The starter switch on the Guzzi 850 has failed again and the headlight has rattled itself broken in 2 places. A replacement OEM unit is over £200 and the switch is a lot of money as well. Oh, and the new Michelin road classic tyres? we really need to talk about them.
All things considered though the bike was so much fun and just perfect for the fast and twisty roads in Normandy. Most of the roads were good surface especially compared to those in the UK and blissfully quiet of traffic. A great way to spend a few days away from the desk.
