This winter I'm re-habbing a 77 Guzzi t3. Last winter I put in a bunch of work on my R5. I have to say the old two stroke was much more rewarding to work on. The old pasta cycle is fighting me a bit.....
Next winter I'm thinking an RD is in my future.

C'mon, a Guzzi can't be that bad. Aircooled, pushrod v-twin, with easy access to valves, carbs and exhaust. And they are cool and fast-ish as well!

The engine I don't mind working on. The terrible electrics I've grown accustomed to. The 40 year old dry rotted rubber and seals are manageable.
This time it's the shaft and associated parts. There is not as much satisfaction in working on that stuff for me.
But they are a pretty awesome zen bike when the stars align!

A life long riding buddy has a T3 Cali he bought back in 1978 and he still loves the thing....................except the electrics that is  :bang:

I got bored during COVID and had a spare tank laying around. I found this cool wax product that holds up pretty good to heat and solvents. I put the badges on and did some finish work to it today.
