Let's see your bikes

Post by SteveMRC »

What else, apart from a Morini, do you have tucked away in the garage?

Here's mine to start with, For commuting to work on every day, a real sheep in wolves clothing :wink: a Yamaha XT660X

and for sunny weekends and longer journeys a BMW Rockster

This photo/internet/sharefile thing is all a bit 'high tech' to me, but hopefully here you should see one of my other toys - which is a 1997 Honda Pan European ST1100.

We used this to tour northern Italy last year, and I have been using it in our present winter conditions, rather than subject the Corsaro to the salt.

Great bike - easy to ride, comfortable, reliable and just competent whatever the conditions or load.

Norton Commando

Post by mms »

Another toy !

This is my 1974 Norton 850 Commando MkIIa.

Great bike, one which I have had for some time now, and perfect for summer evening rides along the Co. Antrim coast road from Glenarm up to Ballycastle. No traffic, very little straight lines, beautiful scenery and 60mph suits the road and the bike.

And - even though you wanted 'non morinis' - I couldn't resist this picture of my 2006 Corsaro (now with all of the upgrades thanks to great service from 3X) with my wife Mary's 350 Strada in Perigord, France in 2007.

Micheal;

Lovely picture of the Corsaro / 3.5 - needs to be sent to David Masrlow for next years calendar (please?)...

On another topic - we're over for the NW200 later this year - riding around the NW coast for a day prior - is that a possible meet up? It always nice to hook up with other Morini riiders, let alone Corsaros!!! :)

Good riding,

NW 200 and Morinis

Post by mms »

Chris,

Would be happy to meet up when you are over for the North West 200 in May.

Send me a pm closer to the time and we can exchange contact details.

By the way - any club members thinking of coming over with their bikes can give me a shout for help with accomodation or itineries etc, or just to have a contact number in case a bit of Morini TLC is required.

I can recommend the roads around here, and don't forget Northern Ireland doesn't need Euros - so good for 'credit crunch' holidays!

I'd be happy to take any spare Euros you might have laying about the place. Last time I went to France I took the wine with me and came back with.....a cold.
