...for having coveted thy Italian's motorcycle. Please...help me. I beg of you, I'm having these temptations that I can't afford! First it was the Thruxton, which would have been fine because it was still a Triumph. Second was the Ural, which would have been fine because they are relatively inexpensive. But now the Moto Guzzi Griso 1100. I LOVE my bike...I REALLY do! But why have I thought of selling my beloved BA for HER. SHE is sexy. Dark complected, mysterious lines. You know SHE'LL get you in trouble, but you know it's worth it, even just to brag...think of the stories! SHE is seducing me! And I'm loving it! I don't think I can balance both a British girl & an Italian bird at the same time...but who can? AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

The griso is a beautiful bike, if there was a Moto Guzzi dealership closer than Palm Beach, FL, I'd be more inclined to add one of them to my Stable.

It can be done, brother. I have a tough time deciding whether I'm going to take the TBA out or the Duc. Both are mysterious, fickle in their own flirty ways, and delightful to experience. It is possible to love two.

Don't worry mate. It's a gorgeous bike. I looked at Guzzi before getting the America and if that had been available then ... who knows. I recently went into a Guzzi dealership looking for a helmet. I didn't look at one lid, I spent 20 minutes looking at the bike. I came out forgetting what I'd gone in for!

Yep, I like that Griso. Hey, looking at their website photos...wasn't sure if I was attracted to the lovely model or motorcycle. dang.
Anyway. I get those same thoughts...tempted by a Rocket..but then just yesterday a truck pulled up beside me on the highway doing 75mph and with a big grin gave me a thumbs up, waving widely. Made me proud of my TBA. 
If I bought another bike, I'd have to keep my Triumph. Well, back to the Moto Guzzi website.

My dear fellow sinner LitzerSki, I have also been drooling over that bike for the past 6 or so months. I got the chance to see it at the Athens motorcycle show in March and have taken several pictures of it. I wanted so much to see it "in the flesh" that I actually went to the show in a wheelchair, following an accident (crushed ankle) I had in February. Evil seductress eh?

If you think that is hot, wait until you see the red one. It's like a Ferrari on two wheels. I have sat on it a few times, it's pretty darn comfortable.

Right now, the only thing keeping me from getting one is my lack of a garage. A good friend of mine is doing me a huge favor by allowing me to come and go as I please from his garage. I can't ask to put another bike in there either. I don't know if I'd street park her and keep her in the city with me either...

Yes, for our bikes, the black ones are defitley better. We have tough bikes. But, the Griso, is an extremely sexy bike. The red one exudes pure Italian seduction.

Ask shari how she got a garage. I think she just kept her eyes peeled and someone up the street rented it out and she nabbed it. Probably more common than you think in a city environment.

Until 'she' asks the dreaded question...."Does my muffler look big in this....." 
If you do it today you MIGHT regret it. If you CAN'T do it tomorrow you WILL regret it.
