Dream realised.......
 

...... in 1975 I toyed with the idea of buying a Morini 3 and a 1/2 or an Aermacchi 350...... never did and regretted it ever since.

Today I've treated myself to a '74 Aermacchi.....

I AM a happy bunny.

Anybody else got any good news.

er........WTF are they?:D

Spen, you b*stard !
Its a roadster not a racer I take it.
Post a pic then and show these young whipper-snappers some old italian style.

Stand by...........

'Ere y'are............

But its a Hardley Desirable :puzzled:

Takes me right back to days ogling in Bryants of Biggleswade and Coburn & Hughes in Luton.

Its always interesting to see bits of othe bikes peeping out of pics too !
I didnt know you did trials too Spen.
Anything that has 2 wheels and an engine is it :P

Started trialling in 1972. Still love it. Mainly Pre-65 stuff.

Gas Gas in the background is my eldest daughters bike.......

You say that like you're surprised.............

Pleased for you,there was a girl Rocker who lived up the rode from me when I was younger who had a Morini 3 1/2 sport,always thought they were gorgeous,heron heads and all that:)

That's my next purchase for my museum...........

...... there's several things I want to do, main one is get Rushjob to get a round in...........:bouncy:

Somethings are just not possible:lol::lol:

It's good to have a dream though..............

Call me Mr Blasphamous, but Morini 3 1/2's would lose all of their paint and chrome as soon as you got them out of the showroom, and Aermacchi's...while there's no questioning the way they went/go.. I always thought they looked like a big Honda 90!:lol::lol:
Always nice to have a dream realised though!
Are you going to take the Hardly Movingson logos off the tank?

Definitely not. Part of the bike's history....... do people remove Cagiva from their old Ducati's??

I remember them, had a Ducati Mach III at the time and always wondered whether to swap. Ended up swapping for a Bonneville 650 in the end......

Now you mention it... Cool all the same though, if only 'cos it's not yet another Suzuki K5 (et al)

Always wanted a 3 1/2.....

I was -6 :lol:

Towards the end of 1975 ....

.... I was born!

:lol:

I had a toolbag on my back and was getting coal out of the ground...........

In 1975 I got married-and I wasn't that young then either...........:o

Nice bike Spen, I always wanted an Aermacchi as well-seen a couple on the CRMCC board but they are serious money.

John

I was offered one in race trim for £15,000.............:o

I'd forgotten about them!

With a nice ally tank and race fairing they look the business.

I saw a Morini for sale at stafford recently - very tempted until I saw a lovely Gilersa Saturno for £1800 ( I think ) but realised that I couldn't afford either.

Well done for buying it.

Phil

Always nice to hear of people realising their dreams, whatever they may be - many congrats Spen.

:burn: Ta very much......... now to get that drink out of Rushjob.......:devil:

Bring it on....... :P

:roll:

He always buys me one when we're at Gunthorpe...praps you need to turn up now and again...yr dream might come true!:P

I wouldn't be able to drink it anyway if you were there, I only dribble in your company.............:devil:

I bought my dream bike a few years back, a 76 kwak z900. I found that I could not live with it as an only bike and could not afford more than one machine so it had to go.

That's sad.

I've got 17 (useable) bikes now and would hate to have to get rid of any of them, or even the ones that don't run............
