Hi Chris,
I"ve been riding since I was 8. I'm now 47, and just bought a =
1970 Guzzi Ambassador. It hasn't run in 20 years, I think someone =
dropped it and walked away. The speedo reads 7,000. I got it to fire, =
but the seals in the carbs are gone. I love that damn motorcycle, even =
though it is taking up space in my barn as I am restoring it. What in =
the hell is it with the Guzzi. Some type of attraction. Some nights, I =
just sit, have a beer and stare at it. Ok, and you?
