I'm writing about the rebuild in my "Racing Rhino" blog www.racingrhino.wordpress.com
V11 Sport Scura in Ocotillo, CA with some extra darkening and a few bolt-on mods (mirrors, fluid tanks, CF belly pan and inner fender).
Back in June I posted pics of my 2 Guzzis - An 850 engined S3 and a V7Sport underging a rebuild. Sadly, in September, the S3 was badly damaged in an accident when a car left a lay-by to do a U-turn as I was passing! It ended up like thisApart from the obvious, the frame and headstock were badly bent. I didn't have any interest in rebuilding it so sold it back to the person I bought it from several years back. He is having the frame straightened and intends to restore it.In October I bought a 1971 V7 700 which was imported from Italy a year ago. It's a military/police style bike and I'm not sure of its government history - possibly the "Vigili del Fuoco" (fire brigade) who apparently used V7s and Nuovo Falcones as radio bikes.It runs well but I haven't been able to ride it yet although my broken wrist is nearly good enough. New helmet and leathers are ready!
Sorry about the frankenbike , but the red loop is beautiful :) Dusty
I sold the 850 engined S3 along with all the 750 engine parts I had from it's original engine. The new owner's intention is to restore it to original. He already has an S3 plus a number of other Guzzis. He has now had the frame straightened, a new steering stem made (the old one was very bent) and had the lower fork yoke straightened as well. It will live again but will take time and money.I've had to do some minor jobs on the red V7 loop but it's being used. I'll still have to change a few things as my damaged wrist/hand can't cope with some of the controls. Last weekend it was joined by 3 others at the Moto Guzzi Club GB Clocks Forward Rally. It's unusual to get so many together here in the UK.
Show me your Guzzi - Not Safe for Dial UpDoes anybody use dial up any more?
Hi all,Just joined Wildgoose & want to participate in this thread. My dad was the original owner.This is the Ducati fairing it wears when it doesn't want to be "naked"I'm planing to get this bike running again and who knows what after that. I rode this bike only once (about 30 years ago) and wasn't comfortable with the right hand shifting in Los Angeles traffic. It didn't bother my dad at all as he was a demon in the Santa Barbara sweeping canyons! It has been stored in the garage since 1993.
