 Funny line there, Mike!
Yep, Guzzis do vibrate "a little", don't they.
Nice lookin' bike there, though.
(...and glad to see ya back in the saddle) 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Nice bike there. A bud I ride with has a 01 1100cc that looks just like yours. It is a fine machine for sure.
A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.

True Mike, and pretty much like the non-balance shaft model Harley V-Twins do too.
I guess about almost 10 years ago now, Matt Capri of South Bay Triumph in SoCal, who at the time was also selling Guzzis for a little while, loaned me a Guzzi V11 Sport while my BA was having its scheduled maintenance done overnight, and yep, while that Guzzi "rock and rolled" at every stoplight, once I'd take off from the light it would smooth out quite a bit.

I was up at a Guzzi dealership a few months ago when there was still snow on the ground and love the look of those bikes. Was looking at the V7 Racer with the chromed out tank and can't wait to find an excuse to go up and test ride one.

Ive owned many Guzzi's.....mainly Californias and I just love that engine and handling.
Yours looks so good....makes me want another.
Sadly my Beloved says no as she cant bear to see a grown man cry come repair time.....
On the other hand my Softail will be sold soon so maybe time to try again.
Enjoy
