Pushed out the Aero Lario and was getting suited up to go use up the last of the rear tire. That's two for the Aero engine.

It just struck me. Dang! That's a good looking Sport touring bike.

Yes it is. Needs some BLACK gators though.

My friend Chuck completes his conversion of a Moto Guzzi Lario 4v 650 into a Moto Guzzi Lario 2v 750 Hemi / Aero. The engine came from a drone that ran two Moto Guzzi 750 engines.

That's fabulous.

Would love to see Guzzi do this on the V9 platform.

Thanks, Seth.

I was hoping the long rumored new Le Mans would be a V9.. not that there it anything wrong with the Roamer and Bobber.. but I was bitterly disappointed at the time. I would have pried open my wallet for one.

I'm over it, though, and love the Aero Lario, warts and all. It's a keeper.

Thats beautiful, Chuck! The bags look great on that bike. Congratulations on the completion of such a sweet project.

I kinda dig the red gaiters!

The bags look great. Makes it a much more versatile machine.

Geez Chuck, what's next, a trailer hitch?

Is that coming to OR?

No, I'm bringing the carnivorous insect MZ. Then, we'll continue to the coast, and ride down to Redondo Beach, (always have wanted to do that) leave it there, and bring the Mighty Scura back to Indiana. I don't get to play with the Scura enough, and have always felt guilty letting it sit, rust, and corrode. The Skorpion is a *great* handling bike, and will be fine in the canyons. And.... I don't care about it.

I thought maybe you would change your mind over last year. Bummer. :-0

Nope, when I saw that MZ in a pile..cheap..not running, apart, ran when parked etc.

I thought, "Perfect. I've read of their handling prowess although I've never seen one. It'll be fine in California." It will be.

The Skorpion has got to be a great ride in the Malibu Hills.

That really *is* a nice compliment, but sadly.. there's no place to pee in the Guzzi Garage. (tm)

Chuck,

Nice bike!!

What size are those bags? Do they mount the same way as my larger bags? I was thinking about something a little thinner than what's on my EVT.

Thanks,
Tom

Thanks! They're the 30 liter bags, interchangeable with your 40s, as far as I know.

Tom · « **Reply #25 on:** May 15, 2016, 04:59:33 PM »

The 40's use the same mounts as the 30's. Even though their theft proof to most people. They can still be yanked off the mounts with some effort. Best to remove the bags if on the bike overnight in a sketchy area.

Tom H · « **Reply #26 on:** May 15, 2016, 05:40:55 PM »

30Ltr, might have to look for a set of those. The 40's feel like I'm going to whack a car every time I have to work my may through traffic.

Thanks!
Tom

I wonder how they managed to NOT put that engine in a production motorbike! It looks so right!
Very nice Chuck.

Thanks. From the very first time I rode it I thought the same. When the Kid took it out the first time, he came back and said, "Guzzi screwed up, didn't they?"

Beautiful sport tourer....if the new v9 would have been this,it would be in my garage.Did you ever get this on the dyno? I know in the other thread you were talking to a local guy,and just wondered if it ever happened?
