Bob, Sounds like you are enjoying life! Guzzis just give and give to this
enjoyment, even more than just plain motorcycling. I find it fun stuff to
compare old Loops to other old bikes, new bikes etc. Loops have so much of
the "right stuff" that other bikes fall short on. Just my opinion. I was
recently toying with getting a 78 BMW R100S. Rode it, liked it, performed
better than the Loop in some areas but it ain't a loop. I have a 2000 SV650
too, love it but it is a different experience from the Ambo. I say ride a
Lamans before you buy and make a slow comparison. You may like some aspects
of the Tiger that you won't get with any other bike. Bob

I'm the proud owner of a '73 Eldo Police and a 2002 Triumph Tiger. Took
the Eldo out for a 110 mile run last Sunday and fueled up just before
heading out and just before stopping at home. I averaged about 42 mpg
with Amal carbs. Monday jumped on the Tiger and filled up and calculated
40.2 mpg. How does a set of old amals out perform EFI? If I switch over
to Delorto's will I have to stop and take gas out of the tank from time
to time or do the Del's just help with acceleration and top end? Do all
Guzzi's with carbs get this type of gas mileage? Do all Guzzi's make you
grin so much your jaw hurts? Do I sell the Tiger and get a Le Manns?
Sorry, Just thinking out loud. BTW, I wind up both toys as hard as I can
when I play with them, they both have a great sounds. Totally differnt,
but great.
