But, they just got some parts and fixed it! I'd like to see pictures and a story just about that.

But the bottom line was typical Guzzi:



"The alternator died because we were overtaxing it with the two fans—we swapped batteries at each

driver change. The oil-pressure gauge started showing zero psi, yet it kept running, so we kept

driving it. Eventually, it crossed the finish on day two with the checkers."



Reminds me of the time one of my coils died, but the 850T got Sandy and I home on one cylinder -

from Munich to Stuttgart. The bike sounded like a 'Ma Deuce' going down the road without the plug,

but it got us home.

bet it shook like thunder too!

Like shooting the M-2.

The other day you asked about Guzzi's big bike. I came across this review this morning.

Almost hate to mention this but the picture in your link is a perfect
example of counter-steering. Very slight pressure against the direction
of the turn keep front fork and wheel aligned with rear wheel. You can
almost sense it.
