Another Nick - Eldorado Video
« on: November 12, 2016, 07:40:11 PM »
This year RealClassic Magazine held a compass challenge. No prizes, no glory - just the fun of finding place names that contain North, South, East or West and visiting to take a picture of a sign with your bike. I found that in Ontario they were few and far between.  I had found Westree in northern Ontario so I got on my 72 Guzzi Eldorado and went for a short spin.

Some of the pictures may be familiar from earlier postings.  Its clunky, but I hope you enjoy it.

The Canadian government needs to pay you lots of money to ride around and shoot videos!  :thumb:

Thanks Twowings - I'd certainly be up for that  :boozing:, although I expect I'd soon be superseded by someone with real editing talent   :sad: .

Another  great job, Nick.  Very pleasing and entertaining to watch!  Thanks.

1700 miles in 3 days on a vintage bike is a serious ride.

Really nice thanks Nick.

Does your Eldo always idle at 3000rpm or is the rev counter stuck?

The rev counter is erratic. It's currently stuck at 4200.  The speedo isn't much better. It should read in mph, but for some reason it has gone all modern and now prefers to tell me I'm traveling at 100, when I know I'm riding at 60.  I pay no attention to either.
