Coming up to our 20 year aniversary I thought it was about time the old girl had her war paint touched up, not that she doesn't look half bad as she is, but you know what Ladies are like: have to look their best when out in public, and rightly so.
I promised I'd take her back to where she was born one day and so it was that we left Blighty for Lake Como and Mandelo last June via the Alps. Never missed a beat. Took her to Monza whilst we were there to. But the snow was still on he Alps when we went over and the salt didn't do her a lot of good despte a good washing at Belagio.
So, time to tart the old bitch up. Here we are at the begining of her disrobement! I'm going to refinish the front of the engine, fork sliders, re stove the swing arm and the front wheel and get the gearbox rebuilt as there is a bit of slop in top. Nothing too serious. Then she'll be ready for another 20 years.
Guzzi's. I love 'em.
