I was not going to post this to the list at all until I read an article in
the MGNOC about a fellow Guzzi rider that had a discussion with a rider of
another brand about Guzzi reliability.

Final results are posted for the "American Historic Racing Motorcycle
Association" (AHRMA) road race season. Much to my & a couple of other
people's amazement, I have won the national title in "Historic Production
Heavyweight" by 5 points. This win is not due to my own riding skill or
really the overall speed of my bike but to the reliability of the old
Guzzi. Several people in my class have faster bikes but with speed came
mechanical problems that kept them from finishing every race, me & my bike
crossed the finish line in every race we entered. This bike has had a long
hard life, first pulling a side car for many years & then with very little
done to the motor its getting flogged out on the race track. So for those
that say Guzzi's are not reliable......well its just not been my
experience.

Thanks to everyone that came out to the races & especially to those that
came by the pits & said hello. I'll see you out there next year.
