John (and all)-
My Eldo is an original disc model.
Guzzi Day 2001 was pretty killer. Probably 200 bikes there. 2/3 Guzzis.
Mine was the only disc brake loop there :). Damn, the new Guzzis look good
up close (saw 3 Rosa de Mandellos there!) Sound even better...spent so much
time talking to people, I never made it around to the test rides. Food was
OK...hot dogs were great. The burgers were crunchy) Thanks to Ken Pitts for
loaning me some sunscreen! Mark @ MG Classics and a friend were there.
Super nice guy and gave me quite a few good ideas. Everyone I met was
nice...no attitudes (except for the straight-piped-ape-hangered harley's
that rode in, and then left and then rode by loudly 20 or so times the rest
of the day). Ya gotta come next year. Mike Skaggs, you too...me and Ken
figured you'd be there.
Speedvision was there and the show is supposed to be May 22. Check your
local listings.
Ciao!
Chris in NC

<DIV></DIV>>Keith-
<DIV></DIV>>The simplest, most visible, and effective lock I've seen lately is
<DIV></DIV>>one that
<DIV></DIV>>MAW and others sell, that clamps over the throttle and front brake
<DIV></DIV>>or the
<DIV></DIV>>clutch side. Doesn't totally imobilise the bike, but seems like it
<DIV></DIV>>would
<DIV></DIV>>work well anyway. The other option is use a piece of thick coated
<DIV></DIV>>cable
<DIV></DIV>>(bright orange if possible) and a case hardened (very
<DIV></DIV>>important...bolt
<DIV></DIV>>cutters will NOT cut these) padlock to attach the front wheel to the
<DIV></DIV>>frame.
<DIV></DIV>>This will totally immobilise the bike, but one runs the risk of
<DIV></DIV>>trying to
<DIV></DIV>>take off without removing it, causing terrible wheel and ego damage.
<DIV></DIV>> If ya
<DIV></DIV>>have a disc front end, a disc lock works, but has the same
<DIV></DIV>>disadvantages as
<DIV></DIV>>a cable. I noticed a Guzzi dealer selling tags to put on the
<DIV></DIV>>handlebars to
<DIV></DIV>>remind people to remove their disc lock before riding so I guess
<DIV></DIV>>that is a
<DIV></DIV>>fairly common problem.
<DIV></DIV>>I think the clutch/brake lever lock would be the best. Leave the
<DIV></DIV>>bike in
<DIV></DIV>>gear and putting it over the clutch would work well, without the
<DIV></DIV>>risk of
<DIV></DIV>>messing up the front wheel.

<DIV></DIV>>>Greetings,
<DIV></DIV>>>
<DIV></DIV>>>Searched through the archives for this topic, found some stuff but
<DIV></DIV>>>never

<DIV></DIV>>>to
<DIV></DIV>>>get it working if it doesn't require major effort. What can I do
<DIV></DIV>>>to get
<DIV></DIV>>>a key to fit and work in this lock? Or should I not bother? What
<DIV></DIV>>>type
<DIV></DIV>>>of lock do y'all use if I don't use the steering lock? Would like

<DIV></DIV>>>drive the Ambo to work, but don't want to leave her unprotected.
