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

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

      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.

      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

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

    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.

      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.

    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

      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 :)

      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 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! 💸👉🏻🚽
