If you do the Magnetti Marelli one is far cheaper from Carpi-moto even with the dropping pound. I love mine!

Probably the most dangerous thing about them was the pointed end was sticking out to the right....I didn't want to scratch my fragile skin, I am still in possession of a 900 so I need to be careful, apparently

Fitted new battery to my project 850. Set about getting all the electrics to work - few cuts wires due to previous owner deciding he would remove the alarm before selling.


Sorted that, attached a rudimentary fuel supply and tried to start.


She spun over nicely but no startee


Then it came to me, these old girls have a choke mechanism don't they?


A quick tug (ooh, err, missis), and the old girl burst into life


Now trying to decide on a colour scheme, any ideas?
MOTO GUZZI T3 with Le Mans engine, frisky for an old girl

YAMAHA Tracer 700 


RE Himalayan


Down to 3 toys at the moment, need to go shopping I think



I DON'T DO EXERCISE - if God had wanted me to bend over, he would have put cake on the floor

Ridden Adenau to Splodge's in the fog/sunshine on some very nice single tracks followed by definitley not staring into several er moving display lingerie shops (I assume that's what they're selling Angel ), on the run up to his place.

 I thought about my old mk1....

........Because I used to ride it to and park at a certain bike dealer, who just revealed that their design for an entry to a  custom competition looks like this.....  https://www.facebook.com/albacustoms/photos/ms.c.eJwzNDIyMjYwNTQ2NDQxMzQ31zOECZiYmFuaGhoAAG7QBo4~-.bps.a.1193744750668882.1073741830.935945923115434/1222305131146177/?type=3&theater[attachment=o9126]

Did that a few months ago - felt a bit stupid having struggled with esp. the flasher switch for years and all it needed was a splash of fat to slide like Bambi on the ice :-)
