What did you buy today ???

[Hooli]

I saw a couple of those Guzzis in the Alps last month, they seem to go pretty well.

[Snapey]

I didn't buy it but my eldest arrived with this today.

Im a big guzzi fan and like the 14 no bloody electronics gizmo's just good old fashioned engineering and even good old locking nut and screw tappet adjustment , so all you need is a good set of tools and away you go

What about the other two in the shed.

Joined "Costco".  It's $60 a year but might be worth it. Saved a bit on a shop today and their fuel is often the cheapest in the city. Probably won't go every week but a monthly shop for loo rolls / tinned or dry food / kitchen roll / soft drink etc and fuel up the Ute will more than cover the membership.

Strange shop. $15,000 diamond ring near cheap T shirts, a hot dog and a drink for $2, a choice of several coffins, hearing aids, eye tests, a sea food party platter, 5 foot tall teddy bears and huge TV's near a mountain of Xmas decorations.

No room in that shed Jeff, that's why I built the new one although with it now insulated & lined I'm wondering if it's too clean to be used as a bike shed.

Didn't but anything but a new custom dash for my Defender arrived earlier in the week.....   Free ! 

Today bought some coolant & brake fluid for it.
Gonna service it tomorrow, weather permitting.

Shanered, what about the Guzzi people who bought 1200 8 v motored bikes? valve train destroys itself. mate down the road has one, cant be fixed, under warranty but no parts available. Guzzi wont honour wrty, says he shouldve used Guzzi oil. in the courts now, 30g down the gurgler. 2 yrs now, id be totally pissed off, he is. hope yours has Guzzi oil in it, whatever that is.

Not today, but on Tuesday I had my first tattoo...I know I've left it a bit late, but it's something I've wanted for years now. Just never found the "Right" design in the past.
I saw a piece of jewellery when we were on holiday in Spain earlier this month...Perfect design and just what I wanted

A friend actually sent me this which is very accurate

"Ah! A more complex Triquesta based knot. The traditional Triquesta based knots mean a Union of Mind, Spirit and Body. As you have three interlinked, it suggests a more complicated union. Your Mind is essentially Willing, Your Spirit you want is JD, and your Body just doesn't want to work anymore"

I have a mate Steve has a 2008 stelvio one of the first made he's done over 80k on it and the only trouble he has ever had with it is a failed generator and a blown fork seal , and that bike has a hard life as a courier bike .
I think its like anything you buy some times you have bad luck !

[grog]

Shanered, wasnt at all knocking your Guzzi, i like them lots, sound unreal. Just hoping yours doesnt have the cam wearing problem. a lot do, fit the roller conversion.

No worries grog ! .... the italian stuff is like marmite you like or you hate it.... and the reliability side of things can be a bit more hit and miss compared to the jap and german stuff , but you's pays your money and you"s take your chance !
Ive owned a few guzzi's in my time and for the best part they have been quite reliable but i have to say they dont tend to like it to hot , here in the uk with our inclement weather they tend to do better .
