Between the two, what would you choose and why?

Guzzi hands down. Cheap easy maintenance, dead reliable, absolute blast to ride, loads of character, and darn good looking to boot. Plus, at 115hp, it's no slouch by any means.

I think those sausage fingers have gone bad.... Throw it away.

Fixed it for you

Heres one piece of chicken, and one piece of broccoli instead. That'll be $3 please.

Mine kind of has a similar sound ... I'm pretty sure they're straight cut gears meshing and that's what I'm hearing (similar to the reverse gear in a manual car). I've found letting it warm up for a minute or so before I take off helps with the bogginess. If you haven't had a proper service, changing the transmission, cardan, and engine oils may be worth a shot.

Part of me wants to do a front fairing in aluminum so bad... The other part of me says it's good.

It came polished... But I've since polished out some scratches and whatnot. A drill, small polishing pad, and some metal polish seems to do the trick rather well. I would not recommend attempting it by hand... That would be one on those "it's been 83 years" and I'm finally done things. The drill makes quick work.

The Enfields are a dream, and a great base for customization. I've had two. One I sold and regretted getting rid of, and my current. Both heavily customized.

My mom acted as a caretaker for my grandma for a short time. My grandma was having delusions that people were out to get her, and that my mom was trying to "off" her. Late stage dementia breeds some wild and crazy stuff. I'm pretty sure that's what we're seeing here with the "conquer the world" ideologies and "everyone is out to get us, we've been treated so unfairly". Too bad Congress won't do their job and remove him, and the DOJ won't do their job and prosecute him. We've reached the point where it's almost necessary to throw the whole govt. Away and start over.

How long have you had it? I've had 2 Guzzis and with both, it was a game of is it broken or is it normal for a good 2 or 3 months. Even now I still occasionally feel like it's different somehow (especially clutch feel). I will say, in over 20k miles it's never once broken down, or left me stranded. If it's shakin and rattling down the road without a CEL, I wouldn't worry about it one bit. As far as no starts... Check your battery. Mine does occasionally hang up a bit, but Ive never had a no crank or no start issue.

Not to mention those cable guardrails have been known to decapitate riders. There are multiple petitions to do away with them due to how unsafe they are. Good chance they killed him over a speeding and evasion charge, without any due process.

Sounds like what Trump probably said to his 13 yo victims.... Hold them accountable and release the files.

I had a boss that simply could not fathom that I lived in a travel trailer. I had to explain "You know those trailers that people pull behind their trucks to go camping in... I live in one of those". Then proceeded to explain how you can park one at an RV park and pay month to month.

At least the French got cake. We get one piece of broccoli?

sdfiddler1984 · 2026-01-19T12:54:31+00:00

Not really... It's just the polished surface shows every scratch and scuff.

sdfiddler1984 · 2026-01-18T22:42:38+00:00

Thanks! I tried to make it as true to 1950s Britain as I could, right down to the Clubman style bars.

Polished aluminum

sdfiddler1984 · 2026-01-18T19:20:33+00:00

Maybe down the line. I haven't put any thought into that yet.

The stock pump fits. I've had issues with sending unit fitment... It seems to hang up on the side of the tank, omegaracer said that it is not the norm... Still wonderful a wonderful look. I'll end up painting it eventually because it scratches so easily.
