General Discussion / Re: Ever-shrinking list of Guzzi rallies

"I've learned to bring soft earplugs for the night time when some folks like to stay up way late, or put the tent far away from the center of the action.  What's even funnier are the old folks who wake up at 5 am for their first cup of coffee in the common area and forget that others of us like to sleep to 7, and they're yakking away at full volume...either they don't care or don't realize they are annoying others."

A lot of this can be attributed to the fact that many have lost a good chunk of their hearing. Those that have often find that as soon as there is any background noise like another conversation, it becomes much harder to pick out what the other person is saying to you, so volume goes up.

I don't do SocialMedia or smart phone junk but wasn't that the same name you used before? Keep going Bob & you will succeed.

What you need is same amount of spokes on the same angle. Being a CalVin they go to center of rim so maybe if spoke count is same.

General Discussion / loop frame borrani rims with late model cali front hub?

« Last post by lazlokovacs on Today at 04:03:37 AM »

Hi everyone, rebuilding my loop at the moment,

bike has a custom front end with a cali vintage front wheel and brakes, which has worked very well

just wondering if it's at all feasible to swap the cali vintage rim for the original borriani rim, keeping the cali front hub? Imagine I'd need new spokes, but would they line up??

2 reasons, I would like it to match the rear, the borrianis are just beautiful, and I've never been too happy having a wider rim at the front than the rear and I have time and patience.

Ok that was 4

Anyone BTDT???

The newer ,post 1980 ,Harleys don’t shake.

You just gotta look at the engine to see the shake since it's rubber isolated from the rest of the bike :)

The writing's on the wall.  You should just give up on doing these traveling lunch things, there's obviously no interest from other Guzzi riders in attending them.  You'd be doing yourself a favor, and keeping that blood pressure from spiking.

You are 100% correct!

EXAMPLE:  myself and one other Guzzi rider showed up for the monthly traveling Moto Guzzi lunch in Cherokee North Carolina today!  One!!!!  That’s PATHETIC!  The other rider made the comment.  BMW Riders and Gold Wingvriders ride their bikes and attend functions.  Guzzi riders like to look at their bikes in the garage!  Boy….im starting to get a bad attitude!!!

I found them on Amazon complete bolts/nylocks and plastic washers shaped for the bolts to fit flush inside.
