E,

I spoke with Hubert Curran today. He said that he is likely going to head
your way for the Ontario Rally along with Barry Cox. Of course Hubert will
be taking his 2001 Cal Special instead of his trusty old Eldo. Sounds like
it will be a good time. I'll be thinking about you guys as I sweat it out in
Virginny :-)

Take notes. I expect to read all about the event in a future newsletter.

...Ian

There are usually a couple of Loops and I am hoping we will be at
least 4 this
year. The only problem is that we have stiff competition from Ian
who has been
relentlessly lobbying for that other Rally.....

 Thanks everyone for the links and tips on the front brake. I have
guzziology, and the parts diagrams from cycle garden will help
me understand
 the terminology without having to be in the garage ripping it
apart to see
 what is what. One wrong click though and it was all over....the guzzi
girls.

Elisabeth, I am hoping to make it to Utopia for the rally. How
many loops
 usually make it out?

Hi Shawn,

You may also want to purchase Guzziology.

We are holding the Ontario Rally on the weekend of June 27th in Utopia,
Ontario. For more details:

You are very welcome. If you do decide to come, send me an
email and I will
 bring my books and manuals to the rally.

Cheers,

 Hi guys,

I have an 73 850 eldo up here in Montreal. My dad got me into guzzi's
just in the past year or so. He helped me find an original unrestored
bike from a guy living on one of the Islands off the coast of
Vancouver, B.C. I have only been out east since the Fall. Now that
the coldest winter of my life is finally over, and my bike has just
been uncrated, I am wondering if there are any guzzi riders in
Montreal.

Also, can anyone give me directions on setting up the front brake. I
have never owned drum brakes before as my last bike was a KLR 650 and
before that, a 73 honda 550.

Thanks a lot,
Looking forward to your emails.
