The BSA I have has had a nut and bolt rebuild to look how I want and the Moto Guzzi will be having the same build.
Had lots of Guzzies and BMW older bikes. Now restoring the V50 from a rusty box(es) of bits.
I previously owned a Mk III.
This Guzzi is supposed to be a keeper. I've spent a long time looking, found one and now am trying to get it in showroom condition. Minor mods: electronic injection, Corbin seat, Staintune exhausts, dark red paint. All from previous owner. Planning to put bulk miles on the bike and entertain the kids with regular pillion rides.
I started riding on back roads in the late 60s. Always had BMWs although I bought an Ambassador out of the US last year and thoroughly enjoying the pace of the 4 speed V7 750. Home is now Perth, WA.
I've had Guzzis for many moons after riding a 58 BSA A10 that I brought with me from UK for yonks. V7 (set on fire) 850T (sold) Cali Jackal (crashed) Cali stone (Crashed and kept for spares) now Cali Stone that never let me down before now. Gunna need some advice!
