Moving into the 21st. century.
My dear wife has told me to get up to date and join the forum properly-I'm already "active" on the A.J.S. and Vincent Forums!! I am sure quite a few of you know me already-I ride a dart {thank you Arthur!}, an import 500 and an x1 Kanguru. We all hope the financial situation of Morini will improve soon-anyone care to invest a few million Euros? {Chris?} My bikes are all running nicely at the moment, but as soon as I have a problem I know where to seek help! Alan {morini} Jennings-that's an "in joke" on the A.J.S. forum}.

Even on the "morinis", Buzby,I have left and right changes!! The Vincent and A.J.S. are the same-but my old B.S.A. has a hand change-no twistgrip and rear brake on the right like a"jap" bike! It is a bit o a challenge sometimes!! Steve-lights "fitted" but not "gassing"-I've cheated for the moment and put l.e.d.s inside them! Now I must find a "Morini" topic to discuss!

21st century.
That was a"barbed" arrow, Thomas! I don't think 120 b.h.p. is my "thing"!-I hope , all being well that Morini will make a smaller, less powerful bike that will suit the more "Senior" members of the "club"-but I do realize that is not where the present market is!!

Smaller Morini
Well Mark you will have to make do with a 350 for the girl friend. I see why Alan prefers the smaller Vs. I went to work on the Strada today in damp cold conditions. No worries about power slides with the little bike, rock steady never drifting from a chosen line. Hopefully Mark once we have changed those standard tyres our 9 1/2's will behave themselves when the road conditions become a little tricky.

Well actually Alan, maybe I should dispute your entitlement to use 'Alan Morini Jennings'alan j wrote: Now I must find a "Morini" topic to discuss!
My claim to the title 'Steve Morini' goes back to 1977 on the Isle of Anglesey. I can provide witnesses to this fact too. For a whole year, lots of locals thought that was my real name. It came about by accident and I didn't even know it had happened until I wrote a cheque out to one of my friends. Some still thought it was my name and I quite liked it so didn't make too much of a fuss.
I'll see you on Sunday, we can discuss the court case then.
Led's eh? Tch Tch, could prosecute you for that too laddie. Any legal types here to comment? No win no fee, or just no fee
Unfortunately Paul I think it will be a Suzuki Gladius for her when the time comes, but you never know what these companies are thinking.
Glad to here your still getting out on the wee bike, think mine is off the road for this year, weather is just getting too bad.
Power slides are fun but scary the the time the 9 1/2 did it on me so yeah change of tyres is a must.
Sorry for getting off topic

9 1/2: by no means a lesser Corsaro
