auldy Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Hi All, Well after the woes of transmission spring failure, speedo cable breakage and leaky fork seals, I'm happy to say i'm back on the road. Whilst waiting for a new spring I had a new inner speedo cable made up, replaced the front fork seals and oil, had the tank, tailpiece and seat dome resprayed in 2 Pak gloss finish and new decals made up. Had a mate machine the journal down to 15mm on the transmission lever, changed the spring and fresh oil. Backed off the front and rear suspension preloads to allow for my 75 kilogram weight and she handles and goes like a dream. Now all I need is a fairing for the front and some warm Sydney weather, bring it on. Cheers Auldy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Actualkly there is a secound hand black Magni Fairing at Rick Gills Honda (he's the local offical Guzzi dealer, everyone in practise actully goes to Thunderbikes) in Perth for sale athough around 1700 I think can't remeber. Might be a nice replacement for the orginal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antonio carroccio Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Hey Jasper, How is it with your "project"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auldy Posted July 23, 2005 Author Share Posted July 23, 2005 Hey Jasper, September/October is a great time to hit the Sydney area. Spring will have started and on September 25th The Ducati Owners Club of NSW hold their Concourse d' Elegance Day. This is an all Italian Day with displays by Ducati, Aprillia, Moto Guzzi, Laverda and other well known Italian cars and bikes. The day also includes Italian music, food and atmosphere. I have been the last two years running and thoroughly would recommend it to any person with an Italian interest at heart. If any members are based in the Sydney area you can check out the www.docnsw.org.au/ website. Can someone pass me another beer, i'm feeling dehydrated Cheers Auldy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 If you ever make it over to the west of Aust contact me. I work away so it might not be possible to catch up but at least we have the best Guzzi shop in Australia here Roads are a bit open and stupidly fast around here though and the one between Sydney and Perth is a bit of a drag Nullaboring.

Guest jasper Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 by the way auldy.. how many scura's in OZ?? Ciao jasper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bugsy Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 by the way auldy.. how many scura's in OZ?? Ciao jasper 56948[/snapback] Hi, I'm told 25 .... and i'm looking for one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auldy Posted July 30, 2005 Author Share Posted July 30, 2005 Hi Jasper and Bugsy, I believe there are 25 Scura's in Australia. Bugsy, there is one currently for sale at Highway Performance Bikes in Banksia NSW. It is advertised at Bikepoint.com.au in the Moto Guzzi section under Scura. Cheers Auldy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jasper Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 well 26 in roughly a year.... funny to see the one advertised at bikepoint has the same tail mine has.... would almost make sense to sell mine here and buy one over there saves the hassle of moving i'll have to look into that! @bugsy go for the scura.. i had a green v11 before the upgrade in suspension is worth it!

O2 V11 Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Is the one for sale owned by not_scooter_Scura!? I have a feeling he may be selling his. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auldy Posted July 31, 2005 Author Share Posted July 31, 2005 Correct Rob, had a look through the classifieds, it is the the same bike. Auldy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
