    Does this mean that Guzzis will now be able to wheelies?

    "REACTIVE DRIVE SHAFT" TRANSMISSION

    Patented reliability.

    The most significant technical innovation is reactive shaft drive, patented
    by Moto Guzzi under the name 'CA.R.C.' ('Cardano Reattivo Compatto' -
    Compact Reactive Shaft Drive). The new patented drive shaft is incorporated
    inside the aluminium alloy swingarm. The pinion gear and the drive shaft are
    free to oscillate inside the swingarm and the drive shaft is equipped with
    two universal joints with built-in torsional dampers for optimum
    transmission response.

    The main benefit of this original and extremely compact drive system is the
    elimination of the counter-shaft effect typical of conventional shaft
    drives. Also, unlike alternative systems, Moto Guzzi's patented reactive
    shaft drive enables a single piece swingarm to be used.

    Only in first gear with a large speed hump and a huge clutchfan at redline .
    Helped further if you exceed 120kg in weight and in a drag racing position

    PS . Also loaded with a high octane mix in the tank but dont put too much in
    or the fronts tooo heavy .
    Its a fine line

    I was waiting for something along that line, but certainly didn't expect it
    from you Dave.

    Where did you find the comma?
