In the past I have never made money restoring a bike it always seems to be a loss
However if I had spent the time I spent on the restoration in the pub having a beer I would have had a greater loss and would not have a finished bike that I was proud of restoring
As stuff goes wrong during a restoration you learn a lot about yourself
Would I do it again ? absolutely

Final Followup
The Moto Guzzi was sold to another rider we know. This guy has restored a Suzuki 500 Titan 2 cycle and is working (slowly) on a Triumph Spitfire (auto). His daily ride is a Triumph Speedmaster.
Went for $300, with all manuals and receipts.
Have mixed feeling here. Glad for my friend who was able to pass the Goose along, but concern for the buyer, a guy who is our neighborhood and occasionally rides with us.
Oh, well. Time will tell how this will turn out. If it ever gets on the road will photo and post, but there is a lot between now and then.
