Hey Bump, this is tomorrow 12-4pm
I'm ready- See you there, man.
Dang Clint, made some headway I see! Do you know Earl? He will be there tomorrow... big boisterious hippy guy on an R.Crumb Ambo.. He would be a good person to connect with in your search for hard-to-find V700/loop parts
I’ve a lot going on but I’m going to try and come up on my CB1000C
real nice survivor Monza 250 with original paint... This would have been my pick for 'Best Italian' if I were judging. I wasnt as mad about it as Cliffrod tho! I dont know enough about Ducati's to see what the deal was with the 450 that won. I just thought this bike was cool, funky, and in great unrestored/preserved shape.This Nimbus hack won 'Best German' since they were occupied at the time of production- so it qualified! Cool bike. Owner was happy to chat about it all day. Very charismatic machine.
Yeah, I know... I probably would have been less wrinkled if that dude hadnt parked next to me and gone on all day about that 450 and how rare it is. I forgot to mention I had to wipe the continuously dripping oil (from exhaust port) off of the cases to notice the case numbers were partially filed off...The 250 Monza is a nice little bike. I worked on it up at the shop a few years ago just after he got it & helped him get acquainted with these singles. Later I did a magazine article on it for my monthly column. The last time I talked to the owner (great guy), he had gotten a real 450 Mark3 Desmo plus more. Knowing he had an original street 450 Desmo made my meltdown neighbor even more relevant..I was going to ask about the Nimbus as well but missed the owner before he disappeared into the crowd. There was one in the shop for work several yrs ago, unrestored with spray bomb monochrome paint iirc, after it came out of long storage. Wondered if that mid be the same bike many yrs and many many $$$ later. Not very common around here. But it didn't have a sidecar then.
