    I dunno, I guess I've always had this mental image of Moto Guzzi being
    the italian version of Harley Davidson. Antiquated, somewhat agricultural,
    under-developed machinery.
    I did briefly consider that they might need them to tame dodgy handling
    characteristics, but dismissed the (frankly ludicrous) idea, that an
    Italian manufacturer could ever design anything less than perfect. The
    wobbles and shakes would just 'manly' characteristics that any red blooded
    male should proudly take in their stride. Fitting a steering damper would
    be tantamount to admitting flaws. Er, that sort of thing.

    TBH, I'm not entirely sure why it's got one; you really have to provoke
    it to get any reaction and even then its not too worrying.

    It does so love to shimmy though, and I wasn't even pushing it.
