Title: MV Agusta shop in the middle of nowhere Post by: Raux on July 16, 2009, 11:54:20 PM So I was out riding at lunch yesterday and i see this MV shop.
Eh might be cool i think so i stop. They have a full carbonfiber MV Agusta sitting in the 'showroom' just a room with a ton of bikes so cramped you can't get to the back ones But there are about 3 or 4 tricked out MVs then I notice in the shop in the back something on the workbench. The owner invites me in and tells me about it. It's one of the factory race bikes that a customer of his bought from the team for a personal track bike. apparently the motor had put valves through a piston and it was in the middle of a rebuild. you should have seen this bike. the forks alone apparently were 20k euro. anyway after lusting this thing he tells me about a new computer that he found out about in Italy. He says he puts a couple of sensors on my bike I go for a ride and i come back and a custom map is built. So if i make a change like new BMC filter.. i just go back get the sensors hooked up... get a new map. easy as pie not sure of the cost, but i had to go so i couldn't ask more questions... another time Title: Re: MV Agusta shop in the middle of nowhere Post by: redxblack on July 17, 2009, 05:21:39 AM This sounds like a setup for an episode of Amazing Stories or something. Either Satan owns the MV shop and the mappings cost one soul OR you've actually been dead for a while and on your next visit, the shop owner gives you the race bike and you ride it into heaven.
I watched too much tv in my formative years. But all of that sounds pretty incredible. Keep us posted if you do return. Title: Re: MV Agusta shop in the middle of nowhere Post by: Scotzman on July 17, 2009, 09:14:15 AM I'd watch that show or movie. :)

Title: Re: MV Agusta shop in the middle of nowhere Post by: DRKWNG on July 17, 2009, 03:29:18 PM I'm gonna take a wild guess and say... Germany. That sure was helpful. I used to live just down th A62 from where Raux is now, so I was trying to see what village/town the shop was in. Thanks for the assistance though. :-* Title: Re: MV Agusta shop in the middle of nowhere Post by: Raux on July 17, 2009, 11:12:10 PM B37, Frankenstein for those movie-conspiracy theorists
