Thank you for your comment. As you know, LeMans is originally a sports tourer that specializes in high-speed cruising, but thanks to Moto Guzzi’s engine characteristics, which have a lot of torque even at low speeds, it can run a variety of roads.

@@classicmotorcycleriding3101 Right. No TC, no IMU, no ABS, no FI.....pure riding. Best regards

If you’d like, I’d be happy if you could watch the California 2 videos posted in August 2022. The title of one of three videos is as follows. “Adventure riding Moto Guzzi California 2 on a gravel road to the top of mountain.” Thank you for your interest in my videos.

Thank you for your comment. This is Hokkaido.

Grazie per il tuo commento. Il Lago Maggiore si trova a nord di Milano. Sicuramente sarà difficile per te ora che hai una disabilità, ma hai l'invidiabile esperienza di guidare diverse Moto Guzzi. È meraviglioso. Sto scrivendo questo testo utilizzando un software di traduzione. Scusate se il mio italiano è strano.

Grazie per la risposta il tuo italiano è perfetto, abito in un piccolo paese sopra Verbania, nel parco nazionale della Valgrante, il lago maggiore si trova a 60 km da Milano, dove abito io a Miazzina sono più lontano circa 100 km. Sono nato a Milano nel 1962 ma mi sono trasferito qua 12 anni fa, cercavo più tranquillità ed essere a contatto con la natura, Milano ti dà opportunità lavorative ma per me non è ideale per viverci. Sono anch'io un grande appassionato di moto ne ho avute tante ed ho girato mezza Europa. Se devo dare una definizione della moto, la considero" un'amplificatore di emozioni ". Se hai l'opportunità di venire al lago maggiore è la località ideale per girare in moto, scusami se non ti scrivo in Inglese, ma dopo aver avuto l'ictus lo dimenticato, avevo studiato a Oxford nel 83 un corso intensivo di 15 giorni, non lo imparato bene ma me la cavavo. Ti saluto caro amico e continua a coltivare la passione per questo splendido mezzo finché puoi ciao.

Se vuoi conoscere un vero Guzzista, puoi cercare su TH-cam, Aldo Mazzola il Guzzista, è un frequentatore di raduni della Guzzi ed ha creato una bella poesia su questa marca, è un video del 2015 ed aveva 81anni, spero con tutto il cuore che sia ancora in vita è un grande personaggio ciao.

Grazie per la tua storia dettagliata Circa 20 anni fa, ho trascorso circa un mese in una città chiamata Bode, nel nord della Norvegia, vicino al Circolo Polare Artico. Il mio amico e sua moglie si sono presi gentilmente cura di me. Era luglio, una stagione molto buona per andare in moto, quindi c'erano motociclisti da tutta Europa. Alcuni provenivano dall'Italia. Spero che i bei giorni continuino ad arrivare per te. Occuparsi.

Grazie per le informazioni interessanti. Proverò a cercare su TH-cam. A proposito, il nome della città della Norvegia settentrionale che ho scritto nella mia risposta precedente era in realtà Bodø.

Grazie per il tuo commento. Penso che la Moto Guzzi LM3 sia davvero un'ottima moto. Mio figlio guida la stessa moto italiana, la Ducati 860GTS, ma io preferisco la Moto Guzzi.

Anch'io preferisco la guzzi penso sia più gestibile, ma anche la ducati è un ottima moto. Buon viaggio amico, ti invidio un po' purtroppo non posso più guidare una moto e tanto meno comprarla, ormai sono un pensionato disabile, ho avuto un ictus tre anni fa, ma mi sono ripreso abbastanza bene. Continua finché può a viaggiare con questo mezzo che considero un 'amplificatore di emozioni ciao.

Certo, i gemelli Bevel della Ducati sono moto fluide e veloci, ma preferisco i bicilindrici a V della Moto Guzzi, che hanno più coppia fin dai bassi regimi. Ho quasi 70 anni e non so per quanto tempo potrò tornare a guidare fisicamente, ma mi diverto a viaggiare sulla moto che ho preso prima di andare in pensione. Anch'io sono pensionato, ma non posso vivere di solo lavoro, quindi mi guadagno da vivere lavorando come guardia notturna. Spero che il mio video possa essere una distrazione per te. Grazie.

Ho 62 anni e non posso più lavorare, tu probabilmente sei ancora in forma, sono d'accordo con te ho sempre preferito la coppia ai bassi, che la potenza agli alti essendo stato un mototurista girando mezza Europa. Adoro l'elasticità di marcia, con le Guzzi mettevi la quinta e ti rilassarvi, senza dover continuamente cambiare. Tornando all'età mi ricordo che lessi su una rivista del mototurista più anziano, aveva 85 anni e guidava la sua Guzzi Falcone del 1950 tenuta amorevolmente. Ciao amico ti auguro una lunga e felice vita.

Ti dedico questa poesia di Aldo Mazzola. Dal polo all'equatore ovunque voi andiate, sempre d'avanti a voi un'aquila trovate. Quando sentirete il rombo del motore, vi sembrerà di ascoltare il battito di un cuore, ed è il cuore di un Guzzista sull'aquila regina che segue volteggiando la moto che cammina. Centauri di ogni dove, venite ad ammirare, questa è la sola moto che vi farà gioire, godere e volare.

Thank you for your comment. I am currently replacing the ignition coil on my Moto Guzzi Cal2, so I will post another video once the repair is complete. Please wait a little while.

Thank you for your comment. I also think FXE is very cool. But I also like British motorcycles like Norton and Triumph, and Italian moto like Moto Guzzi. That's why it's difficult to choose which one to keep.

