Guzzi makes me walk a 2nd time; there won't be a third as it's for sale

[sagerat]

So PO'd right now; second time bike has just died.  Did it on my cross-country trip and now this.  

Told Bend Euro Moto do the 6,200 mi service and put it on consignment.

But, but...it's got SOUUUULLLLLL!!

Sorry to hear it, and I don't blame you one bit.  I want a bike that starts every time I push the button and only needs oil changes.

[atypical1]

I feel your pain.

What's the issue?

Oh, and I'll be happy to buy your bike for $1k.

Are you sure they didn't put BMW parts on it accidentally.  

Sucks when a bike breaks down.  It's one reason I sold my ZX9R.  There was an electrical gremlin in the ignition circuit somethere.  IT would blow fuses regualrly when trying to start the bike.  I once burned through at least 5 or 6 fuses on a 3 day trip.

Where's that Guzzi troll that always posts on the BMW board now?

I got that crap from a few people when I had problems with my Duc 800ss' rusting gas tank! It just HAD to be my fault!
Sheesh...
(and yeah, Ducati eventually acquiesced and replaced it under emmissions warranty).

Shouldn't you be squawking about this thread being in the wrong forum?

Jebus, why not just hand him the ammunition with the gun?

I got that crap from Kawasaki when parts started falling off my Concours, too.

And yet another keyboard bites the dust....    




I too sympathize with ya. 2 wheels or 4, doesn't matter, if it leaves me walking once I might forgive and forget, twice and it's history.

Yeah, yeah, Neal.

How is that water pump on the FJR holding out? I remember you almost selling the bike on account of it.

Funny thing is, its my KLR 650 that I bought new and only has some 6620 miles on it after one major trip that has been parked since I got back in August 2003. And its been parked ever since that day due to some nasty sounding engine rattles. Good thing I have a BMW or I'd have to fix the KLR.
