The sound of a 1977 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce…

Yeah, there are not all that many dirt roads in Toorak, are there. And that's where those things tend to live.... PS: for those who are scratching their heads, ask the internet what "Toorak Tractor" means.

Haha, well, I recall an anecdote of a dealer contacting the factory about a Guzzi running badly at 3200 rpm. The factory replied that they were aware of the issue and would email the solution. The solution? "Do not ride the motorcycle at 3200 rpm. "

I want to get onto that as well. Maybe I'll get around to it one day... In the mean time... My V11 Le Mans has the hiccough, and I haven't been able to do the "decent tune-up" yet, so it is still there. The Le Mans is a 2002 Model. My Breva 750 IE is a 2005 Model. It has (apparently) the same problem. I must admit, I messed up the "decent tune-up" on the Breva a bit. I messed around with both of the bypass screws, and one should only mess around with one, as I learned afterwards. Anyway, disregarding that for a minute: since it has got cooler here (autumn...), the Breva runs extremely badly in exactly that 2.800 - 3.100 r.p.m. range. I reckon it's probably a conspiracy. Luigi doesn't like cold weather (understandably...), and consequently didn't spend enough time setting up the motor for cooler conditions. Or something like that ...
