Talk Morgan Forums Community Vehicle Talk (non-Morgan) Moto Guzzi V8

I find the accent and all the mispronunced Italian words and names annoying but it is otherwise an interesting video.

Yes the speaker does grate , who the hell ar eMotto Goozzie &it sounds computer generated. But what a bike from one of my favourite bike makers. Full of character as always.

Interesting video if your able to stand the cringing american voice. Saw it run at a John Surtees tribute day at Brands Hatch in 1981. It was relevant as a bike that Surtees road against on works MV Agusta's in the 50's. The museum V8 was brought over with a mechanic of similar vintage and ran round the club circuit rather steadily given the original rubber. Did sound wonderful though.

Moto Guzzi V8 under the skirt - quick service and engine start, with Agostini as support

Moto Guzzi Ottocilindri (1952) .. was a little reluctant to come back to life, but the mechanics managed to convince it... Pino Todero (son of Umberto Todero), Antonio Frigerio (collector and owner of the V8) and Giuseppe Loannoni. Giacomo Agostini gave moral support

Note: for those in the know; Giacomo Agostini is not a relation of my wife's family, even though he lives not so far away.
