copperhead?

I use Mozilla Firefox with no problems (although I can't see your posted pics), what's your browser?

two red frames! GuzziMAX

I do not see them.

Great looking bike Bob and well equipped, and a good deal.

Our dogs have been on a raw diet for about four years. My Pet Carnivore has a ground beef and tripe mix they all love. Supplement with mineral and enzyme powders and a little bit of a good canned food to round it out. Dried goat ears are a favorite treat. Also deer antler but they are pricey. Thankfully I found a nice rack this spring while mushrooming.

That angle of the cans is perfect. The oval has a slight cant but the line flows and it works! Nice job with the hangers. Looks great

You mean '01 ? That's interesting. I'll pay closer attention next time I see one. (this coming ssr maybe?)

That said docc, getting one with the crap paint and having it redone would be in line with Guzzi's warranted repair, so cases repainted/powdered would still constitute oem. Fixing a recall doesn't void originality. The key would be to determine what finish was on the replacement cases. Replacement cases were what was offered at the time. I only assume they were the later satin finish. Now there would be some detective work...

Ha, those guys in the opening shot look like the staff down at Best Buy. Great film too. I had to purchase that one.

What came of the contact info I sent you last year? That one was truly the nicest one I've seen advertised for sale in north America since I started watching 19 years ago. At my best guess there are maybe 40 Tenni in the US..... Canada Idk?? Of the 170 world wide sales I would also guess that none came from the factory with the nice upgraded '03 semi gloss paint. If there are any '02 models in the '02 range with such I would be very surprised. The factory did offer replacement cases so there may be a few of those about, in the '02 model range. I do have however, first hand knowledge of Moto Guzzi's troubles with any sort of (US) customer service in '02, '03 when I tried vigorously to get compensated. I personally found that there was "no one to talk to." It would be interesting and informative to know the vin series run from the shite paint to the nice paint. Any of the nice ones from '02 would have been at the end of the run yes? But, then there are the many '03 "carry over" bikes which had the blistering paint. Knowing Guzzi, and their mish mash of parts and bikes, one might see an '02 with nice (oem) paint on motor cases I suppose. If there's one out there, I think you'll find it.

Shaved ice and a poke. hmmm where is this place?

I have zero confidence in anything substantive coming from this.

I didn't see anything said about the bi-section of the lens. Is the upper half for brights?

From a Rosso Corsa I parted. The vid is from the last time it ran before parting. I tried to show imperfections in the photos. A scratch and some fine stuff on the glass from too rough cleaning and the rest is on the inside from fog and dust. The back side is clean and no wobbly pieces. check p/n's ! $60. plus ship.

I have one from an '03 if you're interested. Looks just like yours, but check p/n's. Works and looks pretty good. A small scratch on the face and some "cleaning fuzzie bits" If you look close. The rest seen is on the inside, likely some fog and dust deposits. 25k mi. Used electronic parts might be good money after bad idk, but it's an alternative for you. I have pics and a video of the bike running just before I parted it out that I can PM if interested I just stuck the info in classifieds in case you don't need it.

if you haven't already Bob, see to the troublesome bullet connectors on the left side at the neck while you're in the harness.

Ha, neither was I

I'm with you on all this. Several HD's have come and gone in my garage and honestly they were more dependable, required less maintenance, and easier to work on than my Italians, and an endless support system and aftermarket. The torque was thrilling. Twisty roads.... not so much. (Except for my buddy's Buell XB9r)

Lovely time! I 'thought' a comment on every photo. Loved the 2a day. Thanks for sharing. Sambuca? is there a Dr Gonzo alter ego about?

lol perfect avatar! it's a ww2 aircraft cowl... I'm guessing F4F maybe? Chuck?

agreed... first place to start.

This what you're going with? Seems perfect

Welcome X! Both beautiful bikes. this forum will be a great source for sorting the RC. The SUB link is interesting. The '81 LeMans seems reasonably priced.
