BTW, 3narf, that Morini is looooovely
Was lovely. It's gone back to its original owner...
He bought it from new, toured Europe on it, won the first ever Earlystocks championship in the 350cc class, wrote it off, rebuilt it etc etc. I bought it in '94, kept it for 15 great years before deciding I wanted to do a Vespa project. The original owner contacted me at that point so we did a deal.
The Vespa was great, and quick (for a 130cc 2-stroke single with 4 gears) but I didn't have the same attachment to it, obviously, so as soon as I was skint, I sold it... Should have kept the 3 1/2!

The Stradas are pricey now, never mind the Sports
I just think they're beautiful little bikes. Sound great too. Definitely a place for one in my fantasy garage.

Yeah, '76 Sport, wire wheel/discs (they only made that combination for one year). Matching frame & engine numbers, factory L5 camshaft, NLM Valentini 2 into 1, big carbs...

Yeah, he might sell it back to me when he gets too old to ride...
