All Cleaned up, so have to take pics right?
« on: August 16, 2021, 12:07:03 PM »
Took her apart and deep cleaned best I could, then took first good long ride on it.  Now I'm a loop fan boy!  Love this thing, so that required bringing out the camera my other passion.

Hope you enjoy!

   Very nice!
 And every Guzzi needs to have an attack cat nearby, although all of mine just use my tires to sharpen their claws on, no flats yet, though., at least from that.

A mighty fine looking loop! That composition with the long lens bringing the skyscrapers much closer is very nice. The black and grey of the skyscrapers makes an almost abstract background for the black and chrome of the bike.

I thought my '04 Breva was a great looking Guzzi until I saw your Eldo.  Now I regard my Breva as a good looking bike.  Great looking applies to Loops like yours.

Thank you all so much for the Kind words, most of you know this was a friend of mine's bike, he passed away and I was lucky enough to rescue it from the estate, and so it make it much more special even have a special sticker to acknowledge him on the bike.

Thanks for the photo comments as well I have been into Photography since i was young (so was my Dad), but all of these were shot with a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, the technology of these camera phones has gotten so good I rarely even pull the SLR camera's out of the bags anymore, they truly are amazing,

Again thanks for the kinds words and the outlet for posting some pics from time to time. 

Big Thanks to Henk de Vries, for the art work there are 3-4 of us that ended up with Bikes from Kenny's collection so we have shirts and sticker now to Commenerate and remember my Guzzi brother, he was great guy and so glad I ended up with his favorite!
