Big thanks to Lemans

**dangerous** · 26th April 2008, 19:37

Well after Lemans acco yesterday involving a few bikes on the local ambo run, he still rocked up to help with the busted Guzzi gear box today, altho he admitted to being a bit sore and unable to lean the bike down, well it is 1/4 of a ton.

The following is a few pics of a Guzzi box, it turns out it was only a spring which Lemans had in stock (I will replace) pic1 is a heavily sedated Guzzi, pic2 side cover off the box, pic3 the side cover with pawl spring, pic4 the farking trouble maker. pic5 is some good shit to clean the crap off ya hands, and funnily nuff good for ya hair, pic 6 is tomorows mish.
The Guzzi is a funny beast easy to work on but a farking pain in the arse unless you are tanked up with Vino and pizza.

Thanks for the time Lemans and the help in sorting the box, symptoms were stuck in 1st, the 6 speed box are known for this issue. Now heres hoping for a good day tommorow to give the new pawl spring heaps

ps: no more wheelies (for now)

Well as I see it, there is no point in getting to bent out of shape.
As there is no one to blame apart from the unknown fools that had to overtake every one.

FFS it a fund raising ride and not a race, get in line and stay there.

I think it was them forcing their way back into the group of riders that made everyone have to slow down, that may have coursed the sudden braking.

And I had more than a few pain killers (Bourbons) that night.

And below is pic of my gearbox sectors.
You can see that they are different.

Geesh D, if you'd come on that ride & the guzzler had shat itselfup there. We could have done that on the roadside

could've whipped up one of those springs from some fencing wire easy

rough bugger finding it's Achilles heel

Thats good I'll put it back in the tool box. (on the bike)
And you can do it on the side of the road, well I could on mine and now yours as it is a bit different.

And T.W.R it is one of those character thing's that Guzzi's can do from time to time.

Never, or every so often when in the middle of no where and it's raining.
