Title: "Storney Weather"
Post by: Cam3512 on December 27, 2015, 08:29:17 PM
With temps in the mid 60's again here in south Jersey, I opted for a longish ride on the '67 Stornello Scrambler.  I hadn't give it any serious time since the last Spring Giro.  Ran great for 71 miles, including some undiscovered dirt and gravel roads.  I've gotta do something with the seat and 48 year old foam, my 50 year old arse was killin' me!   Great day, and the Storney ran like it should after sitting idle for 7 months.  Not much HP, but the bike really tries it's damnest.

Great pics Cam! The Stornello looks great, too. :thumb:  That seat foam looks huge, one would think it would be plush and comfy. Great weather up in the Garden State right now...enjoy, my friend, we are freezing our ass off here in AZ!

Beautiful Storney!

It's wonderful to get reacquainted with an old friend.

Very cool. I haven't ridden mine since the Giro. I think I'm gonna go the Powerdynamo route on mine over the winter.
