Hey Todd,
I'm in exactly the same boat as you. I ride the Breva while I try to figure out what makes these loops go. but I wouldn't give up the wrenching for anything else. sure it's frustrating when you don't know what you're doing. but when it works it feels so good. plus eventually you will learn it and then you will be able to depend on your mech skills in future. Although I too dream of being able to just go out to LA and pick up a nice fully functioning restored bike from Mark it will just have to remain a po' boy's dream for now. gotta save money for the parts to get these loops going!

Probably......but I "struggle" with that.....;-)
I am in the process of planning a "workshop" (read Guzzi Garage) in the
future. The problem is whether I have the patience and ability to learn as
I go when tinkering with a running, but ratty Eldorado. My tool collection
is marginal at best and most of that would have to be updated also.
Do I invest in space, equipment and tools to do a mediocre restoration or do
I trade it for a nicely restored Eldo and save a bundle in time and
headaches doing it myself? I always think about the riding time lost while
trying to figure out how to fix something on my bike. Remember....it takes
me 4 times as long to do something than the average rider :-).... That is
why I run a newer bike while I tinker with the loopframe. I'd never get on
the road if I had to depend on my mechanical skills.
Todd
