Moto Guzzi V9 & Watsonian and other stuff.

A previous venture in multiple configurations over a dozen years.

 I was asked about a leaner article so stayed up late going over my 12 year or so multi build.

Got to review what happened in my life over the same period.

Some good some not so.

Cool rig for a lot of reasons!  Like the idea of where the tow ball is mounted.  😎 

A very informative video.

Edit it can only be watchhed in Utube. 

2 good to be true.

Could have put this under where have you been. But needed to keep my thread so I could find it.  

So that's the mileage on the front tire so far.

Seen below parked 8n front of a local jetty.... er now a land bridge.

Went out to see if I could find an aircleaner option locally for the mighty CH250.

I've been saying the Honda is 30.... um. No.

Like me it's gained another decade this year.

Marbles.... can't have to many it seems.

9k so today I called in at Dennis's. 

1926 Royal Enfield 1000cc in a Vee.

Previous owner left it outside for 40 or more years.

Dennis had been after him to sell it for years. 

Miserable old coot is still hanging on to the original sidecar.

It's mostly rust and a chassis so why hang on to it?

There's a lot of old guys that have stuff and cling to it.

I suppose me to now.

Bruce, that equates to 13,777.7 Miles on that front tire, which is pretty good.

And, don't think for a second that we missed that IOM banner on the wall behind the 1926 Royal Enfield.

IOM = Isle of Man

4.5 metres. 

That was the start of the day, going to pick this up for a mate.

A bit of nonsense fun.

Then it got as sad as things get when we buried my niece aged 46.

But today the rainbow showed there's hope yet.

My "LIKE" above is for that 4.5 meter jousting stick your Moto Guzzi/Watsonian rig carried.

And for the Rainbow, a sign from your Niece that she is in a happy place.

Sincere condolences to your family & her friends.  

Thank you both.

Went and saw a nephew's son (14) win his grand final basketball game Saturday.

Good therapy.

And last night watched his cousin same age, play some classic guitar.

Not to forget his younger sister (10) who was doing an awesome pencil portrait of her class photo.

Kicking myself for not grabbing a pic and a video of the music.

Bruce, you have a very talented family, as well as yourself,  the Journeyman Fabricator.
