In Moorcroft Wyoming, with 57170 Miles on the Breva 750.
Only ever had 3 problems, so far.
First one, was the bag frame bolt, vibrating loose, dropping the bag on the hot exhaust. that burned through the bottom of the bag, and as the bottle of polish exploded, the spare clutch cable burned out.
So we had to buy a set of Saddlemen bags, in Hurricane UT

On a subsequent trip, in Torrey. UT
I had the rear brake lock up.
Sometimes you get lucky !
As I was looking for a mechanic, in the phone book, the lady in the coffee shop, said
Why don't you folks talk to BIGGIE ?
Well, she gave us the phone nr for the local Mr fixit, and were we ever lucky !
BIGGIE, was some sort of adaptation of an Icelandic name to American.
Anyway, BIGGIE restored old BMWs, and also had a couple of Moto Guzzi's
We worked away for a while, not understanding what had gone wrong with the rear brake system.

Finally we found out that the brake pedal adjuster, had not been LocTited, and had vibrated lose, thus allowing the cylinder to close up.
JEEZ WHY DID MOTOGUZZI HIDE THAT BOLT BEHIND AN ALUMINIUM PLATE ???

OK So now I was touring around Utah, and having fun, around Price, taking photos for the blog, and I noticed oil strips on the rear wheel.
So, momma and I did a google for a MotoGuzzi agent.
We got 2, one was in Albuquerque New Mexico, and the other was in Ft Collins Colorado
Well...
The road to Ft Collins was more of a direct route, with pull outs, here & there,so I used that, to keep an eye on the leak.
Well, having got to beemersandmore.com, One of the staff, a fantastic guy called “ Flash”
loaned me his BMW 650, and I rode it through the Rocky Mountain National Park.
Absolutely BRILL !!
Anyway, I am in Moorcroft Wyoming, heading back East

Take Care Out There !!

Anyone Else Got Questions About a BREVA 750 ??????
 
The final drive seal developed a leak.
Not much, but it makes a mess of the rear wheel, also leaks only get worse.
Beemersandmore.com put in a new seal & gaskets, and one of the guys , Flash, loaned me a 650 BMW, so I could go sightseeing over the weekend & Monday.
Bike was fixed by 16 30 on the Tuesday..
Take Care Out There.
