Random Guzzi Shit

I need help.

Well, I’ve been a BMW fan for about as long as I can remember.
I currently own an R100S, R80 GS, K75 RT, all bought from this site over the last few years. I also have a project Funduro.
I removed the fairing from this to find a loose connection when it was my only bike, then I started to buy more and so it still waits to be reassembled. I can’t even remember what the original fault was!
About three or four years ago, I bought my first Guzzi, a 1995 Cali. with 5K on the clock. I’ve had a lot of niggling little things go wrong and twice it’s let me down when setting off on a run, both times just outside our Cottage Hospital.:eek: Luckily it was only only about a mile from home. The camber is really steep though and it’s a very hard push. Now, finally running really well.
Two years or so ago I bought a Nuovo Falcone. Slow but great fun. Again, I’ve had a fair bit of bother and again now running really well.
Thing is these Guzzis are the only bikes I ride now and I enjoy them immensely. I’m now thinking of selling the BM’s and maybe getting an Ambassador or other, older twin. Maybe even an older single.
I’m knocking on a bit now so won’t be able to replace them.
Anybody else been in the same situation?
 
I guess your final decision will be if you can afford to keep the other bikes,and if you have space to store them where they won’t deteriorate.
If you decide to sell I might be interested in the 100s and maybe the funduro.:augie

I would need to sell them to fund any new bike. I have them all in the garage but if I want to do any work on any, I need to put a couple of them outside. I have too many really. A reaction to having had bugger all during the child rearing years!
I know if I sell them I wouldn’t be able to replace them and they weren't easily come by in the first place.
I have a feeling that much as I would like another Guzzi, I’d regret selling the BM’s.
Feel like one of those chimps with an armload of bananas who can’t take his eyes off the loose one on the ground.

Love the way that accentuates the ‘height’ of the big lump with the modded frame..........

Anybody know what’s gone on there frame wise? It’s obviously Tonti but some radical reworking.......

The frame hangs from the front, you can just see the remains of the downtubes, this does away with the lower rails but it does need heavy modding in particular a plate at the rear of the engine atthegearbox.

This is my friend’s very cool Guzzi with this mod .:beerjug:

Ah cheers, I've wondered what those plates were for, it all makes sense now :beerjug:
