Thanks for the kind words about "Popeye". I know he would look forward to meeting "Olive".

Heheee! The Ambo you bought from Tom is the Ambo Tom bought from me ! Rexs Popeye also came out of the same stable ! Rex really turned ol Popeye into an EYE POPPER though . From what I have heard your Ambo is looking pretty good too .

Gee wiz..Tom didn't set up the Ambo I purchased from him that nicely!
Anyway I went with the Ikon's MG Cycle stocks. What swayed my purchase,
is the ability to adjust the rebound on the shock. I have a set of Works Shocks on a Bassa and adjusting compression is a $100 bill for new
I like it at the lowest setting (#1 of 4) so it soaks up the rutty city roads without jolting the back of this 220lb rider. I'll kick up the preload with a passenger. Ask any northern snowmobiler about the need to adjust your shock valving.

Moto Guzzi in Italy; I hope you are keeping an eye on Atlanta ! Bring back the Berliners !
