I have a 1000 California MOTO-GUZZI 1987 which gives me full satisfaction (if, if, I swear you). I am never broken down (Word of scout!). I l�ai purchased 40 000 km, it has now double, and other garbage, changed j�ai a d�embrayage before qu�il cable breaks and a light bulb (I swear you that c�est a GUZZI c�est marked on the tank). In January I decided to d�atteler myself, or rather d�aider a friend (thanks to him he recognize;-)) to get a Jewell a place purchased 4 500 F with GUZZI fasteners. In 4 or 5 weekends, time to disassemble, scraping, sanding, paint the chassis and d�effectuer precession, toe and Camber settings, everything was assembled.
The battles Mines During this time, j�ai started from research (the word is low) of all the documents the service of mine asked me. Indeed changing markedly motorcycle (passage of two to three places), I am compelled to again approve my machine. The main document qu�il needed me, the Sesame, c�est l�autorisation of MOTO GUZZI. After writing, no answer. J�AI investigated to MOTO GUZZI dealers and different manufacturers of sidecars, this n�est not the d�attendre penalty, they give more l�autorisation for machines over ten years and mine was ten and a half years! Dealers of course advised me d�acheter a more recent machine. Bin see! In addition my own c�est a GUZZI not falling down, I won't change it for a real, which fired up cables, bulbs and which has an electrical circuit to cry an electrician. In addition she is black with rare chrome mudguards and c�est. C�EST decided, I care!
The baskets were ready to m�aider, they are loaded passage to the mines, but that it is them who become the constructor instead of MOTO-GUZZI, they must change significantly the motorcycle, c�est to say change the fork, wheels, braking the motorcycle and, j�achète a nine side (on n�est more about it almost).
I foolishly I thought that the c�était the poor car sidecar. Due J�AI born much too late.
I have taken d�embêter a guy in the Side car club French (SCCF) (thanks their directory) who owned a calif 3 of 87 coupled with the constructor l�autorisation. He n�avait more this permission, but the minutes of the qu�il mine was the friendliness of m�envoyer. Thanks to solidarity sidecariste that that a lot of people who do not know me kindly give me shots of helpful inches.
Of course, they n�ont nothing wanted to know mine: "you n�avez qu�à go to l�Yonne mines where they have accepted this case." Well, we will refine the rest of the record, we never know, must be impeccable, puisqu�il missing an important piece: certification of Assembly established by l�installateur . Ben l�installateur c�est me, soon a pc and j�en am a well nice. Yeah! It is all beautiful my certificate, but side38 up in l�art rules a sidecar to side38, I don't know if it is really serious. Bernard of M�AUTO more motorcycle School of Soissons (still one of the SCCF), said qu�il is a mining engineer, why I him to have not spoken earlier of my paperassiers problems? L�ingénieur of mines not s�occupe more motorcycle files it would be too simple. He told me that if I can't qualify a reception at isolated title (the side mounting), I can always switch to receipt of prototype. Do you know the difference you? Ben she is size difference! Prototype it means ironing any motorcycle to l�homologation under your name. You really think qu�une 87 GUZZI is the emission tests? As you land at the muzzle to 80 decibels? Perhaps welding output d�échappement?
Too bad many continued to record, but not I am not discouraged qu�est - what you believe you?
Description and diagram of the binding mode. Ben are sent photos to Jewell (manufacturer of the side). No, Sir, these are fasteners Héchard, worse cart c�est a place and a half not one place. Without laugh! And the half in rab, c�est what? A demi-genou? With the moto jacket I'm just at l�aise! Finally it s�en fout, on the other hand I thank Jewell and Héchard for the speed of their response. The schema is not very serious, c�est drawing d�un Framework Japanese with crosses in the pen at the locations of the tie, but ya the buffer, it is immediately better.
Good j�ai the papers, is still in July, and then at about six o'clock, a telephone call: "-Hello c�est Mr Sacchi, I come to the position in the technical services of MOTO GUZZI France." I see that you have made a request d�autorisation d�atteler that we n�avons not respond. -Ben non- and j�attends the response with impatience! -You cannot give l�autorisation for machines over ten years and yours has 11. - But when j�ai my request she had barely a decade and a half. -I understand your despair and I will try to help you. I will send you a paper to be completed by your dealer that he has checked that all security organs are in good condition and that your motorcycle is able to l�attelage. After j�essayerai d�obtenir a derogation to MOTO GUZZI Italy. ""
God it would exist? Finally a real hope! J�AI returned the papers an Monday and Thursday SUPERSACCHI m�avait returned my authorization d�atteler. That this man to be forever thanked. Finally a guy much less c... than others and that n�est not blocked behind a settlement, but willing to help others, and very quickly yet! What remains as a paper for? because - j�en have already much and property still! The certificate of the manufacturer of the tire of the sidecar . Ben Bibendum, can you tell me if your car tire can withstand a maximum load of 170 kg? What joke!
We are in early November, I give my finally documented mines. I get a convocation for December 14. Reassembly of the basket in emergency. And, that day, in less d�1 / 4 h, I went and l�ingénieur n�a found nothing wrong. I also note! Laughing out loud
J�ai succeeded in almost a year, and my m�a side cost 4 500 F basket with tie GUZZI, 559 F passage to the mines and 100 F of revenue stamp. You can add 100 to 200 screws F, painting for the chassis, stamps, photos. It does exactly what j�ai wanted, namely a basket that you is not to d�une new motorcycle price. Good d�accord the side is red and the bike is black, but well, I will eventually find a painter at motorcycle rates. Worse me not spoil my pleasure!
This coupling, I l�ai kept jusqu�à his 125 000 km and I still regret selling l�avoir. I n�ai no specific worries, evidence that itself even and without special knowledge can be healthy and sustainable mount (about 40 000 km with my cart without fears).
If quelqu�un d�atteler himself, before d�acheter the side, qu�il contact me (by mail or via the forums private message) to know this qu�il should do so, and if its constructor gives l�autorisation. Like many sidecaristes, I will be always ready to l�aider.
Side38.
