Hi Paul,
I don't usually, just got lucky lately. My bro' found the V7 Sport in CA for me when he was delivering an Audi 5 cylinder diesel to a guy. Turns out the guys has bikes he wanting to sell. The Stornello was just me running my mouth (something I'm quite good at) about Guzzis and having someone nearby hear me that had one to sell. Like they told me in a job search seminar once - network, network, network. In other words, if people know you're into a particular thing, when they run across that thing they'll think of you. Cheers,
Charlie

Keep me in mind for the rear drive - the only good one I have has 8/37 gears (probably from a V700) not the 8/35 Ambos used. The pinion gears on the other four rears have big pits on the teeth or have missing teeth. Not good. My V7 Sport/Ambo/Ambo purchase evolved into a V7 Sport/'73 BMW R75/5 deal. The owner couldn't bear to part with the Ambos and the only way he'd sell the V7 Sport was if we took the BMW with it. The BMW is in need of TLC, but has a set of Wixom bags, a larger than stock tank and some sort of weird fairing. Still $2000 for both is a steal and I hope to recover some of that by selling the BMW. Anyone interested? We won't need facilities to store a bike after all then - last I heard from my brother he was in Oklahoma and hoped to be home here in MD by Tuesday after visiting friends in the Asheville area. I can't wait - it's like Christmas Eve when I was a kid! Cheers, Charlie Arizona Kid <tsh-@devry-phx.edu> wrote:
