My V50 II after a complete bare metal strip down and rebuild.
I eventually sold it as it was just so physically small for any kind of two up distance work but it never failed to put a smile on my face.

The 1st photo shows me and my V65Sp on an Easter Basket Run for a school for mentally handicapped children.
The 2nd photo shows the V65Sp and me outside my law office before I closed it. My goal now is to do more Scouting, farming, and riding. 2008 Hope school Easter Basket run GT on bike at work   no head cover
 
Here's the V50III I picked up last summer. Originally with the intention of vintage racing it. Still haven't decided if that's what it's going to be used for. It's such a lovely little bike to tool around on.

My wife put some substantial miles on it last year and she also has fallen in love with it.


What to do....

This is a wonderful bike. The only reason I went with the V65Sp is because I needed a bit more torque for long trips with luggage through mountains and cities. If it were just me and the machine, I should have chosen the V50.

My 2004 Breva 750. Bought June, 2021 from John Hemenway in Wisconsin. 12K miles, very careful, competent former owners. Upgrades include Guzzi center-stand, Race Tech fork emulators and springs, IKON shock absorbers, color-matched H&B 30L side cases, Kaoko throttle position holder, MPH "startus Interruptus" upgrade, Guzzi Tech sump extender and always used with non-ethanol gas as will continue.

I admit it: I'm smitten.
