MRC Forum- brought to you by www.morini-riders-club.com

Hi folks,

I have to make room in the garage so I am selling some stuff:
- Granpasso 2009, comes with higher screen and heated grips. Approx 30000 km's, tyres are as good as new, oil and filter changed last year. Asking 7500 euros. Selling because I got myself a Scrambler

- 3 1/2 Strada 1975, running okay, pulls nicely. Looks are okay but it needs either a restoration or just ride it without worrying if you brand new paint gets scratched. 95% original, with original Dutch license and matching numbers (for what it's worth). Head stock bearings needs replacing, I've got two cups of a Camel that you can use to fit conical bearings (I'm almost sure they'll fit, I have them on my own '74 Strada which is almost similar). Asking 2500,- euros

And! Last but not least, for the true Morinifan, these parts to personalize your Excalibur:

Looking for a 1000 pounds, this is rare stuff gentlemen!

Heh, that looks just like my very first Strada bought new in 1975. So tempted, but a bit far to come and collect it.

556 km according to mr. Google, that's not too far

Those '22 miles' between Dover and Calais add considerably to the cost if using a car and trailer

I think we should build a dam over there (with a fly-over halfway for changing lanes )

park the car & trailer at the ferry docks and come across without... arrange to have the bike delivered at the Dutch docks

Still got to pay for a solo motorcycle and rider crossing!

Anyway, I found a photo of mine. A scan of a scanned transparency that I can't find the original of so excuse the quality. It was only a few months old then but note the smoke from the rear cylinder!

Nice! I always love the pictures from that era.
The smoke must be water or did you still have the chokes on?

And what hendre said about delivering: since a couple of months I have a van and can drop the bikes and parts of at any harbour...

I wouldn't have ridden it with a choke on but it could be just 'steam'. Strange it only seems to be from the rear cylinder though.

You are very persuasive, but I shouldn't really buy another Morini until I have sold the Corsaro and probably also one of the Gilera GFR125s (who needs two ? ).

That's what I was thinking

If you're talking early photos Pete....

I'm guessing that this is 1981 or '82?

82 or 83. Probably 82. The first year the 2C/375 went to the Island. Not just one of the regular jetting/needle tweaking sessions, although having the tank up suggests a needle notch experiment. I guess it was also because of the headlight falling off, again - plus ça change eh? Note no indicators as I was riding it occasionally in hill climbs then.

Hi guys, fyi I have a friend coming over to the UK end of march with a van and he can bring one of the bikes (or parts) along for a small fee. He'll be in the Bedford area for a week.

The 3 1/2 is sold and on it's way to the UK

Hi folks, I really need room in the shed, the GP can go for the ridiculously low price of 5 k Euro's, approx 3500 GBP.

PM me if you want to know more...
