My 72 Ambassador. I have a 71 also but it is a basket case.



 
Beautiful bikes, Fredfrenzy! Have always loved the Ducati 750 GTs (who doesn't?), but that Guzzi cafe racer is ultra cool.

Nice looking original condition(?) Ambassador, Sticka.

Now that I have a Guzzi (albeit a modern one), it's always nice to see Guzzis. :)

Everything except for the seat cover (and wear parts, tires, etc) is original according to the previous owner who had it for about 15 years.
 
Sweet stuff!! Heart this thread. Will add mine when done and ridden.

The Guzzi V65 cafe was a fun build....and a fun ride. Not so pretty - orginal bodywork IMHO. I was looking for a Toni framed big block originally but happy with this. The smallblock Guzzi's are very underrated.
 
Need mechanic in the North Bay Area!

Hello

I have a 2008 Royal Enfield with a lot of performance mods (ACE -Fireball kit: head, rockers, valves, cams, piston, conrod, clutch etc.) I did top end assembly myself but the bottom end was rebuilt by a professional.

I need to bump up the compression by removing the cylinder base plate and replace with a gasket. I could do it myself but have been too busy. I am looking for a recommendation for a reliable mechanic in the Napa-Fairfield-Vacaville area to do this for me.

Would totally appreciate tips/recommendations.

Many regards.

Here is the bike: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw-tK8Fh490

Thanks, Rode my buddies 350LC that he brought in from Canada when it was new and fell in love with it. Then the RZ's came out and where legal here. Always wanted one then but could not afford it so I continued to ride my trusty CB550
 
My wife on her 1st bike, Yamaha TY80, brand new in 1974:

yes - that's a genuine, made-in-Italy Scrambler

[rather than a MotoTrans derivative from Espana]

it's odd, watching the Spanish values on eBay nearly equal the originals' value.....
