I was messing about in the workshop today when I heard the familiar rumble of a Vee twin in the street outside and a chap had turned up on this.][url=https://postimg.cc/PvLVW3q2][img]https://i.p
I didn't know him from Adam but a mutual acquaintance for whom I'd rebuilt a Laverda SF 750 engine a while back suggested that he drop in to discuss the arcane features of Loop Frame Guzzi's. He's not long had the bike and absolutely loves it, so a pleasant couple of hours was spent drinking tea and congratulating ourselves on our excellent taste in motorcycles.

I will never sell my Ambassador.
I will never sell my Convert.
My V85TT is a great bike, but is for sale. (at a good price on here I might add!)

It is a lovely bike. I did mention that the front brake lever geometry could do with a bit of tuning.
