You are right Carlo, but the Forum, in it's entirety, is a time machine for all of us. We all deal with Covid, politics and uncertiainty. Then we go to the garage, close the door, have a warm cup, turn on some music, and are transported back to the times we enjoyed the most! Keep it going folks! I'll dig up my Monza Junior picture.

This was my first European bike, a 1978 Moto Morini 350 Sport.

I was T-boned by an elderly lady on my 24th birthday (remember then anyone?) and got another to restore, never did, and finally got a replacement in 1999. I still have that Morini and will not let it go until I can ride no longer and get tired of looking at it.

450, this was run over by a VW beetle ....
so it turned into a track bike.

Agreed!
Enter Garage doors is like enter a time machine or a parallel world.
Oh well in our case is a L-twin world.
