1935 GTS Out For A Putt
« on: May 31, 2022, 06:28:53 PM »
This bike always amazes me with just how well it putts down the road.  Guzzi singles are very smooth!  They certainly had it figured out.

Wow Dave... beautiful motorcycle.  Always amazes me to see such old bikes look so pristine and run so good. You're right... MG really did have it all together back then.

Exceedingly lovely sir. Where is your waist coat?

Pg. 31, Mick Walkers' 'Engineering on the Shores of Lake Como'. Mustard cover w/yellow V11 Sport.
 
On page 31 is my old friend, Peter Zurchers' GT 500 @ Isle of Man. Note the wide bars. Peter is Swiss, based near Zurich He's been all over Europe; even freighted the bike to Bangkok for vacation.
A short ride on the tail rack (w/cushion), and I wanted one, badly.  Good fortune,   R3~
