I'm BAACK in the Guzzi world !

[fotoguzzi]

Nice buy, congrats!  I was next in line for that bike...but I knew the first looker would take it.
Same story as that 1000S a few weeks back.  Damn...buying a Guzzi is hard!  :)  

I'll let you ride it if you come to the MN Guzzi rally.

thanks Pete, lets see how it goes stateside first.

what shocks do I want.. ? I can't afford Wilbers or other high end things.

I have a second seat base/fender so will be looking to store the original and get something more butt friendly, anyone?

Lots and lots of people use Ikons. They aren't super-dooper cutting edge but they work OK. Front forks will likely need dampers and springs too I'd guess.

Oh, I've got a seat strap rolling around in the back of the van too. Probably a few other bits and bobs of MkI stuff too.

 Welcome to the small world of being a Ulysses and a 850 Lemans owner! So far you and me I guess.

[Petrus Rocks]

Well I've got the Uly but my Guzzi isn't as cool as a LeMans.  That's OK, I'll live vicariously through you two.
Very nice score!

[steven c]

A lot less work then mine when I brought it home! I just love the sound of my BuB"s winding between 4K and 7K on the tach.

[Steph]

Nice LeMans 850!

;-T

[JoeW]

I'm jealous, there is another thread about the one that got away, my 78 LeMans was mine. I don't know how much I'd ride it now, I don't bend that easily any more. I can't tell how bad the dent in the tank is in the pictures but, "I know a guy" that can fix it. Let me know if you decide to take this bike that far.

Congrats........... ..luck happens when preparation meets opportunity.   ;-T
