Greg,
You write books about Guzzis. You just look at a Guzzi and they behave (OK, I have an active imagination). I have to work at it.
Just two weeks ago my starter quit. I was bummed but I just took the solenoid apart, cleaned the contacts put her back together and she was ready to go. The week before that I noticed my battery charger light was still on 'red' indicating that the battery was not charging. Took a look and it was just that the cable on the positive side was a bit loose.
I hope you didn't take my remark the wrong way (maybe I was too strident, sorry) it's just that there are little things, at least on my bike, that can make it unreliable unless I do regular preventive maintenance. I was suprised when you reported all those miles you had ridden with minimal maintenance. Believe me, I'm jealous! Bob
