Actually I like yours, but it's not finished. I posted the other one as I've just learned (after 8 fucking years ) how to post pictures bigger than thumbnails.

Here, have another..........

They all look fantastic..........apart from that cafe racer dropped handle bar malarky. I'm far too old for that - the rest of it but with sit up and beg bars would be even better (IMHO). The rest of each bike is stunning

The young ladies adorning them are also passable

Thats what I wanted to trun my Spada into.....But it is too original and all there to do it It would be sacrilidge to do it.
Tonti frame, round barrels, ticks all the right boxes for that exact look......And even at 98KM on the clock, she sounds lovely

If I don`t get 1500 squids for her though, I will cut her up.
I reckon the original panniers are worth a fair bit.

It wouldn't be sacrilege, if you end up with something that you are proud to own and ride.
If it only stands you at £1500, you may as well use it as a base and flog all the genuine parts to finance the build.

Get the grinder out mate.

£1500... You should get that easy..... I'm tempted

I've been following this one on flea bay............... but I can't get on with the colour

Plus it's too much of a bitsa and has no paperwork Still went for £1650 though

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230721171401? ... 885wt_1270

And it has the wrong shape barrels Looks shit.

Maybe I am aiming my sights too low on the price front, as I have all paperwork to authenticate it for what it is.
Only needs a new horn relay and it would MOT

Mojo could be right though.....But I have a Mack that needs my attention right now......I don`t fucking know what to do really......
And the Guzzi money would only be turned into six lorry tyres

Tell it like it is...
