Sweet! I would never restore that, just make it mechanically and electrically sound and then ride it every chance I got. To me, it's perfect cosmetically - it fits in right between "too pretty to ride" and "so ugly I'm ashamed of it".
^^^This^^^It's perfect as is! Agreed!
A 1949 Moto Guzzi Airione (Astorino) arrived from California this morning, it has a life time of 'patina'. It is a 250cc. smaller than I thought it would be. It will get a full restoration, eventually ... lots of projects in the line.
What are those little boxes with what looks like keyholes at the top of the rear tire on either side for? They seem far too small for storing anything useful.
Nice! Knowing Jim here, and seeing all his work over the years, NO WAY can he leave it cosmetically “as is”.
Why is it that antique Harleys ,and Indians are worth more if left unrestored, and some other bikes are worth more restored? I personally dont get this "patina" thing. I like shiny.Rick.
That really is a great looking bike. I will probably spend hours staring at the pics studying how they were put together back then.
Wow! A real time machine there! Jim, do you know when it was last on the road?
Nice find Jim!, You may have already seen this, but if nothing else he's got some good close-ups for comparison.https://lasvegas.craigslist.org/mcy/d/1950-moto-guzzi-astore/6651971815.html Paul B
