Guzziesti,
I heard from Guzzi friend Paul Hanel from Ohio this weekend-with a painful
story to tell.
On the way home from the North Carolina rally Paul's T-5 suddenly developed
a speed wobble-tank slapper that ended in a HARD crash. Paul spent
considerable hospital time getting physical damage, including several bones
that needed rebuilt attended to. He is back home now, healing & rehabbing,
and has turned his attention to his bike.
The '84 T-5 rolling chassis & sheet metal are totaled. Paul didn't have full
insurance coverage & is now trying to build a bike w/limited funds. He has
located a '78 T3 complete except for motor & transmission & wants to know if
the square head motor/tranny from the T-5 will bolt up in the T-3 frame. Can
anyone help? Has anyone done something similar? Paul is not on the list,
e-mail him at path-@dragonbbs.com or land line (740) 554-5438. Paul needs
the help of the Guzzi community to get back on the road.
Thanks,
Ron Komoroski
