Paul,
Sorry to hear that you are having troubles with your bike.
I have two bikes. On my 69 Ambo I have ridden over 3,000 miles without a
problem. My restored 70 Ambo has over 1000 miles on her now without a
problem.
This past weekend while at the Ontario Rally I remember my riding buddy
Hubert Curran say that through his 100,000+ miles he has had little trouble
on his Eldo.
Any mechanical being can break down. I can remember my dad telling me once
that he had this old Olds car. He was forever putting money into the car and
he was at the point of getting rid of it. But he said he didn't and at some
point he stopped having the fix the car and all he did was put gas and oil
in the thing for the next two years.
Hopefully you will get to that point.
Regards....Ian
p.s. if I had a BMW I would swap you in a second.

| Every one talks about the wonderful Moto Guzzi and it's indestructable motor ..But what about the rest of the bike ? I am used to my old R90/6 , just put gas and go. Just like a car . Last year I traded it in on a "total restored " eldorado from Harpers,and that was the begining of constant problems ..no not the motor but all the rest .....Just like an old british bike. Does anyone on this page actualy have a reliable loopframe that is sutable for touring? Me I have just about had enof... next year I will ride insted of fixing ..anyone want to swap a BMW for an eldo?? "crome dont get you home" paul beaulieu |
