Todd,
Madison is a great town. I went to school there 73-75
Didn't see a Loopframe though.
I had major culture shock coming from NYC but once over that I really
appreciated the city.
You still living there??
I am comfortable with mechanical items but am also a moron when it comes to
electrical things. But as you say, these old guys are pretty simple to work
on. I am tackling rewiring now to install a new switch for horn lights and
directional signals. Bought an ohmmeter and traced some circuits. For most
of you its hard to believe but this is a big breakthrough for me.
Now that I tried it, I dont know why I was so put off by working on the
wiring.
If I can do it anyone can.
Good luck with your Guzzi search
Pete

I have been riding motorcycles on and off for 32 years, but most recently (past 6 years) have made it my main transportation. Since 1971, when I saw my first Moto Guzzi (Ambassador in Madison, Wisconsin parking ramp----I heard it before I saw it .....tapping sound), I was hooked. I had always wanted one, but never acted on actually getting one.......mostly for one reason. I am a moron when it comes to working on motorcycles, and this leads me to the reason why I am getting one now. At the age of 50, I want to start to learn as much as I can about motorcycles, especially Ambo/Eldo. They seem to be more user friendly than any other marque, and from what I have seen over the years, the comraderie and friendliness of Moto Guzzi organizations is unique. The one thing I do ask of you all is that you please be patient with me. I will probably ask some obvious and idiotic questions......I apologize in advance. This will be a learning experience for me and I beg your indulgence. I am very excited to find and ride a loopframe,and hope I can meet some of you some day. Thanks...
