Yes the BMW styling has in my mind always been a Mystery it has gotten better is fair to say ... and in the 60 ies was OK at least acceptable. ..more or less
but at other times ..something for Ronald MC Donald
or other Clowns ...Coming around the corner to the lads on that ..as the new ride.. The laughter would have made it onto the Richter scale
Ray Charles would have made it better gap between wheel and fender..pretty much the size of the wheel ... for heavens sake..

I got this ride as well - in my view not a good looking bike - the GS is probably the ugliest bike I ever owned, however that being said it’s also the best ride I ever owned, unfortunately don’t get to ride it as much as I would like to

I knew a girl that fit that description.

A bike from the 1970s with a unique appeal - it was an exotic Italian, a pocket rocket which was said to punch above its weight, sometimes called a 350cc superbike at a time when mainstream bikes were getting bigger and heavier. I saw a few around and even visited a dealer in Edinburgh who sold them but I didn't buy one and never rode one.

The Sport version of the Moto Morini 3½ looked to be a lovely little bike, clip-ons, rear-sets, seat hump, a factory Café racer.

Too much of a coincidence Raymond! Currently offered at auction online with no reserve!

It's not far from me, if you win, I'll go get it and "hold it for ya"

44 Years ago today, July 11, 1978, I bought this little Bultaco 125 Streaker with the intent of riding it. I still have that intent, just haven't fired it up yet...:whistle:


Happy 44th Birthday...

The bike that changed my life for the better. A friend taught me how to ride on it and let me ride in the fields near my home (Thanks Rich!) Hooked on bikes ever since.
