Bike sold

A rare, low mileage, Moto Guzzi LeMans Tenni, number 127 of 170 worldwide. $7,400 US. Only 1483 Miles. I bought this from the original owner in 2013 and has been ridden only a few times a year. Bike has been stored in an indoors heated space. Bike is in original specification other than the addition of titanium exhaust pipes. Aesthetics are immaculate save small blemishes on seat fairing. Original carbon fibre pipes included. Regular fluid changes and maintenance performed. Bike comes with an original owners manual, shop manual, two keys, tool kit, bike cover, and two seats (black vinyl and brown suede).Here is craigslist posting with more pictures: https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/van/mcy/6321345417.html

All, just wanted to follow up. I found a great local service shop in Vancouver. The name of the shop is British Italian Motorcycles and Paul, the service manager is super knowledgable regarding Moto Guzzi's. For a reasonable fee, they serviced the bike and addressed all the issues raised by comments on this thread (save the engine case paint). Thanks for everyone's help on this.

Tom M and docc, Thanks for the link on the paint. It's still in OK shape so I will wait a little and then do it....maybe this winter. Loving riding the bike...

Ferguzzi, Thanks for the comments. Let me know when you swing through Vancouver. Happy to go for lunch and a ride if you want. I have a few bikes... Regards, Jake

Jwh20, thanks for the insight on the clutch rattle and the harley crinkle paint...

OK, just read the "Tank off maintenance Checklist". I am a little nervous at trying to do all of that on the bike. I think I am capable, but really was hoping to find a local Moto Guzzi expert to do a once over of the bike to ensure all is well before I start fiddling with it. I agree with Stefano that all fluids, rubber, etc. should be replaced. The bike runs quite well. It was kept in a dry heated garage for it's entire life to now. It has some of the niggles that have been identified on the forums here: -Loud clutch rattle when in neutral with the clutch engaged (lever out) -Blistery black paint on the engine casing (is this fixable?) -Mild tank suck As well, the windscreen and mirrors vibrate more than I have experienced on other bikes. Is this normal? Perhaps I need a tune-up or ?

Thanks Fotoguzzi and Stefano.

Not really. About a 3 hour ride. I love a ride that long, but awkward to get it serviced from so far...

Docc, Thank you for the encouragement. I definitely would like to learn. However, I would like to ensure I have an experienced mechanic go over the bike to highlight any issues, etc. Any ideas about how I would go about sourcing a local person who knows the foibles and intricacies of the bike?

I recently acquired a 2002 Lemans Tenni with 900 Miles. I am located in Vancouver, Canada and am looking for a good mechanic to help me keep the bike fully sorted. Anyone have any recommendations?
