Squeak 17 #1 April 27, 2010 Well the bike is now officially under reconstruction. I'm a BIG procrastinator, but yesterday i finally started stripping down Sophia. (1988 Motor Guzzi LeMans 1000). It's a complete strip and rebuild so it will take some time. I'll try to post pics and updates for those who may be interested.It will look great when doneYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
