Cali owners a day's drive from Asheville?

[Mwether]

It strikes me as slightly bats to fly halfway across the country to purchase a bike I've never seen in real life, let alone sat on.

Does someone have a 1998-2012 California near Western NC that I could come take a close look at?

Feel free to PM, if you'd rather not reply here.

I won't show up empty handed!

I'm in Illinois, so no help there.  But I predict that within 2 or 3 weeks after doing you fly and ride there will be an all around better Guzzi deal that will pop up within a couple hours of your house.

from the Principia Rota Potentiatus.  aka 'Swanson's rule'

Come on over, I'm a few hrs away, NE of ATL 45mi so none of that traffic. I got a Blue one.

Dave, why do you think I've been shopping for five years?! 
Or maybe there's no time limit on Swanson's Rule...?

If his rule works like my luck, you have to actually buy something else far away before that local deal can become reality..

I'm afraid that's probably how it works!!

Like I always told people buying computers; "Hurry up and buy it now before the price goes down."

1. Steve is the man!
2. Thanks to him, here is my runty self on a '98 EV. Feet down, feet up. Fits like a glove.
3. I have some people to call...

Non red dot 98, with the soft shocks unlike red dots had too stiff shocks. Fit Jeff perfect. He needs a Hydro, change oil & go. Not much for maintenance.


He needs your old bike-----------------------------

I had that bikes brother. Blue ‘98. I checked the valves at 1k miles and they were in spec. Checked them at 5k intervals and they were still in spec. No need to disregard the non hydro bikes. Its a 15 minute task. Simple maintenance is another reason to buy Guzzis.
