Moto Guzzi Tune-Up Guide for the Shade Tree Mechanic

This excellent guide was published by the Moto Guzzi National Owners' Club (MGNOC) in 1973. Produced by Harry W. Harnden (Original "Tips" column editor for the MGNOC), the text was written by Michael S. Buchanan and the drawings were drawn by Shauna G. Buchanan. Approximately 200 copies were sold - at near cost - for USD $2.50, including postage. Harry gave the profit of approximately USD $35.00 back to the MGNOC.
