Indeed, though I have recently sold mine. Do I need to change my "handle"? |

I see this one has sold. I did ask the vendor to pass my details on to the new owner (it being only one digit away from mine on the reg number) but nothing heard from either.

Hi all,
I've just today joined the forum because few a weeks ago I bought what I believe to be an original C&H Black and Gold LeMans II. The reg is OPB 2W, registered in 1981, and has about 49k miles on it. As far as I can tell it looks to be original, in terms of paint on the tank, fairing & frame, including original surface rust on the frame !!! It's MOT'd and I've been out for a couple of rides on it. Brings back memories, as I had a black & gold LM2 back in the very early 80's, just after they went on sale. I need to get in it for a service, as there are a few minor issues to get fixed, e.g stuck choke which is making it run a bit rich on 1 cylinder, tachometer not working, some electrical gremlins, and a suspect fluid leak from the foot brake master cylinder. Once that's all sorted there are a couple of minor cosmetic repairs on the lower fairings, then get the lafranconis re-finished. Boy, do they sound good though 😊😊😊😊😊😊 Then I think it will be fully sorted, not restored, but a very good, clean, original example, which I will try to take to some of the Guzzi club meetings this or next year I'll have a look at how to upload photos and then get some uploaded |

Well LeMansII you'll note from the post above yours that I asked for my details to be passed to you. Clearly they weren't. You see I have OPB3W which I've known for over 30 years and is a n original C&H so I'd say it's a pretty fair bet that yours is too.
We'll have to try and get them together sometime for a photo.

Hi Bondequipe,
The PO did mention someone (you) had been in touch with him, and he would put us in contact, but he went on holiday just after I bought the bike, so perhaps forgot. Anyway, it's great to be in contact with you, and all the other C&H owners. It would be really great to get 2 (or more) of these great bikes together. As you've known your bike for 30 years it will be a very good benchmark for me to work to to ensure mine is as original as I can make it. I live in the Windsor (Berkshire) area. Where are you? |

Barnacle - like it says!
Okay, save you searching, that's just N of Coventry. I'm away for a few weeks so won't make Cassington, etc but should be at Calne with the Guzzi on 30 Jul.

This looks like a good event. Weather permitting it would be good to gather C&H Black and gold bikes together at this (for an approx 35 years anniversary meet).

I can do that one - though I wouldn't fancy sitting there all day in the hope of some prize! Any particular time you fancy?

Hi all,
My B&G LM2 is in being serviced as I type. As long as no major issues crop up, I plan to be at Calne on 30th. Probably get there late morning / midday. |
