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 - |
Now Chuck was making a joke guys, but I just had the horrifying thought
that someone might think I was offering these things for sale at the
prices indicated......NO NO NO .....this is how much I figure I'll need
to spend to get them back on the road in fine fettle.
Come to think of it though, I'd let the Opel and the Jeep go at what
it's going to take to fix 'em up. Now THAT's a depressing thought....
sam, no need in apologizing, I've always wanted one of those Harley 45s
too, for those days when I just feel like plonking and there's no
highways on the agenda....
