Wayne, Bear with me. I lived in Chicago for many years. Moved out here to
CT. about 8 years ago. Bought my 1st. Guzzi out here. Now I have 5. On
the border CT. and NY.about 45 mins from where I live is a lady whose late
husband owns 3 Guzzi.. He was a State Police undercover investigator. He
died in a motorcycle accident 4 or 5 years ago. He was riding a 1000S.
This bike has been sold. She has a Cali and a V700. Her late husband
restored this V 700 to the highest level. All stainless nuts and bolts,
Manfred Hectch did the engine [he did the engine work for Dr. Johns Daytona
Guzzi, and many other race bikes] Sadly this bike has been sitting. I want
to buy it but no room. I heard her husband put 5 or 6 K in the restoration.
I have not spoken to her since the spring but I heard the bike is still for
sale. Any Interest? Let me know. All the best, Joe O.

I own a 1973 european model of the V7 sport. This bike has a clear title, runs well, is 99% complete and is in good condition except that paint is |
| original and has been partially removed in preparation for paint. Adverse conditions 1. Seat- pan and foam are original and cover is in good condition. Cover |
| not original. 2. Rear tail light assembly- Bike is currently fitted with a BMW airhead type rear tail light. No damage or alterations were done to the original tail light mounting bracket. 3. Ignition switch- Not original. I did install the alternate that was recommended by harpers. 4. Exhaust system- Original exhaust pipes and mufflers are on bike but |
| been painted black by some previous owner. Crossover pipe is also there. 5. Valve covers, cylinders, heads and generator cover have been painted black. I have experimented in removing this paint and believe it can be |
| without too much headache. This is a european model with speedo marked in kilometers. shift is on |
| side and is 1 up and 4 down. Swan neck handlebars are forged type rather than stamped ( I have been told that the forged bars are more desireable than the stamped) Mechanically the bike is 100%. It runs strong and smooth through all |
| No leaks. In summary, this a bike needing paint, a tail light, seat, possibly a new exhaust system if old can not be chromed, and it is ready for the show. |
| decals will be included) I am looking for a nice, original v7 ( or possibly other pre 70 loop)and cash. I once owned a 66 v7 and foolishly traded it away. Now I sorely miss the bike and would love to have another. Sorry, I do not own a digital camera and do not have a scanner. I thought I would run this by the list before I go elsewhere. let me know if you are interested. I am in no hurry.
