Zoom Zoom Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 There is a recent thread over on the Wild Guzzi board concerning service from "The Motor Company's" dealers. It would seem that looks can be decieving. Simply because there is a dealer every 10 feet down the interstate does not mean they can/will service your bike in a pinch. It took my buddy Pat over 4 months to get his late model Road King repaired after an accident, so I guess the parts agguement gets blown right out of the water on that one, huh! In any case, I find much to like about my LeMans and my Cali EV. They compliment each other very well. I have drouled over a new Norge, but I refuse to part with either bike in order to obtain one. I will eventually add a Norge or B1100 to the heard though. There are several bikes I would not mind having, other than Guzzi, but I can't get rid of the Guzzi's to do it. The sound of the LeMans with the M4's is simply fantastic. Pure music to the ears. If you like the HD, keep it! Find another Guzzi to your liking and don't worry about the dealers. I bought my EV new in '01. I have to date put 78,000 miles+ on it. The only time I stopped at a dealer while traveling was to visit. My HD buddies have needed their dealers several times while on trips. Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking them. This is simple first hand fact, nothing more. Zoom Zoom, John Henry
Van Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 (sung to the tune, "Don't cry for me Argentina" Don't cry to me ....Fernando you shouldn't sold the Tenni, but you had.... Fernando...... (Gawd, that was so bad l'm even embarresed ) it's ok Fernando, at least your Tenni is gone from you, it's found a loving and understanding owner ,and the bonus is that its still close to you!! And from everything we seem to read on this site, there will be another Guzzi in your future Cheers Van
