Tasmanian Devils (GC)
« on: July 08, 2016, 04:53:17 PM »
Look who just dropped in at our place from Tasmania. Bought the bike sight unseen in Nova Scotia and so far, have ridden trouble-free, half way across the continent - the first part of their two month trip. It's a Loop-frame Guzzi, of course - the ultimate usable classic.

That's the combustion chamber of the turbo shaft. It is supposed to be on fire. You just don't usually see it but the case and fairing fell off.

I can't help but from that there should have been a third Loop there with those other two.  Maybe a blue one...

That would have been nice Shaun - but I wasn't sure of the dates. These folks are the real deal. For instance, in 1994 K rode her V7Sport around Australia solo  :bow:. Quite a gal.

 It is exceedingly rare that a mating pair are seen outside of their natural habitat. Nick , did you manage to sedate and tag them so we can track their movements ?

After resting briefly at their feeding grounds in Prince Edward County, I believe their migration will proceed generally westerly but have no real idea of their flight path. Patrick may have a better sense but they are flighty things, rarely settling in one spot for long.
