NJ Nick posted yesterday that he was on his way to Mandello .... don't suppose you guys crossed paths?

[jacksonracingcomau]

Cheers, Chuck
Couple for you here , is another crate motor waiting for a Lario, others just random

[Tusayan]

The V7 Sport with small block engine is an interesting one - presumably a mid-70s engine development test bike, but for some reason using a model that was long out of production by the mid-70s.  Maybe so nobody out on the road would look closely?

Front engine bolt is conspicuous by it’s ?




And an obligatory pose outside factory

[Huzo]

We’re you at the cafe when you took this shot..?

Well Nick posted again in the NJ forum and included a photo. He was at the museum yesterday since the damn thing is only open an hour you must have been there at the same time.

Edit- oh wait it's the open house? The one time a year it's open longer. Never mind.

[Dilliw]

Manfredo is there too.  He was going to meet up with Nick

That has to be proper welsh punctuation, sorry I don’t understand
Where ? I am in shot, the good looking one
We are ?
We are you ?
We were ?
Never mind but first time here I haven’t been found by someone who knows me, loads more pics but it’s about to kick off, some mad rules this year, can’t buy glass or cans in shops only cask wine. Glass from bar, no problem
Then police told us off for walking on grass, not going to hold water tonight, Few more people here now
Report tomorrow, maybe, calm will prevail

[Huzo]

Ha !
Good one. It should read , “were you at the cafe...”

Thought you might have got the welsh bit
Not sure if you know but your stage name is proper (transported) cockney banter  from early 1800’s
Taffs were all Jones, Evans and especially Hughes, of course they called everyone boyo
Husghso obviously nickname

Pissing down here this morning, traditional for this rally, campers will be a little damp, cosy in our house but.

V85 draw later, might not be many of us left for it, we’re here till Wednesday, should fine up for ride back to London

This one even better, work out the bits, lots of oe stuff from many models, converter plate may be same as museum one

[Chuck in Indiana]

^^^^That looks suspiciously like the Aero engine valve cover..

One of Torri's enduro race bikes ! So many interesting details on this one .....

I could spend an evening or two listening to the why’s of most of them, no doubting quality of work but some of the reasoning is way over my head.

Last shot for now, we got a lot here today, I’ll get the rest when developed !

I asked an employee about that bike last year. He said it was experimental. Very cool experiment!!!

Check out that Roguish looking devil in the Guzzi T shirt..
