Hi everyone.Bought my Eldo in 1990 as a "rolling basket case " from a
guy that had it sitting in his garage for about 5 years. I had heard of
Guzzi , but had never actively pursued buying one. I really didn't
expect to get so wrapped up in repairing/restoring this bike.The bike
sat in my garage for the next 3 years ,without much being done.Parts
were scarce,with the only source I knew of was in Burr Oak,IN and a guy
named Ira Burroughs.Then I got Internet access and this list and all the
related parts catalogs.
Love the Guzzi,it has major soul plus the sense of pride from getting
this bike to be really reliable.
I'm 49 but riding really helps keep my mental attitude about 22. The
Loop series of Guzzi's really Rock!!
