Moto Guzzi 850/1000 wanted

[rbt1548]

I had a 1000S up to two years ago, I had it for a number of years, it was a bit of a beast to manoeuvre, but you knew you were riding a motorbike, it came as a heap, stripped it down and re did it.

I guy I know has a bike collection, he has bought a few bikes from me before, and he offered me daft money for it, and well, everything has it's price and it allowed me to get other stuff, regrets?, not really, would be nice to still have it but things move one and it's good to have a bit of variety.

There's a wee video of it on youtube on the day it was being picked up by it's new owner.

Good luck with the Guzzi, I've had 4, dead easy to work on , just remember if you are working on the electrics to tie a knot at one end of the wire to stop the smoke escaping!

Thanks, my £75 burned out Le Mans 1 came out great too, not a lot of it was found lying in a scrap yard. It is believed, as Crust said, to have spat back through it's carbs and set the bike on fire, which is/was a common problem with the Le Mans open bell mouthed carbs.

Unfortunately years ago with one wage, a mortgage, wife and two children and an unexpected large bill, I sold it, that is the way of things unfortunately and it's happened to many of us.
