It's a WIDE vee, okay? Technically, a right-angle Vee. Looks more like
an "L" to me than a "V." So Guido got it right.
That bike makes me want to cook something with prosciutto [1]! Those
guys know cured meats, boy howdy!

[1] "Straw and Hay with Prosciutto and Peas"
1) Roll up some proscuitto (not that cheesy Canadian or Spanish crap -
use real stuff from Parma or thereabouts - oh yeah, and it's sliced
super thin, remember?) and cut across the grain to form thin shreds
2) Boil up some "white" and "green" fettucine (hence the "straw" and
"hay" name). Don't use any of that cello crap. Make it yourself, or
find a decent deli. Maybe about a cup. Hell, I never measure, so what
do I know?
3) Naturally, start with a shitload of sweet cream butter (1/2 a stick
if you're a sissy) in a saute pan over medium heat
4) Cook up some onions (I prefer thin-sliced shallots) until translucent
5) Add about a cup of heavy cream ("Who wants to live forever?" -F.
Mercury)
6) Add some green peas (frozen is okay, say half a bag). Cook until
tender (2-3 min, longer if frozen)
7) Add the proscuitto and cook about 2 minutes more (it doesn't need
cooking, silly, you're just warming it)
Add the drained pasta. Salt and pepper to taste
9) Here's the good part: add about a cup of parmaggiano reggiano. Damn
that stuff is heaven
10) Stir it up good and enjoy! Eat as much as you can before the
freeloaders get a whiff of it and want some, too
