thank you for sharing, that is a very user friendly bike, I owned an old Eldorado which I never took care of back in the eighties, still lasted for over ten years though and I rode it a lot and loved it, didn't value it enough
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
Nice bikes. Shame about the snow. It'll be spring soon my friend.
