| OK... Here goes.. I've been agonizing about this for the last couple of months and really need to do something about it. History... I've got a '67 V700 that I bought in 1970 and subsequently drove all over the country for 2 years. Working here and there and then moving on. After settling down and getting married I parked it for quite a few years. About a year ago I decided to get it running again. I bought new Cylinders, pistons, rings, gaskets, cables, tires, battery etc... etc... I got it running but it needs some work getting everything running right. It's titled, licensed and inspected (Texas). Cosmetically, it's not horrible but it's not good either. The 6 months I spent in the Fla Keys took it's toll on the chrome. I love Guzzi's, I just don't have the desire to restore bikes anymore.. Soooo, I need to find someone who will treat it right. I've already gotten rid of my Royal Enfield Interceptor, and my BMW R100/7 and now I need to do something about the Guzzi while someone can still make something out of it. I'd like to recoup some of the money I've put into it the last 6 months, but more importantly, I'd like to find a good home for the beast and not a home where someone is going to part it out. Right now, it's a naked bike. I've got a Windjammer II, a wixom fairing, Wixom bags and rails, an extra engine (Ambo .750CC) and lots of other Guzzi pieces/parts that I've accumulated over the last 30 years that'll go with it. If anyone is interested and wants pics Email me and I'll send some. I don't want to ship so it'll be a "take with" deal. Let me know... Jim |
Is that the single malt talking or just another cheap WHINE ?
