Hi,
Just joined the group. Also, just joined the cafe crowd by buying the cafe racer in the link below:
http://www.starkautosales.com/inventory.php?make=MOTO%20GUZZI
It's from an insurance writeoff. Hopefully, in a few months after a cleanup, she'll look something like this (including the fairing -- that's on order -- but less the racing number plate):
At the moment the bike runs but I need to repair and replace some parts that are damaged.

You can put it back on the road or do you have another non-writeoff frame for it?

Earache my eye...
How in the FUCK does somebody burn up a new Guzzi the first year?!

[/quote]NP putting back on the road. It has a "None" branding meaning it can be relicensed for the road. There is absolutely no mechanical or electrical damage; strictly cosmetic. AFAIK, the building in which the motorcycle was sitting caught fire, causing the damage. The insurance wrote it off because the cost of replacement parts approached or exceeded the street value of the motorcycle.

Teazer, great eye on the clevises! previous owner told me he purchased it from a shop in Hungary, he was doing a restoration project but lost interest. not light at all, weighs about 20lbs, but damn does it look pretty!

Thanks Tim! use to be a disc brake guy, but after seeing the 4LS on your XS, it sold me on drum brakes

the hub is a replica from the early TZ250
I could not believe how heavy those brakes are. When I bought one for a TZ250A project, it surprised me, but they do look amazing. I'd really lie one for a TD3 rebuild, but a stock RD disk front end weighs a whole lot less and works better.
It's a beauty all right

I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong
Replacing my motorhome below:
With this: Just got this Kawasaki ZR-7s Saturday.
This will be my 2 up and sport/touring ride. It came with Givi hardbags, which obviously
aren't in the pictures. I know we will miss the Concours on long trips, but most of our
trips are 2-300 miles, and the ZR is much more manageable for this. We'll just have to make a few more stops on the long ones.
P.S. the motorhome is for sale.

Picked up a Aero Skirt today for my Scorpion helmet. Will help keep my mouth from freezing during my sub-zero rides Makes a huge difference.
