Well after much procrastination and searching I've put a deposit on this beauty. Took a run out and saw it in the flesh today and was smitten. I looked at the California but love the retro look of this one. Missus loved it as well and said go for it. All being well collect it next week and the spending begins:bounce1:bounce1.
On the shopping list, Hepco and becker rear rack with sissy bar, C bow leather Buffalo panniers, stainless radiator cover and one or two other bits of bling as the wallet allows.
Retiring in a few months then we are off. Bike will eventually be exported and registered in Spain. If anyone is interested in a mint Triumph America LT with loads of extras Spanish registered let me know:augie, meantime a few pics of the new steed.

What a lovely motorcycle. It must be a great feeling that you'll be taking it to your new home in Spain. Enjoy..:Motomartin
 
Thanks, we currently enjoy the Triumph when we are over there but I've always had a hankering for a guzzi. Really love the California that my brother has but like the style and look of the Eldorado and the option to go naked (the bike that is:eek:):thumb
 
Believe there were only about 5 Eldorado's registered in the UK so quite a rare beast. The yanks love em and there is quite a following on the guzzi tech forum. Any advice and info on guzzis greatly appreciated.:thumb2
 
Lovely.

I have the H and B Buffalos on my Audace.I went for the Buffalo Big but they are quite wide.



You can also get some nice Agostinis exhausts that sound fab and fit seamlessly.

I think buffalo bags are the ones I'm gonna go for. The original fit MG leather ones and rack are way too expensive and the racks don't look great when the bags are not fitted. Problem with spain is everything has to be homologated or removed when it's itv (spanish mot) time.
 
It's arrrrived

Collected today:bounce1:bounce1:bounce1
Decided to use a van but with hindsight would have been a lovely day to ride it back. Farkle list prepared:eek: as long as I get to the postie before the missus:D
