| If you truly want one of Marks restorations but can't afford to buy one outright (like most of us), why not use his remote restoration service. Just send parts to him when you can afford it and he will send back beautifully restored parts. When you finally have everything done by him, start unwrapping all the parts and begin assembly. After it's all together you will have a fine looking Guzzi that was restored by Mark, but assembled by you. Simple right? Paul 73 Eldo "Elvira" 949 conversion 74 Eldo "Daisy" undergoing a full police restoration I bought my bike from Mark. It was an older resto, about 10 years ago, and just sat in the PO's garage. Mark bought it back, then sold it to me. I asked him to "test drive" it for about a 100 miles or so (how often will your bike be in Mark's shop on the left coast?). True to his rep, after putting it through the abuse, he ended up tearing into it AGAIN before he'd send it out to me less than perfect. More affordable than a fresh resto, but just as nice! I'm not as talented as most of you nuts, so this was a good option for me. Where else in the loopworld will you get that kind of service or product? I'll find my own Guzzi Girls... |
