The Cal II has always been one of my favorite Guzzis. They are the longest wheelbase bike Guzzi made, by about 4 inches, and are great for the long legged but also low enough for the shortor of stature.Solid as a rock at speed too, mechanically simple and bulletproof as well. Guzzis are airheads too, sometimes even more so than BMW, and easy to work on. There are also several excellent large parts houses that can ship anything you need within a day or 2.
Please don't even think about a new, crated Chiang-Jang, unless you want to spend the net 2-3 years trying to make things fit and doing a lot of fabrication when they don't. Even when completed, they're still only half as reliable as an older Ural, which ain't saying much! If you can make it though, come on down to the annual Ural rally at Willville, in VA, July 9 - 11. This will be my 4th year going, and it's always a great time with lots of colorful characters!
