I always liked this story from Moto Guzzi Classics - - "The TRASHER"

Yup, cool stuff from Mark.

I liked the Temecula also...

Another classic... :1:

Oh and...here's what happens when you leave your bike at the shop more than a week after your service has been completed

Must have missed that one...here is..."The Tetanus"  :1:

I better watch where I park my Stelvio in Long Beach!!

IIRC Tetanus ran too.  I'd spray clear over Tetanus and Thrasher and call it a day.

Then there's the man, the myth, the legend...

Then there is this one.  2 bikes in one.

Mark in his meticulous shop, no doubt telling someone on the phone how to fix their Guzzi for free..

 I saw the Tetanus when he or someone? rode it to a Ramona, Ca. campout.     Story was he found it discarded and literally a bush had grown around it over the years of neglect and yet it took little to get it running.     When it ran it was quiet too.  :1:

Those are two rare photos of Mark not wearing his sunglasses.

Jj, you have your bikes confused.
The "Thrasher" was built by EP&F in prescott.
Marks bike is named the "Trasher" for where it came from.

Hi Turin! 

Yes, you are correct! (Thanks!) (Getting old is not for the faint of heart!) - LOL -  CORRECTED now! 

Here is Jim Knaup's "THRASHER" - http://www.epfguzzi.com/models/t2.html

What ever happened to that bike?  I think he still has it in his shop in Prescott.

I rode the Tetnus! Also saw the Trasher.  Mark said a garbage truck driver loaded it into the back of his garbage truck after seeing a couple of tweekers with it. He brought by MGC and Mark bought it off him.

Hey! I was there about a year ago. Stopped by his shop to pick up some stuff for the basket case T3. I must have waited 45 minutes to talk with him while he helped a customer then loaded his bike into the pickup. Then he was on the phone with someone else, and...

A no BS kind of guy, down to earth and gives you his full attention when dealing with you.

He has racks and racks of parts out back, and projects on the lifts... an interesting place for sure! 

[JJ]

Next time I motor into Prescott, I will stop and ask ol' Jim what ever happened to..."The Thrasher!!" (?)    I think it is still in his shop collecting dust (?), but will file a full report.

Ahh, I think the T was found in Temecula, sorry, close, no cigar...

That bike belonged to John  Lloyd aka The Guzzi Reverend. He crashed and died in Death Valley on the way to the National  in Grass Valley.

His son let Mark do his thing with it. A very nice job but not perfect. I rode it in Ramona one time. Still needed turn signals but who would notice😀
