You stole it. Welcome. It's worth at least a grand.

| Hello, My name is Mark Wolf and I just joined this list. I'm an Aircraft Mechanic by trade and "play" with motorcycles as a hobby. I just bought my Moto Guzzi 2 weeks ago. It is a much neglected, but complete '71 Ambassador. It needs a lot of TLC, but I think it has a lot of potential to be a nice bike. I'm primarily a sportbike guy, but I've always had a thing for Italian cars/bikes and I love an interesting project. A few weeks ago I was driving in my truck and noticed an old motorcycle for sale in someones front yard. I stopped and was surprised to find it was a Moto Guzzi. I decided I had to have it and a deal was struck. The bike is complete, but currently not running. It has never been crashed, though at some point in it's life it received a few dents in the tank. Here are a few pics of the bike, taken the day I brought it home: http://home.indy.rr.com/markwolf/images/guzzi.jpg http://home.indy.rr.com/markwolf/images/guzzi5.jpg I don't know a lot about Guzzi's (yet) so I'm not sure if I got a decent deal or not. The bike doesn't run but has never been wrecked and is 100% complete, minus the headlight bulb. It has 26,000 miles and came with original owners manual and overhaul manuals. I paid $400 for the bike. I'm currently building a new house, so I won't be starting the project until after I move. Until then I'll be gathering as much inso as I can about the bike and determining what course I want the project to take. Currently my goal is a nice looking bike that I can take for occasional cruise around town. Mark |
