Hey Andy,

I called them a few months ago while trying to find a new mechanic and
they told me they don't work on loops. I was inquiring about the oil
leak between the cases at the time when he told me this, then told me it
would be $1000-$2000 to do that type of work (engine removal) which I
gather is there way of keeping loops away from their shop for
maintenance.

Hi Tom,

Thanx for thinking of me! I'm hoping Dave Otis will take on the project
of checking her out and repairing WHATEVER he deems necessary! He said
he would probably disassemble the motor and go through everything
anyway. Been trying to get in touch with him as D-day (decision day on
whether or not he would take on Patience) was this past Monday, it all
depended on what happened with his job. No answer at his house the past
2 days, so either he is celebrating with his family or he is out
searching for a new job. I'm anxious to get the Guzzi out of the garage
and into an experienced loopframe mechanics hands for repair, so hard to
find a loop mechanic around here. If your ever in the area, give me a
shout, would love to meet ya! Same goes for anybody else on this board!
Have fun in CA!

The good news!
I'm going to the San Diego Southern Cal Guzzi Rally next weekend!

The bad news.
Ain't goin on a loop.

More good news.
I'm going on a Guzzi for a whole week!

More bad news.
If my sister coulda waited till next week, I would have forgone the
rally/ride to Cal to go with her to New Jersey to deliver a U-Haul foll
of stuff for my other sister who lives in Jersey somewhere. I would have

gone to see Kieth, as I would have been "in the neighborhood" so to
speak and given Patience the once over.

Sorry Kieth. She couldn't wait and I couldn't change my vacation a week.
