Guzzi Gadgy

IntroductionsHello everybody my name is Ian. I took early retirement 2007 after a life time of repairing HGVs PSVs Plant and for the last 34 yrs as a mobile forktruck engineer, and I haven't missed it at all, not enough hours in the day. Apart from my other hobbies (to many to mention) I have tried all different types of model making but have now decided to concentrate on diecast. I intend to try my hand at the restoration and conversion of Dinky trucks (to ambitious maybe) so any help I can get will be greatly appreciated. Well that's it for now folks.

Hey Guzzi, I figured that!
Californians were mostly white as I remember, and had a 650 or 850 engine, right?
"lovely to ride but a pig to move around so it had to go"
I have the same "problem". Harley......

Mine was 1100cc and black 2006 It was called the Vintage because it was a copy of the bike supplied to the L.A.P.D in 1975 these were 850cc. C.H.P (Chips) had the Kawasaki K3. Would post photo but haven't worked out how yet, Help. Like you say Harleys are the same very heavy.
