I still get such a kick out of starting up some old bike that's sat around for who knows how long. Dorian and I spent a bit of time yesterday on this cammy 175 Guzzi Lodola that I brought in from Italy some months ago, and the end result was satisfying. The motor sounds good, just need to fettle cables, brakes and whatever else needs it. Unrestored, that's how we love 'em...

What a thing of great beauty-I am still not prepared to ride lodolas to brighton on the pioneer run though (even though mine has 60 more cc's than yours and sporting handlebars!!!!!!!!!
We will be going by S3's as usual.

Tutto originale!!
If it doesn't warm up soon I won't be riding anything anywhere unless it's warm and in a strange country.
Tutto originale indeed sir, con manubrio sportivo e bocola per forcale ( or something like that)e biposta and basket weave handlebar grips?
