Hi Ian,
Thanks! Non-descript is definitely not a word that will be used to
describe my '72. :-) Wanted to do something a bit different than the old
worn-looking '69 I've been riding for the last seven seasons. Looking
through Mario Columbo's "80 Years Of Moto Guzzi" book and seeing the
picture of the civilian Nuovo Falcone in white w/red frame sealed it for
me. Decided then I was going to do it that way. Seem to remember a Loop
done in the same combination by Junior's Restorations(?) that I had
admired before also.

Maybe an added benefit of the blinding chrome and polished stainless,
retina-searing red powder and loud Hella horns will be that some of the
cellphone talking, centerline crossing, red light running morons on the
road nowadays will see (and hear) me! One can only hope anyways. :-)
Cheers,

Charlie,

Bike looks terrific. I like the red...very different than what I am
doing with my "Baretta" Eldo. My bike will be very non-descript with gun
metal grey colour. I am trying to think of a way to "tastefully" add
some green/white/red italian colours to add a little character. Anyone
know of where I might be able to get pinstriping?

I'll post some pics to my site soon.

Ciao...Ian
