While fogging...er, breaking-in my recently completed Ambo. I've
noticed the universal boot sucks itself in overnite and then releases
back to normal after riding for a while. Do I need to look into venting
the swingarm?

Damm these loops are fun!!!

I put on 300 miles this past weekend at the Illinois Rally. Leading a
pack of late model fuel injected Guzzi's, This Loop runs 70+ mph like a
swiss watch and of course...smooth! The drum brakes do stop you
respecfully when properly setup.....one fast turning stop light did have
the late model riders impressed when they figured I'd slide right
throught the light!!!!

After a 2 hour back road run at a 65 - 75 mph pace this morning, The
breather hose was draining drops of motor oil. Overfilled sump???? or
Nature of the beast...panting???

Thanks,
JU
