Friday afternoon off and friends to meet at our country-store/Best Reuben in the World hangout. On the way home, got this shot of a couple old, greasy smokers parked next to one another . . .

well, I'm new here so I will introduce myself. I've been active in sport bikes for years, and have owned at least one of every japanese crotch rocket, and a few ducatis, but never a guzzi. i currrently have 6 bikes in the garage, and was scrolling through sale adds late and night and discovered this guy on a copart auction. as i am a complete and utter moron, i didn't read the terms and conditions. my "winning" bid of $650, turned into $1800 after auction fees, broker fees, and doc fees. the true kick in the gut came when the broker hit me with a $2200 shipping charge, making my $650 bike a $4121 purchase. of course this was all spelled out in the fine print, that i didn't read. i'm trying to make the best of it, as i am truly excited about the bike https://carsfromwest.com/en/lot/copart-42837292

I bought a full set (4) Pyramid parts bushes for my 43mm forks for around $50ua. These bushes are nothing special in the scheme of things and if the low friction coating has worn off them then you need to replace them or they will start tearing up the chrome sliders. The ones in my second hand 43mm forks were actually fine but I'm not sure how many miles were on them. Ciao

Those 22 hundreds would have been nice to have to replace a few of the missing features though... but its a Guzzi, so it got good bones, all the rest seems to be cosmetics.

thank you very much, I'm getting past the financial hit and taking it as a steep learning curve about buying bikes online. in reality I am very excited about this bike. I have rescued numerous sport bikes, so the condition doesn't scare me. what really impresses me about guzzi ownership is the owners. So far the people I have met are very passionate about their bikes. I don't think there is any other brand with so many one owner bikes. Fortunately for me i have two fantastic guzzi dealers within a few hundred miles of me. i will post up more pictures and details when i get the bike home. thanks!!

I looked into this bike, seems like a fair deal. it is a consignement bike. the tachometer is not working and the seller refuses to fix, or take any less.

Mine's not going anywhere either.

Thanks for the encouragement. Harpers shows the Guzzi part (that does not mean they have them) for $41US. Each. Ouch.
