SOLD

Bravissimo!!! Congratulations! I've enjoyed following your sleuthing that's got you back on the road! and have been reading other threads also. My '02 is finally enroute via Haulbikes.com, in OK City, due to arrive this coming Monday!

Thank you so much!

Did some of the 2002 models have aluminum flywheels or did all 2002 models have aluminum flywheels?

@gstallons what are the pn's? much appreciated!

Thanks, guzzler!

Thanks for the welcome! I've always done my own mechanical work on bikes i own and love ground up restoration work on different bikes spanning 10 decades.

Hello All ! Thank you for allowing my membership to this fine forum. This is Steve Swan of Fort Collins, Colorado. Earlier this week, i purchased this 2002 Le Mans off ebay which i am hoping to have in my garage/shop by/before the end of August. It's possible some of you may recognize the bike...? Through sheer will, a move into my new-to-me home March past, and tired of spending, my ebay activity had pretty much came to a standstill. Last week, i happened to be on ebay and Carlo Guzzi only knows what prompted me to type in "Moto Guzzi" and up pops this Le Mans and i go, "Hmmm..." and then i see all the goodies that come with it and i'm pretty sure i recognized the ebay name of the seller in my Wild Guzzi travels. So, seller and i connect and i am the new owner. i feel like i got the deal of a lifetime! Now mind you, i need to sell my 2018 T120, no interest yet... But, hey! I am the happy owner of another V11! i say another V11 because for several years i owned a delicious low mile Greenie that i sold around 4-5 years ago. At the time becoming motorcycle poor (i still have 12 bikes, yes, i have an illness, my red blood cells are shaped like M's) and the Greenie sitting more than being ridden, i sold it. Had an '09 CalVin i bought new, putting miles on it and at the time thinking it would be nice to have a Lemans instead of the CalVin but soon realized finding the luggage i wanted for (at that time) a more than 15 year old bike would be difficult. So, the Greenie went away. Back to last week, before i found this Le Mans, i have been a T120 owner for a year, having sold my CalVin July, 2023 and even though i never had a truly deep connection with the CalVin, i missed it because we'd had a lot of great memories together. So, here we are now, i am so happy and looking forward to having a V11 again that's a Le Mans and with all the goodies that come with it! I'm looking forward to becoming familiar with the forum and getting to know fellow members! Would love to hear from any nearby members in my area!
