The story goes like this:
The original owner of the Guzzi, supposedly a Lemans 1, crashed it on the first day of ownership. He bought a new frame and upgraded some bits on the way. Martin Shields of the now defunct Forcycle did some performance work to the donk. It was ridden hard and abused. The mongrel was still running but the present owner wanted it brought back to life.
I didnt take good before shots ...

| Original seat remains for better or worse like a thinly upholstered besser brick. |
