macguzzi

thats bad cause I've just been worrying about my spring must be due to snap

Just ask others on this site what Mivv xcones sound like, the overrun is wow

Lots of exhuast threads if you use the search, you can also add yourself to the scura register. checkout flickr there are pictures of my own scura

They should have done this 25 years ago but that's Guzzi. The last effort the 1000s nearly got there but not quite, there is no reason they couldnt do it with a V11 spine apart from effort!

My favourite hooch is no longer available Alfred Lambs Special Reserve Rum, more like a fine Brandy oh why did they stop. Me and the guzzi were past a lot of famous distilleries last week but no time to stop. Recently craked open a bottle of Jack Daniels silver select single barrel it was as rough as old boots!

The Aultguish Inn has been taken over and is being done up!

That is looking sweet, those wheels are great

So you didnt have a slide on that bit of road again sorry I could not make it but was up in Kinlochbervie, you must try the road up there Tain to Kinlochbervie is a stunner

Assemble bits made elsewhere

Ahh only another 643 to go

That wiil teach you to buy a mac!

Those pic's are posted on my flickr page, well some of them

Well we did invent the bicycle, I have watched this guy in the street he is amazing

Question Pete what about removing con rod caps? to look at big end wear

Are you sure it's not a Griso Le Mon!

Don't be daft when am I ever serious, unless I'm in love, saw too many Brutale's in Italy wow it's nice

Yes as new MD and owner of Guzzi I'll come ( I bought it for a euro )

What really pisses me off is I fancied one, put the battery in the Scura today started first hit

People in Mandello are very worried about the factory closing, most of the buildings are empty and there is not a very large workshop. Locals are also worried about the knock on effect on other business in Mandello supplying parts to Guzzi. The Raduno seems to be cancelled for good due to the costs for Moto Guzzi, Club Mandello are having their own International rally this year but not in Mandello. The Aprilia V4 seems to have upset locals as money is being spent developing Aprilia but nothing on Guzzi. What makes me laugh about Piaggio is that most scooters on the road in Italy are made in Japan! Not that Piaggio's are made in Italy. If you want to see more photos of the museum look on this link I have not had time to upload them all yet http://www.flickr.com/photos/17839437@N00/?saved=1

Iliked the product that much I bought the company, oh no that was razor blades http://www.flickr.com/photos/17839437@N00/3480561712/

I've been reading through these posts on this subject it strikes me that with very little effort you could drop the sump and remove the conrod caps to check for wear. Looking at the damage to your top end lack of oil looks likley BMW had this same problem when they went 8 valve. I was talking to people in the club in mandello last week they are all very aware of the problem and worried this will cost Guzzi it's already tarnished reputation. All the test bikes leaving the factory were Stelvios and they were screwing the nuts off them I also noticed lots of 8v in bits in the workshop. I also notice that Agostini did not have one 8v for sale or in the shop. What really surprised me was the club members I met saw no reason for the Aprillia to be badged Guzzi, they have done this with Gilera in this years moto gp it's an aprillia 125 ,but Gilera are 100 years old this year thats the excuse

High pressure water jet will also remove, old fashioned paint stripper works a treat just be careful

Spotted the NEW stelvio on lake Lecco bit of a boat this one
