Thanx!

Thanks for posting that - I just went & picked up a copy myself. Very cool information, and they even list our site! w00t! w00t! w00t!

I don't have a scanner here, but I'll bring it into work and see about getting it scanned there. Still in all - very cool to have our site listed - along with only two others - in the article!

Congrats, Mike!

I will type in one short section of the article here because it's relevant and worth it (and this is in the right forum):

Under the banner, "Which ones to buy" they list the 750 Paso with the following text:

"Why you want this one
It might not be the best Paso - that's the faster, better handling, more reliable and better finished 907ie. But this is the pure Paso deal. It's a bike of well-balanced beauty and an icon of 20th century Italian motorcycling.

"What to look for
Carb icing, midrange flat spots and slightly nervous handling thanks to a 16-in front wheel. Panels break, the frame rusts and many are modified with 17-inch wheels."

How about just saving the scans to where you keep your photos, then uploading them to your image server, then posting the scans as images in a post?

how about just sending the scans to Mike the webmaster.
If you want to make a pdf of the scans I can do it.

I agree that it would be better to publish it in the download section of this site... (Mike needed!)

I just scanned the article in (finally - sorry for the delay) - so if anyone is interested, just PM me your email and I'll send you the PDF.

Also - I'm going to get this up to Mike to post in the downloads section, too ...
