  2. I’ve spent most of the winter and following lockdown giving the Tenni some love. I met a fellow Tennisti in St. Louis on a trans America trip in 2018(Iwas on a triumph)and his bike put mine to shame.A mixture of shit Irish weather, bad Italian paint, ethanol and me being lazy meant it was starting to look sad. The tank was suffering from severe measles, so that was the start, and it grew from there. I had one built by MCS in brightlingsea, UK, took about 5 months, not bad considering Covid had just hit. I had various bits of plastic repainted by a pro, the Tenni paint came from Holland(rocking horse poop). I powder coated wheels, triple tree, cylinder and alternator covers and a few other bits. Taking the wheels apart was the hardest bit, all nuts and bolts had turned to cheese, so a local engineer used his box of tricks to help. Apart from a small electrical problem (see technical topics, “thirty amp fuse failure), she rides exactly the same. she just looks better. Here’s to another 20 years!

  3. Great place Meticcio, been there quite a few times visiting the old yellow building. Last time with my son, the son looking at the old man saying, I like the feeling we can't make it home tonight, not tomorrow night either. Heard the speed limit for boats on the Lake Como is 65mph . Yes we can handle more pictures. Cheers tom

  4. This makes me very happy to see! Perhaps not quite so happy as you, hammershaug, but what a delight!

  5. That's the same article I found out how wrong I was . I thought the were mixing up Bob Seger in there somewhere . BTW , just about everything Ken Burns does is GREAT . It may not be perfectly accurate , but it is good enough . This documentary also brought to the public Shelby Foote . THE MAN .

  6. Giro in solitaria sulla sponda del lago di Lecco, solo io e la mia moto ... il rimbombare dell'aspirazione nelle gallerie, lo sbuffare degli scarichi, l'odore della benzina combusta, il tiro poderoso del motore, il suggestivo panorama lacustre dietro ogni singola curva e quell'impagabile senso di libertà! Il saluto sincero dei Guzzisti che ho incrociato e un ultimo saluto al cancello della fabbrica dove è nata ... quasi come ringraziamento della mia moto meravigliosa. Traduzione automatica, scusatemi. Solo ride on the shore of Lake Lecco, just me and my motorbike ... the rumble of the suction in the tunnels, the snorting of the exhausts, the smell of burnt gasoline, the mighty pull of the engine, the suggestive lake panorama behind every single curve and that priceless sense of freedom! The sincere greeting (lamps) of the Guzzisti I met and a last farewell at the gate of the factory where it was born ... almost as a thank you for my wonderful bike. Automatic translation, sorry.

  7. I'm updating this old thread because I've been trying to pry up that chrome cap for hours. Turns out the grey plastic center is the cap/plug which covers the hex drove hole in the chrome nut. So simple once you've seen the center cap removed :)

  8. How did this fuel clean the crankcase and how could swapping back and forth seize the engine ? I run straight gas in everything air cooled I have . I want it to start and I don't want expanded rubber parts in my fuel system(s) . Expensive , yes . I don't even look at the price . There is a website pure-gas.org is a site that has a list of stations offering this fuel . Google this site and look around .

  10. We have it in the Netherlands too. 5% ethanol, but if you want to ruin your fuel system, it's available with 10% too...

  11. Swedish gas..... Is it blonde with big knockers? Nice first post, an advertisement for some fuel company with zero Guzzi content.
