You can go to the "Anima Guzzista/Guzzi Soul" homepage from here, if Brevas aren't for you!

Sh#t, I reckon the guy cranking in to the left hander is about have a low-side.
Look at the aspect of the bars in relation to the turn radius, usually the wheel turns the opposite way to the turn, just basic physics really, it is only a small amount usually but if you slowly lower your bike to one side (better done when it is stopped & you are on a nice hard non-slippery surface) you will notice the wheel turns contrary to the lean of the bike.
Too bad they didn't take a series of shots, cause I reckon he's about to get off.

Was gonna say something more about it, but don't like seeing other stack it, never has bothered me though, done it enough times that I sort of get some perverse pleasure from it. I used to always walk over to the fence (when I walked away from them) & ask the spectators whether it looked good or not, guess that's part of motorcycle racing, make it exciting for the paying punters, ok when you have a sponsored ride, bad if ya paying your own way.

Hey hairee,
You need to take a better pic for your avatar, the one you have now, you would be hard pressed to tell what it is.
I can go into your profile & fix it if ya want, I have some lovely photos of some really pretty Cali's that you could use.
Na serious, did you take a more side-on shot, with more of your bike & less of the scenery.
If ya have windows, go into picture editor & crop it so it just fits inside the screen.
Did I get a photo of it at the Storey Bridge?
Or email me a photo & I can edit it for ya, then put it on my photo bucket, then you can download it from there & stick it up as your avatar.

Nice avatar Wal.....I'd like to see the outfit sometime.......at a monthly meeting perhaps?
Re the photo I used, it's there to show the road and capture riders' imaginations more than anything else.
Guzzi riders wearing their reading glasses should recognise the bike! I cropped it a bit already, but the pic was only taken on my phone, hence the poor quality.
Thanks for the offer of help.....I should dust off the wallet and buy a decent camera to stick in a jacket pocket I guess.
BTW, I'm waiting for someone to recognise the road and ask me about it.
It should be well known by travellers who love a quick hill-climb and a nice sit-down with a sea view

I like it, nice sweeping curve and a Guzzi. Sometime life is good. Anyway its good to have something a little different for your avatar.
