email: steng@ozemail.com.au
bikes: 1996 1100 Californian fuel injected

I retired 3 years ago after 15 years of running construction projects in China, Russia,Taiwan, India,South America & Hong Kong. I am a member of the Ulysses club since retirement and rode to the South Australia AGM last year. I lost my right forearm as a young man but have continued to ride. I have a prothesis that works the throttle and have relocated the front hand brake to the left hand bar as a thumb brake. All work well. Have done some mods to Guzzi tail lights that has stopped the fuse blowing and located & fixed the fault that was causing the motor to miss on random occasions. Have also fitted foot plates in leiu of the rear pegs as well as a nice high profiled sissy bas that Gail (my wife) reckond is as comfortable as they come. We are all fitted out for touring and enjoy our Guzzi immensly. We both find it a very comfortable bike for long distance touring.

bikes: '98(2000 compl.)V1100Sport

I work for BOS GASES in Kunda Park. V1100Sport.Purchased Sept16/2000. Middle age crisis taken care of! Sexiest fatbitch on the planetet. Prev.exper.the joy's of Guzzi running from Sunshine Coast (QLD) to Gladstone on Andy Best's (S'coast fellow DJ) Mk3 LM every weekend for two years. My brother had a MK1 LM that I used to repair paintwork on occasionally and had to take for a "drying ride" (everyone knows paint takes a three to four hour ride to dry). Owned a '72 850T that I bought as a basket case in '87 turned out to be the engine I was in love with. Had LM pistons, rings and bearings fitted. Used Ken Taylor (Maleny Qld) to tune same. Re-aquainted with Ken recently when I approached him about post warranty care.He pointed out a few prob's that I could get fixed under warranty and now I've been without a bike for 8 days. Good onya Ken.Mind you I was losing faith in the handling. Warranty has been OK, but takes too bloody long. Problems have been: Rust on mirror stems. Pitting and rusting of STAINLESS headers. Nuts and bolts loose on inspection. Pinging? under certain load conditions .Runs on Optimax or whatever 98+ I can find. I Love her and I'll wait for her 'til she's better and I promise never to abuse her!
