A tappy engine is a happy engine...

Adjusting the valves on my friend Kevin's '75 850-T yesterday. :wink:

...and yes that is the RAFFLE BIKE from the 2018 Datil, New Mexico State Guzzi Rally, which Kevin won last August! :thumb: :cool: :smiley:  He plans on riding it there this year! :smiley:  It is one way cool vintage Guzzi! :cool:

Cool looking bike, looks like it's fresh off the showroom floor.

It's not perfect, but it was rebuilt to 1000cc, and has dual disc brakes, and is generally in good shape! :thumb:

He got rid of the dreaded "Diaper-Bucket-Seat" and added some bar-end mirrors, and we are sorting out all the little mechanical / electrical things to make it more road-worthy. 

Here is a photo of Kevin the day he won the bike last August 2018. :thumb: :cool:
