My girlfriend shot a video riding with me further north on 129 while riding deals gap. I was chasing a few friends and the sound is pretty fair. I want to post it on youtube or something, and put a link here so everyone can see it. She did a pretty good job considering the moving around going on in all those curves!

I don't know what it is, but something about an emerald green, cafe-style Guzzi drives me stark drooling bonkers.  Sell the wife, kids, etc. etc.

Good grief, Chuck!
I love it too and that thing is C-L-E-A-N!!!
Please go ride it through some puddles or something so that the world knows that it is a rider not a museum piece.

Chuck that T-3 is awesome.  I'd love to check it out in person.  I'm in Algonquin.  Here's a picture of my 2004 Stone project taken this spring.  Paint is coming soon.  HOSS

If the weather cooperates, I plan to ride it to the DeKalb breakfast this Saturday.  If not, I'll ride the EV instead.

And you can always come up and take a peek; or we could meet for a cuppa.

OK CAG. Chances of meeting up this year are fading fast. There is a MEME breakfast ride this Sunday to the Augusta area for breakfast. Not sure I'll do it but the temp and weather shouldn't be too bad.
I'll know by Friday.

Well I'll  be a sob.  It is kinda easy to post a picture once you finalilly figure it out.  Well any way this is my T3 cafe hotrod.  I'll try to get some additional pictures into photo bucket and post them along with pictures of the current T3 project.

Wow. That's a very nice custom. There's a story there that I'd like to hear.
What sizes of tires are those?

Hi guys

I've been lurking here for a while, but this thread has prompted me to show you my Le Mans.  It's the first guzzi I've ever owned or ridden, so it's all new to me.  It's replaced a Ducati 888SP which I owned for five years, so it feels a bit strange at the moment.  All the same, I'm liking its lazy manner and the rhythmic beat from its exhaust.  It's had a full ground-up restoration.

Steve


ps.  Apologies for the missing photos.  Imageshack having problems??

They're only lazy if you don't flog them.  Shift at 5K or 6K.  The nature of the bike changes. ;D
