Interesting Loop Cafe
« on: January 28, 2017, 11:17:42 AM »


I stopped by the Portland Moto Guzzi shop and they had this Loop cafe in the shop. Apparently it was picked up from an estate sale. The seat cover could use some love. Maybe a front fender.

It'd also be a little loud w/o any silencers.

And it seems to me it was pretty expensive when it was listed.  It could look good with a decent seat and tail.

It looks better in the photo than in person.

Seems like a half assed effort at best. Too bad because a loop café can look really cool.

Looks like a project which fizzled-out early. Some nice aspects though.
