  1. From what I have seen... pampering Italian bikes means regular use.  Frankly?  The sitting around and lack of use tends to cause more damage than regular use.  Low mileage means almost nothing to me.  Did it get started regularly.  Did it get moved.  Did it have heat cycles... etc.

    FYI.  Saw Tenni #127 with 1600 miles.  Poor thing is rather rough.  Has had an engine rebuild and cases refinished.  Bodywork is well marked up.  Sad.

     

    So still in BC? Same owner? One of ours? Needing a new home? Do tell..

     

     

    Came from Washington a few years ago apparently.  Then owner had it here in North Vancouver.  Was sold to new owner.  New owner took it to Chilliwak Guzzi.  Complete rebuild.  Engine cases redone in crinkle, but don't match each other.  Drive line was left stock.  Crank had to be machined down due to connecting rod bearings being completely shot.  I saw them.  They were completely damaged.  1600 really really hard miles..?  So weird.

     

    Body work was a mess.  Over all completely neglected.  Might pop up again one day.  Thought someone might want to know whats happened to it.  Hate seeing that.

     

    Here was the add listed in our classifieds for that bike.  http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=20135

     

    The description... um.. ya.  That is not even close to reality.
