Tim,
I clicked on your Mostly Guzzi page; nice photos. The pic of you on your
Centauro is the one I remember.
Those Falcones are nice bikes. Hey, do you know anything about Ladolas?
Still have parts for them? Are they reliable? Just wondering as I really
like the look of them and they seem like a nice small ride. Thanks, Bob
Hawkes

I took it to a good shop and the tech tested the generator, and then they sold me a regulator that was for |
| '65 Ford, for $10. It was identical to the regulator as shown in the Loopframe repair manual. It worked for a while then my system went out, |
| it was the generator. I since had Mark, at MG Classics rewire most of it, and he put on a good generator and regulator. The same tech just rebuilt my starter. I will see what he gets for them, |
| what they are in other places. I think thhis is mentioned in the Tips |
| too. Current wisdom has it that you need the Marelli regulator, or a Lucas. |
| the Lucas was only about $35 dollars, last time I checked.
