Loop help please

I had a Candycane Eldo and an Ambo in bobber trim. Sadly, both gone now as part of the downsizing.

Lots of inspiration here.
One thing that I know about myself is that as long as the bike works, cosmetics don't matter much to me. The cosmetics here are adequate, but won't make me crazy if it ends up on its side in a parking lot.
Having the opportunity to pick one up that has many of the upgrades that I've only read about, so close to home, is what finally clinched it for me.
On the loop forum I saw an Ambassador for sale - one owner - for $5K. But it is in MA, has higher mileage, has been sitting, blah, blah...I am OK with the price vs. some of the trade-offs.
I'll pick it up this a.m. and will ride it. It is unlikely that it will join my Museum of False Enthusiasms.
That said, if there are any members in the Madison area who would feel like giving me a tour of the bike and impart some knowledge, it would accepted enthusiastically.
I'll report back on successes and failures.

I assume Madison, WI?  I am in Rockford, IL. 

Adding your general location to your profile always helps others figure out where you are in general.

We are practically neighbors.

I ought to add it.  It's the little things that often trip me up.

I am located just south of Madison and as a member of the Wisconsin Moto Guzzi Riders I would be happy to offer advice, assistance, or an opinion.

WMGR Rally is in Wonewoc WI on Aug 5-7, 2022.

The M-Unit is a replacement for a fuse block.  They can control a lot of electrical routing functions...but basically they are a fancy fuse block so you'll never have to replace fuses.
You can download the manual for them, and there are some youtube videos on bike builds with them (of course).

Make Her roadworthy and then proceed to ride the tits off of it, they thrive on use. I use all of mine that way. 4500 - 5000 RPM for hours on end across the Prairies.    DonG

I was close to selling mine, and then I took her for a ride. Loops are pretty sweet. You did good at $5,900.00

I took her for a spin today. I resolved the clutch problem easily with a cable adjustment. It wasn't really grabbing as much as surprising me with the quick engagement. It's the bees knees. And an attention getter.

Yep!
