Cleaning up a neglected Moto Guzzi Nevada 750
I bought a second motorcycle!
2007 Moto Guzzi Nevada Classic 750 with less than 8,000 kilometres on the clock, that's only about 500 kilometres per year on average!
It had been pretty neglected and was suffering from rust and corrosion. In this video we'll give it a good clean. I use Australian products where I can and where they are good quality. In this video I use a lot of Bowden's Own products from Queensland. They are great! (not sponsored! my genuine opinion). Check them out here:
www.bowdensown.com.au
@BowdensOwn
I had to ride over 400 km to get the bike home from Sydney. About halfway it broke down and was stuck in Newcastle for a week - thanks to Brisan Motorcycles (@brisanmotorcycles2926 ) and Eurobrit Motorcycles (@Eurobritmotorbikes) for getting me back up and running again with a new fuel pump.
Also thanks to Thunderbikes in Western Australia for supplying the new old stock parts. Mario is a pleasure to deal with and specialises in Moto Guzzi - check them out at www.thunderbikes.com.au
I tried a few different cleaning techniques. Some worked better than others. The handlebars were quite pitted and needed the 0000 steel wool with lubricant and metal polish. Not perfect but better.
There's still more to do but at least I can ride it and not be ashamed haha!

Staintune silencer on a Himalayan

Hi! Welcome back :-) It's been a while since I shot a video so this ride is just to test a new camera and some new gear I have fitted to the motorcycle - including a new silencer from Staintune. Have a listen to it as we ride. This video was very much an experiment and test ride. I did some talking to camera but it didn't work too well with the new camera and microphone - I didn't have the audi...
Still on weather hold

I made this little video back in May but didn't release it. Turns out the weather is still about the same now. Many of the forest trails I like to take you on are closed or at least very muddy. I also haven't been able to take advantage of the breaks in the weather due to my other responsibilities. I might have to try some road rides soon! Thanks for hanging in there! 😎 #motonumnum

    Mines got over 25000 miles and the only problem was started that just went down. Not as quick as my SV 650 but really close. And quite quick in the curves compared to my other cruisers. The motor being designed using airplane engineering is overbuilt and tank tough.replaced the brake shoes as stopping power is amazing and great gas mileage. Love it and it's a keeper.

Mind you, nothing like a sweet Italian bike to get the juices flowing. It really is in great nick for 16 years old and a few of those left unloved.

    please take this as a positive/ helpful comment, for all of us to remember the simple rules. I also fail at this, so I am not trying to judge, just trying to help people remember the basics. Did you notice coming off the junction at time 1:49, you exited in the right hand lane (of 2 lanes) but moved to the left lane, apparently without looking. That`s a very dangerous move. Changing lanes on multi lane roads is a major point where accidents happen, changing lanes at a junction on a multi lane roads, multiplies the risk factors
