This is a common problem on old Guzzis, part of my maintenance schedule is to remove, clean lug holes and bar, polish and refit with pl...

Another great Day out.
4 Trikings, One parked in the field.
The far end of the field, too, amongst the ordinary Porsches and Rollers.
Won't be arriving late next time.
