I like it.  I think it has a lot of period correct pieces. 

That said it is a vintage bike and a vintage Guzzi.  There will be some fussing with it.  Personally, I would never ride a sidecar outfit with a drum front brake but that's me.  There's plenty of folks that would and do.

Overall, I would say it's a great coffee getter at a decent price but maybe not the best daily driver.

To the sidecar, it kind of looks like a Watsonian to me.  IE. It would look better from the front than the back.

As for you buddy, I'm sure he's a cool guy.  There's a little known law that only cool guys are allowed to be named Drew Baker.

I know that I would be cool...if my name was Drew Baker.

But it would be really cool if I was Brew Dakar....the drunken rider that wins the Dakar Races every year.

Nobody could live up to a name like that. I wouldn't even try.
