Dammit - I bought mine a year too soon!

Another Spanish 'later' one I see. They must have sold quite a few there. I bet it has a weird ignition canister 'thing' too.

There are loads of Morinis on the Spanish auction / sales sites - especially 350 Excaliburs and 250 Vees.

Hardly a rare bike

"A number have been modified with 350cc engines (they bolt straight in with modifications to the rocker cover) for Hill Climbing or surprising riders of larger bikes."

I couldn't possibly comment.

hehe, good one, even without mods...

Ps I saw a bare 250 frame (a single it seems) for sale near Verona, no paperwork. I could pass it on to anyone interested!

Best not Pete - I still have that photo of you at the Gooseneck the year you did the Mountain course on closed roads courtesy of the VMCC (such splendid chaps), you were just passing a BSA (?) 650 I recall...

Good riding,

Indeed Unfortunately, I think these days you only get to do a few laps of Jurby unless your machine has true racing pedigree. I was planning to take the GFR next year as it will be 25 years old, but I won't bother if I can't take it over the Mountain on closed roads.
