Rich,
The first Loop I saw was an Eldo. Really I didn't have much of a clue about
the models....all I knew is that I had to have one :-)
I just ended up locating and buying Ambos because that what was out there at
the time.
Can't say I mind either way...I am just happy that I have the bikes. They
are truly wonderous machines with magical powers....whether they are running
like a top or sitting in pieces in the garage :-)
Regards....Ian

| Dead on as usual Ian. Before I bought my Ambassador I only wanted an Eldorado. But in the year of looking I had found that the Ambassador appealed to me more in its own little ways. As stated the rear drive unit |
