Race bike stuff-new toy

last October saw some track action in Calafat in Spain, I thought I'd share some photos, and add in the race bike I just bought... I was thinking to join Gus (from the forum here) in the Boxercup series, but having ridden a bunch of 2 strokes, I decided to relive my yoof, and go back to 'stink wheel...

Park opposite the gates Paul, parking is free, once you're done with the museum, head for Lecco and earn brownie points with lunch by the lake, the weather should still be kind by then, there's a plenty of very nice places to eat..

the Guzzi museum is free, roll up, sign the register and have a wander, I was there a couple of weeks back as a mate owns a bike shop in Lecco.
