We rode down from Rochester; it was a gorgeous day, and the Finger Lakes have some great riding. Sorry this took a while; it's been some time since I've posted pics.
We were very surprised at the Guzzi turnout; a lot there.

I'm not sure...an Eldo?:


Yes, and Eldo, with 1000cc jugs.

An older 850T (you might see I'm not all that up on some of the older stuff)?:

Actually that special isn't a Norvin , rather a Norumph , or more commonly called a Triton  :laugh:

 What do you call a Norton featherbed special powered by a Sportster motor ??

A very pretty NorVin, with neat little fiddly details:



NorVin?

Looks like maybe a pre-unit Triumph in a Ducati frame? Or wideline Featherbed.

See? This is why I try not to ID older stuff. :laugh:
That old Brit was real neat, though; someone really sweat the details.
There was also an old rat cafe CB200T, too.

It is a Featherbed , W/0 measuring can't tell if it is a slimline or wideline , only difference is hidden .

 Dusty

Rear triangle going up to the upper shock mount is different. Wideline is straight up like this bike and Slimline has a curve.

Let me know if I need to post pics.

No need , I should have gone back and looked at the side shot . The engine appears to have the aluminum cylinders and most of the factory race kit installed . Pretty exotic .

 Dusty

I missed the side shot too. Distracted by the V7 Sport below it.  :boozing:

What's the front brake? It looks similar but not the same as the V7 one.

That brake is a puzzle , maybe a one off custom backing plate . Anyone know ?

I want to say Laverda but I'm just guessing.
