Bob,
Thanks, Bob!
"Archives" may not be the right word, but I'm talking about all the messages on this board to date from back in 2000, I think. I put it on my favorites at:
http://lists.topica.com/lists/Loopframe_Guzzi/read/message.html?mid=1717513516&sort=d&start=23799
TONS of great information - I haven't been able to get the SEARCH feature to work, though. I'm probably doing something wrong, but I've tried searching 2 or 3 times.

Hello everyone! Steve Hampton here - I too am a new member, but it seems I'm far removed here in southwest Arkansas from the mainstream Guzzi population! Like Charlie, I'm an Italian motorcycle fan. I've owned a 1990 Ducati 906 Paso for many years and early this year traded my BMW R1100S for a 1993 Moto Guzzi Daytona. I love the Daytona more than any motorcycle I've ever ridden - it's beautiful, it's fast, it handles great, it sounds great, and for the first 45 minutes, it's heaven to ride - BUT on a long trip it just KILLS my 56 year old body! That's why I decided to buy my 1970 Ambassador - just last weekend - from a fellow named William Griffith near here in Farmerville, LA. So far, I've just been cleaning the bike up - have ordered a POR 15 kit for the tank that's leaked around the cap and bubbled the paint up. The carburetors need cleaning and I'll retorque the heads and adjust the valves, but the old gal runs pretty well, so I hope to mostly just use it for local puttin'
- at least until I find a good old sidecar to add to it - and do a "rolling restoration".
I've really enjoyed the loop site - lots of expertise here among the members! I've spent some time reading the archives to avoid those dumb "what kind of oil / tires" questions.
Thanks for your time and hard work!
