Nice buy, congrats! I was next in line for that bike...but I knew the first looker would take it.
Same story as that 1000S a few weeks back. Damn...buying a Guzzi is hard! :)

I'll let you ride it if you come to the MN Guzzi rally.

thanks Pete, lets see how it goes stateside first.

what shocks do I want.. ? I can't afford Wilbers or other high end things.

I have a second seat base/fender so will be looking to store the original and get something more butt friendly, anyone?

Lots and lots of people use Ikons. They aren't super-dooper cutting edge but they work OK. Front forks will likely need dampers and springs too I'd guess.

Oh, I've got a seat strap rolling around in the back of the van too. Probably a few other bits and bobs of MkI stuff too.

Pete

Now that's a Moto Guzzi! Is that a Buell in the background ?

Welcome to the small world of being a Ulysses and a 850 Lemans owner! So far you and me I guess.

Petrus Rocks · « **Reply #39 on:** March 01, 2015, 09:19:56 AM »

Well I've got the Uly but my Guzzi isn't as cool as a LeMans. That's OK, I'll live vicariously through you two.
Very nice score!

A lot less work then mine when I brought it home! I just love the sound of my BuB"s winding between 4K and 7K on the tach.

Nice LeMans 850!

I'm jealous, there is another thread about the one that got away, my 78 LeMans was mine. I don't know how much I'd ride it now, I don't bend that easily any more. I can't tell how bad the dent in the tank is in the pictures but, "I know a guy" that can fix it. Let me know if you decide to take this bike that far.
