Hey I met a friend in similar circumstances...
I had my Guzzi parked outside our local Cycle Gear store and once inside this guy came to me and asked "How do you like your 8V GRiSO?"
He figured it was mine since I had on my Guzzi jacket that day and being the only one with such.
Told him I loved the bike blablablah to which he said he had a 07 1100 and loved it, to which I said I also had one of those.
Anyway that following weekend, we were riding together and been friends ever since.
He since traded the GRiSO for a new V7 but he misses the big block so he might get a Stelvio...
