Similar story to my own.
This was the bike that got me into Guzzi's, back in 1994......the 1100 Sport (the MK1 carb version). This was my first Guzzi.
It was a bit of a handful to ride at first, but once you got used to it's quirks, it was a very rewarding ride.
The other bike in the photo was my 1100 Quota.
