 :bow BRAVISSIMO!!!! :bow  You realize now after this project and the others you have done, you are not allowed to leave WG or this earth.  Keep the projects coming!!! ;-T ;-T  Your skills are as impressive as they are awe inspiring.  Next rally Chuck, drinks are on me.  Cigars too.  ( I won't tell Dorcia) ;)

Fantastic Chuck!  Here's to waiting two months before your first ride.  :BEER:
This is going to be the two longest months of winter. Maybe you just have to take it apart and put it back together to pass the time.
Congrats.

<maniacal laugh> BWHAAAA.. IT'S ALIVE..  ;D
Toasted Luigi, punched the button, and it started as soon as it rolled over.  ;-T Intellectually, I *knew* it would.. all the parts are in it, <shrug> timing is spot on, new carbs, etc. but it still was a thrill. Just ran it a bit at 2000 rpm for the cam/lifter break in.. sounds bitchin.  ;D :BEER:
Unkept said he'd try to get a teaser video uploaded yet today. It'll take a while to edit the real video. For all that have hung in there, offered advice, kept me out of trouble, etc. thanks. Hope you've enjoyed the "long strange trip", too.  ;D

That's a beautiful motorcycle, Chuck, and I'll bet it runs as good as it looks.  What's your guess as to HP?  I searched the thread and found something like 33% more than stock, but I'm not sure if that's current.

my wife and I watched together we're both very, very impressed. She thinks that is a great sounding engine, and so do I.

Chuck,
I will be out there for a month in April, perhaps we can do some riding and you can show me the one corner in Indiana ~;   Just kidding, congrats again, and best wishes to Dorcia!

Fabulous!!!

PaulDaytona's document suggests the aero engine should do 68 hp at 7500 rpm.  Maybe metric hp?

Hey, thanks, guys.. I appreciate it. We've been hanging out with the Kid down in Indy, (don't get to see him often enough) came home, fixed dinner and finally saw the teaser video. Thanks, Joe. Awesome, considering you'd never even seen that camera before.
If you've been entertained.. I'm happy.  ;D If you've learned something, I'm even happier.  ;-T WG has been my main go to source for learning about Guzzis for years. Maybe I've paid it back a little.
There will be more to come as we collectively tune it. I'm sure it is rideable as is, so we will have somewhere to start.  :bike

The imponent cylinders of the Avio engine makes the Lario even more beautiful to see.

Yes.  ;-T I mentioned when I was first looking at it that it really embodied that "engine and two wheels" look that I like in a motorcycle.  ;D

Hey Chuck I'm driving thru your backyard in a few short days.. I guess the question is "Do you have a well-sorted Lario engine for sale?"  :BEER:

You're always welcome to stop in to the 36-18 B&B.  ;D No, the only Lario engine I have needs to be gone through. It's eaten a cam lobe, after all..

That would be great!  The same HP as my "1000cc" Mille in a lighter bike.
