Hi, Do you think that's an earlier photo than yours ? The megaphone looks longer and no M1R's

Hi Cal, I know exactly when that photo was taken. After Jimmy won the 1985 BOTT race at Laguna Seca, my friend Giovanni Caruso (a very good friend of Reno, bike racer and enthusiast) bought the bike after the race. Reno then proceeded to remove the Kayaba RGB front end and replaced it with a 40mm Forcelle Italia. He also remove the endurance tank and put on the aluminum tank. Lucky for Giovanni and me the endurance tank began to leak so he swapped tanks back with him. That is Giovanni's driveway in Long Island. He also took the TT1 exhaust and put a Bub system on it. I still have the Bub somewhere, not in very good shape. I put on a replica TT1 exhaust. I'm also putting an RGB front end back on her. Other than that it's pretty much how it raced back in the day. I've done some other things to it but mostly just to clean her up. Lou

Hey Lou, Thats cool!! Who do you think is the Californian hanging out there?? I can't tell what the car is from the grille(the car in the driveway)....an import I think?? Maybe a Renault, Sterling, or something.
On the bike/the tail, if you look close you can see 26 behind/underneath the 1.

Those EPM:s in magnesium are pretty rare, are they not? What sizes? Google directed me to Magnis hompage, do they still manufacture them today? Seems like 18 inch only however.

The sizes on my bike are 16x4.25 rear, 16x3.5 front. I have 18inch rears and 16 inch fronts. They are nice wheels. The finish is durable so you rarely seem them oxidized. Never heard of one failing. I do think Magni still makes them, but I've never tried to order. Lou
