If we ever have an ugly bike contest, This is my contestant. I'm going full cafe on this one. I've been wanting to do a cafe Guzzi for a while and I cant wait to get started, but i'll have to:( I've just got too many projects going now to start another. Stay tuned for that gorgeous front fairing to go up for sale. Due to the enormous amount of interest I'm expecting it to bring, I think the fair way to offer it is with sealed bids.     [/URL] |

Congrats on the new Steed in the stable Justin... now Sarie can road race this with you on team Guzzi.. I think the fairing will look good on my 360.. may have to add a few more gears to push the extra wind though... may even have to add cement to the back tire so it doesn't tip up on the front wheel..

I can't wait to see what you do to it. Here's a little inspiration for you. I've been drooling over this one all weekend. There's just something about a Moto Guzzi...  |

I've seen baby elephants smaller than that fairing.
And more aerodynamic too...
But congrats on the "ugly" find! ;D ;D ;D

Justin, Glad you're getting the honor of reviving the old T, I have a friend in St. Joe that had over 200k on one of those and never opened up the motor, just regular oil changes and changed the oil filter every 3X.I hope you can refrain from chopping her up too much, Make Carlo Guzzi proud. (but that is one ugly A$$ ferring)

Brad, That thing does look like Bender, I knew I'd seen that face somewhere! Did you see the note I wrote you about the V11 sport for sale in STL?

Love the pics! John unfortunately I am gonna do some hackin. But only to make it better:) I disassembled the carbs yesterday and soaked them and cleaned the jets. I put everything back together and she fired up after about 2 seconds. This is the start of a beautiful relationship.
Jack let me know when u want to pick up the fairing!
