Moto Guzzi stories

On the road again ...

before coatingIt took a little while, but finally the missing chrome parts came in. Nice and shiny. We ended up not re-chroming a lot. For the most part a solid polish was enough to bring back the shine. Having everything in place, the next step was to bring the bike out in front of the house and give it a try. Well, that did not go very well. After a couple of attempts it turned out that the ignition timing was off. With that corrected and half an hour later, the Guzzi came to life and jumped into action. We tested the ignition with the flash lamp, and adjusted it only slightly. For the rest everything checked out just fine. All the gears appeared to work and so it was time for a test drive.
