Finally got a Scura

[Chronic]

I used to post here a bit awhile ago. Got a new job with stricter I.T. folks and quit doing any forums for awhile. Then something bad happened..... a 50 mph get-off due to a classic downhill high-side and, though I survived, my dear Ballabio did not

 

After the pains subsided (cracked ribs, sprained neck, two day headache) i went a different direction and replaced my Guzz with an '07 Triumph Sprint ST.....which I absolutely LOVE . But, I ...MISSED...MY...GUZZI . The triples really are sweet and even soulful in a way. But, I think, only the big Guzzi twin has that truely rorty, thumping, almost elemental feel that is so addicting and lusty

 

So, six months without was enough. I dropped the word on RACER X and within a day or two he turned me on to a dude in San Diego ( drknow ) selling one of the most well sorted and cared for Scuras out there.

 

BEHOLD....

Bubbling paint engine case recall done, shifter spring issue resolved, Ohlins forks resprung ( also gave me a Super Sport valving upgrade kit from GP Suspension for later), and just two weeks ago had a specially lightened, steel flywheel installed. GOOD-TO-GO

 

Damn, this thing feels good, looks good.....Hell, it's all good.

 

Look forward to participating here again.

 

Cheers,

welcome back to the fold, just dont get too carried away with the Dark side.....

Cheers

Glad to hear the head injury wore off and you came back to your senses (Just kidding, I'd love to have an Triumph ST someday)

I'd like to hear your before and after impressions of the Ohlins SuperBike innards, when you get around to it.