Thank you for your comment. My 650SS was imported directly from the UK and was equipped with two Amal Concentric 930. The basis for manufacturing in 1965 is the frame number. Based on your comment, I also researched the 650SS carburetor in books and on the Internet. The 650SS carburetor type and number listed in Roy Bacon's Norton Twins are 2 carbs Amal 376 from 1962 to 1966, 2 carbs 930 from 1967 to 1968. In addition to this, a model called 650 Standard with one carb 389 engine was also produced until 1963. Also, on the MCS homepage on the Internet, it appears that a model called Mercury was also manufactured from 1968 to 1970, which had the same engine as the 650SS but one concentric carburetor. It may be that the 930 used in the later model was attached to my 650SS manufactured in 1965, but the details are unknown. I changed to Amal Premier 930 at the time of restoration, and it runs smoothly without any special care other than left and right synchronization. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to learn about the 650SS carburetor.

Thank you for your comment. I'm very interested in the loop frame Moto Guzzi, but it's currently expensive and difficult to obtain. Among various motorcycles, I like the unique engine characteristics of Moto Guzzi. I got my Cal 2 as a used moto and once had the TM and FM overhauled at a Moto Guzzi specialty store. After that, I deal with the problem myself. Recently, I had trouble with the ignition coil in my Le Mans 3, so I replaced it with a new one myself. As a result, it is currently running smoothly. However, Le Mans is too fast for me. I think Cal 2, with its heavier flywheel and smaller carb, suits me better. Just from my imagination, the Eldorado has a heavier flywheel, so wouldn't it run with more torque? I think it would be fun to ride in such Eldorado.

the Eldorado did have a heavy flywheel, they talk about the new guzzi's have loving to rev and I don't rember that, that said it was really a mile muncher long as you rode it right, it wasn't a sport bike even though it handled flawlessly, the brakes were its achilles heel, I never got in trouble with it unlike some of my other bikes because I learned early in out life together that they would assist you in stopping as long as you put enough foot in it, I treated that bike poorly for how good it was, incrdibly stable chassis@@classicmotorcycleriding3101

Thank you for your interest in my video. I live on Hokkaido island in the northern part of Japan.

@@classicmotorcycleriding3101 I got that. Wrong thought but was Norway !

When I was young, I stayed in Bode in Northern Norway for about a month. I have fond memories of my friend and his wife taking me to the Lofoten Islands.

Thank you for your comment. As the snow melts, the season for riding motorcycles has begun.

Perfect

Thank you for your comment. After riding various motorcycles, I realized that my preference is the air-cooled, simple-structure OHV or SV two-cylinder or single-cylinder motorcycles.

Thanks for your comment. After many twists and turns, I somehow found out what kind of motorcycle I liked. But I can't retire to support these motorcycles and three cats ;‑)

@@classicmotorcycleriding3101 I enjoy vintage motorcycles, especially those that are relaxing to ride. Longstroke, torque low down etc. So mainly old harleys, but I currently have a custom guzzi california 1100 which is amazing to go on long trips too. So I will add an old harley one day and have 2 bikes hopefully.

Thank you for your advice. I think the reason I go to various places on my used motorcycles is simple. Because I have so much fun riding these motorcycles. I believe that fun is more important than speed, efficiency, or comfort.

Thank you for your comment. The past few days have been warm, so the snow has melted more and more roads are drying out.

Thank you for your comment.

Thank you very much for your comment. I'm glad that winter is over and I can finally ride the Guzzi.

Thank you for your comment. As you said, there is still some snow and ice on the road. However, in the area where I live, the period of riding a motorcycle is short, so I ride my motorcycles whenever I have the slightest chance.

そうですね。来週から気温が上がる予報なので、雪溶けが進むことを期待してます。 コメント、ありがとうございました。

I think GUZZI is suitable for carrying a lot of luggage and traveling long distance without getting bored. FXE has a strong engine, a cool exhaust sound, and torquey ride that you can enjoy.

For me, the fun of WLC is the satisfaction of riding an old motorcycle with a powerless side-valve engine and complex operations such as the foot clutch and hand changes.

@@classicmotorcycleriding3101 which one would you keep if you can only keep one of the 3?

I have a guzzi california 1100 that I customised heavily to look much older, I love going camping on it. I also want to get a shovel or a WL or even an Ariel VH500 single as a second bike because I want to try a real vintage motorcycle.@@classicmotorcycleriding3101

@@slash502 That’s a difficult question to answer (lol). I think the answer depends on my age at the time. If over 75, WLC. Around 70, GUZZI, and if younger maybe FXE.

It’s hard to choose between the two because I like motorcycles that have a pulsating feel.

Thank you for your question. I've never ridden at high speed over 120km/h for long periods of time, but I don't think there will be any problems riding 500 to 600 km in a day if the speed is about 80-100 km/h.

Thank you for your comment. Living in a snowy country, I also can't wait for spring to come when I can ride a motorcycle again.

Dankie vir jou kommentaar.

Thank you for your comment. My R27 was made in 1965, and I heard that this color was used by West German border guards as you say. As you pointed out, when riding on forest roads or rough roads, the engine speeds are low so can't expect a sufficient charge, but I usually ride at speeds of 80km/h or more, so I haven't had any battery-related problems. Thank you again.

長い冬の始まりです。

Thanks for your comment. It's been a while since I last rode one, but it has a good exhaust sound.

I might be wrong, but it seems like you ride the Norton faster than your other machines, :) @@classicmotorcycleriding3101

This 650SS was stored at a different location from 2017 until October of this year for restoration. The reason it took longer than planned was due to the coronavirus pandemic. Now that I've finally been able to ride it, I've been mainly riding the Dominator these days. As you say, I think it's one of the nicest motorcycles I own. Thank you for always watching my videos.

Sorry, that was a typo..
