Good news
 I dropped the 11 year old oil today... crystal clear honey...not a speck of cereal... No indication of cylinder problems... Hooked up a battery and got a coupla lights, but no spinning of starter.... Methinks the wiring might be podged.....

 Nice find, Dan. But I'd be pulling the heads to check the cylinders if it were me. I love Eldorados. Recieved an e-mail earlier this afternoon from a friend in Toronto who just took delivery of a '73 from Texas. Didn't even know he was looking. Canadian police forces never used them, so they're as rare as hen's teeth up here. I bought the first one I ever saw in the fall of '80 and rode it across Canada the following spring. Finally saw another one about a year later in the Rockies. The owner bought me lunch... Blah, blah, blah... Have fun, Dan. You've got a fine bike there.

I'll be simply pulling the cylinders and replacing them with Gilardoni's. {Nikasil} It's not worth taking the chance with the unknown chromies. ALL the conditions are right for big farging flakes to be pureed in the blender. I was hoping to get a compression test on her first, but that's not 100% required. The heads can be checked at the shop easily enough.
My biggest problem is lack of winter. 50 degrees, no snow, no salt on the roads... I'm going riding instead of getting greasy!

Damn Yankees '10
The Yankee Beemers now buddy up with NE Moto Guzzi's at the Damn Yankees Rally..
Damn fine rally! This was at the '10 meet...  I might not have realized it at the time, but I think this image became burned into my memory banks...
