Charlie,
I am in Arlington, VA. I used to live in Herndon from 84 to 86, and
knew the area quite well. Now, though, the Northern VA area has grown so
much it feels more like NY, although it is pobably not so bad out past
Leesburg. I have not finished relocating from TX, and still have not
sold my house there. I have been riding around here on a BMW I brought,
and will move my Eldo in a couple of weeks. I am looking forward to
hooking up for some rides. This area is a lot more fun to ride in than
most in TX.
Have you heard anything recently from Epco about the slash-cut
mufflers they were going to make (I guess I should contact Tom Epping?
(?-can't remember the last name). I got some Mac mufflers because I
couldn't wait, but don't really like them. I know that you provided them
with a muffler as a pattern, and hope it was the original Lafranconi and
not a Mac.
I also took your advice from a few months ago and put Conti tires on
the Eldo, which work very well. The price was right, too (at Motorcycle
Accessory Warehouse, the pair cost less than $120).

 Hi Brian,
Where abouts in Northern VA? I live about 40 miles from Leesburg, VA as
does
Dave Otis. My friend Dan lives in Winchester, VA and there's a couple of
other Loopers in the MD/DC/WV/VA area (a fair number of later-model
Guzzi
riders also). Now maybe I'll have more like-minded folks to ride with!
Cheers,

Charlie

Gary,
When I was wiring my Eldo this past summer, I needed some tubing for
making new harnesses, and could not find anything anywhere. I tried
Radio Shack, JC Whitney, and called several auto electric shops around
Dallas, and no-one could help me. The only thing I could get was some
automotive corrugated-type plastic tubing, which would have looked
unsightly on the bike. I did have an excellent local hardware store that
has everything, and eventually used heat shrink tubing I got there,
which worked wuite well. However, for future reference, I would like to
know where to get tubing of the same type used in standard wiring
harnesses, so please let me know where I can get this.
I have recently moved from Texas to the Northern Virginia area, which
I know is home to some of the people who contribute to this list. Please
let me know if anyone lives close by.
Thanks,
Brian

 didn't understand basic maintenance. The Jap stuff is far from bullet
proof and very over rated. BTW shrink wrap (Polyolefin) is not at all
supple. Good vinyl is. I do hate to see bikes come in where shrink tube
is used in place of vinyl flex.
