84 Cali II Convert Saturday fun
« on: May 12, 2019, 07:37:45 PM »
Went down to see my friend Chad Francis woner of Retro Wrench, our local vintage bike shop and a very cool place to hang out. See next season's Ride with Reddis on TV as they were just by for a visit!! 

Anyway, the convert was running a little rich so Chad glady jumped in and put his touch and tune on it, felt like a new bike when I left running like a top.  Chad has a couple of cool old Eldo's one with a side car.  If you're ever in Louisville you need to stop by and check out this cool and unique shop, and Chad is a first class guy!

Also got about three hours of riding in as well, love this old tractor!

Those Cal2 Converts are one of the best all around mile eater there is. Looks like you have a nice one.  Great shop pic too.!

Your bike looks just like mine did when I first got it.I have modded mine quite a bit over the years. The Cal II automatic is an awesome mile muncher, and one of the" easiest " riding Guzzis I have ever ridden. :thumb:

You're missing the right-side rear turn signal reflector, just like mine!

Love your nice clean bike, mine shows some wear, but also a lot of love, I have un-bolted every bolt except for the engine low-end and tranny.

I've ridden long distances only on a Gold Wing, Eldo, LMIV, and my Cal 2 Auto. Cal 2 Auto is the best, very lazy and smooth......
