Hi Andy,
The RS was stashed in brother's garage until last week, it's now in my shop.
Bro' sold his house and will be moving to Oregon (most likely) in the
spring. This means I'll have the entire shop to myself. I'll miss him, but
the extra room will be nice. The BMW has 102k on it and looks every mile.
The plan is to do a complete cosmetic restoration and freshen up the
drivetrain where needed. It was owned by a factory trained VW/Porsche/Audi
mechanic so it runs pretty well - it just looks like death warmed over. I'm
not sure if it will remain a permanent part of my stable once completed,
have to wait and see.
Cheers,
Charlie

Looked on Topica last night, but failed to find it. |
| they move somewhere else? I'm not getting rid of anything to get this LeMans, just doing some |
| financing. It will fill the empty Sportbike spot in my garage. I nearly bought a '78 Lemans as my first Guzzi ever, but was only 19 and |
| unable to swing it. I guess I'm trying to go back and get the one the got away (sort of). So in 2002 it looks like it will be: '69 Ambo for Classic/Touring, '77 R100RS for Sport-touring, '78 LeMans 1 for my Sportbike, and the '87 Cagiva 350 Ala Rossa for Dual-Sport riding. Kinda weird working on a Tonti framed bike after the Ambos and Eldos. The LeMans is quite modified, some of it nicely done, some of it not. It's |
| converted to a monoshock rear suspension and has Marzocchi internals in |
| front fork (so I've been told). I'm not sure if it will stay monoshock, |
| shock is an air-spring unit and is very difficult to keep at the correct pressure. I may just go back to good quality dual shocks. It will |
| need to be rewired as there is no keyed ignition switch, just two toggle switches (one of which is hidden and looks like an arming switch for some sort of missile) and the wire is all red. The headlight works on one beam only and the taillight not all. There's no signals (which I'll need to |
| inspection) and it still has the original (cheesy) switches. It does have |
| Dyna III ignition, but the coils look like ones for a Chevy. In short, there's a lot of sorting to do if it's going to be reliable and safe, but I'm looking forward to the challenge.
