Hi,
I�m still unpacking boxes and I found info from my �98 trip to Mandello Del
Lario. You guys probably already have this info, but here it is on the
offchance it might be useful for some lucky person going to Italy:
When I was in Mandello del Lario, there were 3 shop selling Guzzi products. One
was closed. The two I visited where:
1. Agostini (via Statale, 60)
telephone: 03 41 735 448
Fax: 03 41 735 727
They speak English and ship to North America. More modern outfit. When I was
there, one of the sales people was kind enough to go scavenging in boxes in the
back room for decals . (Those of you who�ve seen my bike know it is missing
the Eldorado decal and the eagles on the tank ). She found the ones I needed.
I bought a couple other parts there but also at:
2. Motofornitura Valassi (Via Parodi 29)
Telephone: 03 41 731 223
Fax: 03 41 735 394
They don�t speak english. (At least didn�t when I was there) I can get by with
my very basic Italian, but I had also photocopied the relevant pages of my
parts book ? just showed them what I was looking for and they pulled them out.
The shop still had the old fixtures and you had a sense of a lot of Guzzi
history. A European Guzzi owner told me they had the best prices for parts.
(He�d ridden all the way from northern France). Found the remaining parts I
needed to rebuild my clutch system.
I also bought parts at Pellegrini G. E in Rome ? Via di S. Cosimato 7/10
If anyone wants a street map of Mandello del Lario, I could try scanning the
one I brought back.
