I'm sure you know, but they make some nice jackets for street now.
Turtlebacks with spinal protection, kidney, elbow... And of course, as
you already know, buy a new fitted brain bucket, never used...


The advantage for JohnH is that any "brain" bucket he wears, will
always remain virtually unused.

Got it!

I love mine. My Harley riding brothers want me to get a Harley. I think
they just want me on something they can keep up with. I told him this Guzzi
will probably last until I die!

The way you look, that doesn't seem far in the future.

John, in the not too distant past, I had thought of reviving either my
Ambi or Eldo engine and getting some small boat or craft and coupling
it to a jet ski pump. But at full throttle at possibly 40 mph I
figured the engine would over heat, so Then I thought that I'd need to
build some type of cooling shroud around the cylinders . Well, Not
having the time for such I abandoned the idea. however I have seen
guzzi engines used on small experimental air planes.

Come to think of it, I believe that Guzzi made a V-twin specifically
for actual use small air craft, but don't hold me to it.
