There are b-tt plugs hidden somewhere in this video. Can you find them? 😂

[@KrakensGarageandAdventures]

I didn't see the b*tt plugs. 😔😂

Hint: look where Harley is being mentioned

What a labour of love. Fantastic renovation, looks amazing. Every Guzzi owner needs a Carlo in their life.

[@YouMotorcycle]

Thank you! "Every Guzzi owner needs a Carlo in their life." I took a screenshot of this and sent it to him. You're right! Not all heroes wear capes.

[@KrakensGarageandAdventures]

You shall now be named, The Guzzi Necromancer! Fantastic rebuild of this classic bike. 👌

[@YouMotorcycle]

Hahaha. I'm not worthy! All props goes to Carlo. Without him I would just be in my garage hitting the thing with a stick like a monkey lol

[@506motoadv]

Good on you for bringing her back to life! They’re great bikes, even if they can be a little temperamental.

[@YouMotorcycle]

Thanks! Everything, at least for the moment, has been smoothed out! :)

[@RoadReality]

LOL, you gotta love the guys that can just look at or listen to an engine running and they're like "AHA! I know what it is!" I had a mechanic who had an old Volvo P1800 3 bays away from him, and he said to me, "hold on" then he yelled over to his guy, "Hey, check the #3 spark plug, I bet it's fouled" ... sure enough, he could HEAR that that one cylinder was running rich, LOL.

1000%. Seems like weird voodoo to me but if it sorts out my problem, no complaints!

[@pietromorosini9851]

Great video!! Keep up the good content Hope the Guzzi wins in this series!

[@YouMotorcycle]

Thanks so much. I'll either announce the winner at the end of my next video or right after, stay tuned!

[@KTR2020_1]

Great series!! Thanks for the info on Carlo. I live up in the Caledon area so having a good MG resource is awesome. Definitely one downside to this bike (V7 Special) is the challenge of getting accessories and other parts. The bike is wonderful though so well worth it in the end. Cheers Kevin

[@YouMotorcycle]

@@KTR2020_1 thanks Kevin. I'm working on the final episode this week!

[@agave1969]

Nice machine, the seat cover was a good deal. Great video!

[@YouMotorcycle]

Thanks 👍 Getting it all together, bit by bit! I put the new-to-me rear fender on this week. The V7 looks soooo much better and complete now.

[@arthritic.adventures]

Excellent video Adrian!

[@YouMotorcycle]

Thanks so much!

[@kenlloyd9976]

Great series really enjoyed it, well done

[@YouMotorcycle]

Glad to hear, thanks a ton. It took a while to get through these videos because of some personal stuff... had to say goodbye to my dog of 15 years... Trying to get back in the saddle again and go back to put out videos more regularly. Stay tuned, and thank you for the encouragement :)

Great video. I have a MotOK seat cover for my Moto Guzzi Griso: good quality for a very decent price!

[@YouMotorcycle]

@@jala6707 I love the look of the Griso 😍

[@patgambino1420]

Love this video

[@patgambino1420]

I know an upholstery guy that can rebuild the seat

[@YouMotorcycle]

Thanks Pat. So far I think that Moto-K seat cover is going to hold up just fine. Although, one day, maybe during the winter, I'll buy the right staples for my staple gun and add a few more in there.

[@Confedyank]

I’m considering for midweight bike and ADV, like KTM 890 or CFMoto 800 T

[@YouMotorcycle]

@@Confedyank beware of abysmal resale values on cf moto bikes. At least that's the case here anyway. People are pricing at 40% loses vs what they paid for their bikes the year before and still can't find buyers. That being said, if you want to go that route, wait for a used one and you'll save thousands and thousands! 💸👉🏻🚽

[@Confedyank]

@@YouMotorcycle If I wanted resale value, I'll just buy a new RE, they go for more than new here, lol. I just want something to thrash on trails up in mountains down here, lol
