Hi Kevin,
John's bike was indeed an Ambo, albeit an early one. I bet if you
check the
serial number it starts with an "A" followed by a "12xxx" number.
Both Ian
Adkins and I have these bikes as do others on the list. Basically,
they're
just V700s with 54cc more displacement and different paintwork. Not
as
powerful as the second series Ambo, but they work well in the real
world and
to me are more desirable due to their relative rarity. If you see
John again,
write down the serial number, I'd like to see how it falls compared
to Ian's
and mine. Cheers,
Charlie
'69 Ambo
(2) '71 Ambo projects

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