I restored a 1974 Moto Guzzi. Loved it. I think the Europrean bikes are easier to work on than the Asian bikes. The best "mod" I did to it was put a Dyna Electronic Ignition on it. All I had to do after the installation was barely bump the starter and it would fire right off, ran a lot better and got 3 more mpg. I've installed several more Dyna Ignitions on older bikes for other people and they all love em.

I had a 100/7 in 1985. My plan was to use it as my daily driver but also for TDY USAF trips.
-- On a trip from Moody AFB Georgia to Grissom AFB Indiana, the input shaft on the transmission rounded off, stranding me with a vehicle that was completely, and very expensively, disabled. I was late to the conference. The General was not happy.
-- On a trip from Moody AFB to the Pentagon, the alternator died. The General was not happy.

I switched to a 1983 Suzuki GS850 and never missed a conference or Bike Week thereafter, and,... I don't use BMW motorcycles anymore.

If you think there's good in everyone, you haven't met everyone.
