Have we met?
your a lucky guy, hey I live just a few miles from the MSP if you need a ride somewhere. we could get coffee or drinks.. or do a local shake down ride around the area..
I could even drive you down to Red Wing to pick it up if you don't have a plan yet and the timing works out. send pm for my #

I don't know if we have met. I left Minn. almost 10 years ago. I had gone to some Guzzi breakfasts when I was there. George ???? was the president. I would have been riding a yellow Centauro. (FYI: I'm still on the email list and love getting the Minn. newsletter.)

I was thinking I might be there for the Guzzi breakfast in Sept. But it doesn't look like timing will work for that. As plans develop we'll see if we can do coffee instead.

Mike,

Good luck with the bike. Don't know how long you intend to keep the SP but there are some parts (mostly fairing) that are hard to find if needed. Reboot Guzzi seems to always have a SPIII or two sitting around. The belly pan is one of those parts and it looks like they have a recently acquired bike which might have a pan but its hard to tell from the photo. The lowers are clearly gone but those were available a few years ago from regular sources but who knows now. Having had a SPIII and currently a 1000S and now a Daytona, I tend to keep an eye on parts even if I don't currently need them.

I only had my SPIII for about three or four years and it never gave me any problems.

Of the many motorcycles that I've owned since 1969, the one that I truly regret selling was my first BMW; a new R90S in Daytona Orange. It was a great motorcycle. Enjoy your new Beemer.
