When I opened the cylinders, I found that the right side bore had some chrome liner missing. That’s when this became a real project requiring full commitment. So I have on order a couple of new barrels and pistons, and over this winter will work my way through the rest of the bike. More to follow.

I’m embarking on a journey and thought I’d share it. I have an old 1977 Moto Guzzi T3 that I bought to work on to stop me getting bored after I retired. I rode it locally last year until it decided to stop running on one cylinder, at which point I saved it for a winter project strip down and exam.

Walking the dog this morning, we happened upon a herd of Elk, about twenty strong. We gave the Elk their space, and they gave us room to walk by. Cooperation between species. Then a neighbor, who's too lazy to walk their dog, released it to run at the herd. Happy new year.
