Well the sig change is now official. Waved off the MilleGT/Squire RS3 just now. Nice guy bought it out of his personal injury fund after an accident on solo. Can't handle the weight of a solo anymore. He brought a Guzzi expert mate with him to give it a check out and ride it back home for him. Hoping the leading links will make it OK for him as he has lost a bit strength in one shoulder. Sorry to see it go, but he sounds as if he will give it the TLC it has been missing recently and ride it more than I ever would again. So now I just need to sort out the WR250 clutch. BTW this looks as if it needs a double contact single filament tail bulb (no brake light switch fore or aft) . Never come across one before but it will be a '209' by the look of a quick google. -- +-------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pete Fisher at Home: | | Voxan Roadster Gilera Nordwest Yamaha WR250Z | | Gilera GFR Moto Morini 2C/375 | +-------------------------------------------------------------+
So what are you replacing it with? In a similar vein, I recently saw a Guzzi 1100 Quota combination on ebay. If I'd had the money I'd have been tempted for a laugh.
It's amazing how much fun a crap old Ukrainian heap can be in the hands of a complete numpty. And how much noise it makes when the exhaust falls off.
Have you been watching me? I must confess that I am rather out of practice these days, since I stopped doing the full hill climb circus tour. In those days I lived in a narrow cul-de-sac and had to reverse the trailer into and up a steep narrow drive (too steep to unhitch and push). I got quite adept at it fortunately, so as not to piss of my neighbours who were coming and going too much. -- +-------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pete Fisher at Home: | | Voxan Roadster Gilera Nordwest Yamaha WR250Z | | Gilera GFR Moto Morini 2C/375 | +-------------------------------------------------------------+
I did once but I managed to kick the habit. Fond memories though of early adventures with an ME29 and connecting an Apple II to a serial printer port to suck data off it. Central IT seemed unimpressed by my two straightened out paperclips interface (worked though). -- +-------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pete Fisher at Home: | | Voxan Roadster Gilera Nordwest Yamaha WR250Z | | Gilera GFR Moto Morini 2C/375 | +-------------------------------------------------------------+
My old mate Toby (Champ knows who I mean) and I were 1981 sidecar hill climb champions at the Batley MCC Baitings Dam series on his Urinal. I was monkey. He used to purposely ride the back tyre over the grass to get it slippy so it would not bog down off the line. Naturally we were the only outfit that did all the meetings ;-) -- +-------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pete Fisher at Home: | | Voxan Roadster Gilera Nordwest Yamaha WR250Z | | Gilera GFR Moto Morini 2C/375 | +-------------------------------------------------------------+
They're available if you dig around. Not a terribly common fitment, but definitely out there. http://www.vintagecarparts.co.uk/en/list+electrical~auto+bulb/ B209.
