Hi All!
Again, you guys impress me with the level of help to a fellow Guzzi
rider.
I will go through all the parts contacts, links and suggestions for
trying to re-solder that piece and see what happens.
I'm enjoying my new Eldo everyday (my poor BMW R100 is sadly getting
dusty...and the only action it sees now-a-days is from the battery
maintainer). I met another Eldo owner here in San Francisco last night
at a neighborhood bar. I had the Guzzi parked out front and this guy
went through the whole bar looking for guys with helmets on their table
or under their stool. He said that he passed up asking a bunch of yuppie
looking guys wearing new Vanson leather jackets and multi-colored Arai
helmets because they definetly weren't the type to appreciate owning a
Guzzi. Seems he has a '73 Eldo that he's looking to replace the engine
for. I mentioned this list so maybe we'll be seeing Dennis' name soon.
Nicest guy you could meet....but then again, that goes without saying
since he's a Guzzi owner.
And lastly, friend of mine who used to own a Ambo years ago and now has
a Moto Guzzi 850...has gotten himself a 73 Eldo. Since I've been talking
everyone's ears off for weeks about the Eldo, maybe he got the itch : -
) He saw the ad on Cycle Trader online (the ad had just been posted
with the print version of the magazine due out this morning), called the
guy and said, "Don't sell that bike...I'm on my way to pick it UP!"
Luckily, it was only 45 minutes away...and the cost...a nice $2200 bucks
in great unrestored condition. Looks like we're forming our own San
Francisco Eldorado Club.
Thanks again all!
