Keith - what Ian said is true. I really had a hard time with my Ambo for 18
months. It just would not run on both cylinders most of the time. I did
lots of stuff to try to fix it but nothing worked until this Summer I found
out by chance that the brand new battery that was installed by the dealer
had a dead cell in it. The battery was replaced and it has run great since.
So, this was all a combination of my own motorcycle ignorance and a dealer
that was not as helpful as I would have liked. But Ian, Andy, Peter,
Charlie, (there's a guy out in Arizona - I'm blocking on his name) anyway a
whole bunch of guys on this list listened to me, supported me and slapped me
into staying with the Ambo. And, I'm glad they did. This is one cool bike.
I am a 48 year old guy and I need as much coolness in my life as I can get.
I like the bike a lot, with minimal tinkering (which I welcome) it stays
reliable. Lots of people stop me and ask about the bike; it promotes such
good will - it is truely a real Ambassador of Good Will. It is really a
neat, old bike that still works very well. A lot of biker guys say that the
Guzzi is as reliable as a BMW. Anyway, I am not sure what your story is
with your bike (I know you have a spring problem), i.e. why it is that you
are thinking of getting rid of it. Is it breaking your heart?? I've been
there. Someone on this list pronounced that I have the 'Guzzi Purple Heart'
for all my suffering! If you want to chew the fat on this problem give me
your phone number and I'll give you a call.
At least don't sell it until we talk, OK? Bob Hawkes
