I am not quite ready for a new project just yet... but sometimes an opportunity comes along and it looks too good to miss... Bit of a risk buying it unseen, with poor photos... but the seller seems an honest sort of chap and its cheap... if all goes to plan it will be here tomorrow.
I will post some pictures when it arrives... I will be leaving these pages soon as the current build is finished... Not a Ducati this time! |

Will you chronicling this new project on some other forum ? This last one was very interesting, so another one will be just as interesting I'm sure, so I'd like to follow if you do.

Well there's a good bike hiding under some ghastly clothes there! I'm sure you will be the best thing that's ever happened to that bike.
I spotted this way back in 2016 and noted the parallelogram links on the swinging arm, presumably to tackle the shaft drive's torque reaction? I'm not for a second suggesting that you build anything as cliched as this, but thought there might be some brain food in the linkages? I'm hoping you will keep us posted on here when you start the build... Please..

Was there a link you posted Gazza? I'm not seeing any. That is one ugly bike!

Nice one, as a bit of a Guzzi fan I'll keep my eye out for the progress.
Whilst the Cali EV is no looker, Guzzi's have good bones for a custom (especially cafe style) bike. Here's mine during a recent roadside break;

There is always hope and make a boat? I don't think the Le Mans was a particularly nice looking bike even back then but the V11 Daytona was much better.

If we are showing off our old Guzzi's........here's mine. Sport Corsa from 1999, Full Termi system and white power (before the politically correct days of "WP" suspension!).
Factory special designed at the time to take on the 916/996, failed spectacularly, still one of the best looking road going Guzzi's in my opinion though. |

I had a used V11 Sport-FI was awful in town but fine on the open road. Not quite up to Ducati standards but still a largely enjoyable if rather heavy bike. I part exe'd mine for a new Griso 1100 which was nice but again rather heavy.
