    Classic write-off lives again!

    For those BTTP chaps what saw her all squished and wrecked..

    She lives again!

    Some changes from the last incarnation;

    Upswept pipes, painted Givi fairing, it's bloody green (and I'm not sure how it happened), new forks and air dampers, tinwork has been beaten back- no bog, grandad graprail cut off,home made cafe racer bars and my Stoner No#1 hand grips!
    (Update, ok he is No#2 this year)

    And a heap more to make her look like a late 60's early 70's cafe racer and less like a tourer what she is supposed to be excepting for my strong pimpin' hand always gets the better of things in my shed.

    Been test ridden and the only issue is new washers needed for the front m/cyl as there is a wee weep, otherwise all good to go.

    Big ups to the top chaps with the van what brought her home, and all the BTTP crew-I hereby dedicate this pimpification to you'all

    Right--------- next project.........

    Well done that man.
    Old Guzzi's rarely die, they just seem to adapt.

    Tasty work.

    Nicely done. Big ups.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    I/we got hit by a stray boat and trailer on the Coro loop on a Blast to the Past run with this lot of classic bike nutters. Broke my arm and squished some fingers so it took a while before I could get this puppy sorted out. Front end was bent back to the motor and exhaust and bodywork was trashed. Plus heaps of little things because one side copped a boat and trailer and the other side copped the sharp rocks as did I.

    I still left a bit of boat in the fins, L/H side lower engine case -just to remind me. The rest took hours to chip out with mallet and drift...

    Congratulations Dodgy. The poor thing took a big hit, and so did you.

    We still have some unfinished business though, so when are we doing the Coro loop?
