So many bikes, so little time and money! Ever since riding a Ballabio
this year at the Winchester open house, it's on my list of Top 5 Bikes
To Get If I Can. Light, powerful, great-handling, sits perfectly....
Here's my problem, as long as we're talking about why we can't have the
bikes we want....
Wants:
1. Moto Guzzi Nuovo Falcone
2. BSA A10 fitted up for touring
3. Guzzi Ballabio (Bright "Arrest-Me-Red")
4. Guzzi EV Touring
5. BSA B50 or M21
Have:
Guzzi Centauro, needs some minor repair from recent prang - $500
Guzzi Eldorado, doesn't need anything
BSA Firebird, needs engine rebuild, wheels, instruments, fix gas tank -
$1500
Morgan 4/4 - needs wiring replaced, new ignition, interior - $2000
Opel GT - needs body work, brake work, new clutch - $2000
1980 Jeep J10 Pickup - needs bodywork, new interior, new carb - $3000
All of these are queued up in the shop, ready to be worked on - so the
chances that I'll get a pass to add something ELSE to the queue before
these are dealt with are pretty slim and fading fast. I just need to
get busy, or need either a time machine to add 20 hours to each day, or
a printing press to print money with so I could pay someone else to do
the work.....
