Jay ... You are The Man !
Cheers for posting Alvin !
This is one of the best clips I've seen that captures the passion of owning an old MV.. Makes me want to buy a 750 America  and reminds me how much I liked owning my Jota.. .

Was already posted here http://www.mvagusta.net/forum/showth...600#post567600 last Monday by Adrian
 I took mine out today after looking at that vid through the week - apart from the faux pas regarding MV Agusta's history and ownership, Jay is pretty spot on with the rest. If someone had a gun to my head and made me part with all my bikes bar one - this is the one I'd keep. Riding it is a completely visceral experience.

What mistake did Leno make on corporate ownership?

Quote:
1.MV Augsta has made bikes since the 20's. 2. Reference to "Count Agustini" 3. Helicopter divison purcashing Bell Helicopters - whilst there was a licence agreement there was never a merging, in fact Agusta Helicopters merged with Westaland in 2000 or thereabouts or at least so the old guys in the motorcycle/helicopter museum at Sammarate told me in 2010 and I am NOT about to doubt them, right, wrong or somewhere in between
