Kev,
I suppose that it is the nature of machinery to fail. Things wear out and
with the Italian way of doing things 30 years ago......you never knew what
you would get. If the guy drank too much vino on the weekend and had a big
fight with his mistress then you would get a lousy bike (or part) on Monday.
He kisses and makes up with her on Tues and you get a wonderful machine with
lots of grease in the steering head bearings on Wed. Quality control was an
uncertainty in those days...I think.
Funny but I know of people that have over 100,000 miles on their bikes that
have had little trouble and others with 30,000 that are having all kinds of
problems. Definately a crap shoot.....part of the character I suppose. Until
then I will ride the bike. And when it fails I will go to the backup bike.
All the more reason to have two Loops in the garage :-)
Regards...Ian

Oh I forgot, There is one thing you can do, But it's too late...... Don't read anything refering to the return spring. |
