I had a very nice ride through local Lincolnshire countryside a couple of days ago on my 1977 T3 California, but when I got home the rear of the bike just didn't look right. It took me a minute or two to realise that the rack had simply sheared off and disappeared. I am outraged! I purchased this bike in 1979 believing Moto Guzzis to be well built but after only 45 years this component has failed. Thank heavens I can still rely on my Norge.....or at least I think I can!

Vibration from your high quality roads finally caused the metal to fatigue. With all the taxes you guys pay you would think the roads would be smooth as glass. ;)
 
I got a buddy with a Big Dawg. His side stand fell off during a long(ish) ride. That thing doesn't have a center stand (if it did, ya couldn't lift the machine onto anyhow). Until he made it home again, he hadda lean it against a tree or post. He called them "The Mast of Shame!" (boat enthusiast).
