what wall ?

The small block gear box is entirely different from big blocks. It's just nuts and bolts though. *I haven't been through one,* but my kid just did a Monza. He said it was easy. To get a small block apart, you essentially sit the oil pan on "the box", remove electrical and fuel stuff. Then you can take the frame rails loose, pick up the frame, and wheelbarrow it away. Have a saw horse ready to set the rear fender on. You'll have the engine, transmission, swing arm and rear wheel sitting there. Take the swing arm off, and you have the transmission hooked to the engine sitting on the box left. Takes about 2 hours start to finish without hurrying. Easy. I did a small block tutorial on Wild Guzzi in the "finished projects" section that details all this with pictures. It's named, Lario rehab. All the small blocks are similar.

Here are some pix of my recent V7 trip to Kentucky to eat mutton. I thought I'd posted here before about similar trips -- tho those all came after my Ballabio was history -- but don't see those.Anyway, if you decide to open the link, below, have at it. Just don't whine about "too many pix." It's a character & behavior disorder. On the bright side, you can see all pix at once when the link opens and “hover” over any to get (truncated) captions. To read all of those, click on first pic to go to slideshow mode.This was a grand trip of 1500 or so twisty miles with a boon companion, tho Lannis (on his Stelvio) and I would have preferred our Perfect Pillions, Fay & Kathi to have come along. That said, they were busy — hmmmm; or said they were! — and mutton waits for no woman. OK, here’s the link: Mutton In May Best from the top of Virginia ...Bill

I know we've discussed bike lifts before, but some things bear repeating . . .

Here's a few pics from my almost 2,000 mile trip. I tried to avoid freeways as much as possible. I went through Joshua Tree National Park, Mojave National Preserve, Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Bryce Canyon National Park, Escalante National Monument, Capitol Reef National Park, and Great Basin National Park. Sea level to 10,000 feet. Over 100 degrees through Las Vegas on the way home - but started the day with snow in the 8,000 foot campsite at Great Basin. I didn't do nearly as much dirt as I wanted because my LH mirror broke on the second day - just from vibrations I guess. The RH mirror gave up the ghost on the way home. Otherwise, the Stelvio did great - super comfortable. And she's like a camel crossing the desert with that 8.5 gallon gas tank.

Well, there is that..
