Arse ~!
« on: January 14, 2018, 03:20:50 pm »
Arse !   

I have a Moto Guzzi, a California Titanium, it's a like new 2003 with less than 4000 miles but it's not what I really want.     If I cant find a nice big single here in Canada ( unlikely ) I will import one.    The NF's are very nice, but the Alces and Superalces are even nicer.  I would be happy with any of the above, I will have to wait see what turns up.

 Happy to be here :)

In Holland is a Nuovo Falcone for sale. It's also advertised on the German  NF forum : Falcone Club De. The guy is trustworthy.

Thanks !

I have found a place in Italy that has a selection of very nice looking machines including a  Nuovo Falcone. The prices seem to be keener than elsewhere.

Hi,
the proposed bikes are both nice,

the Blu NF had a fair price,

the SuperAlce with sidecar is price worth;

Congratulation for your sidecar ;)

P.S.
on e-bay it or subito.it you can find plenty of NF

€ 5000,- without shipping :-). It's a Civile ( red frame and white tank)
The bleu one looks nice and affordable.

Welcome Mick; I guess you need to be really sure what it is you're looking for and why.
NFs are increasing rapidly in price as demand exceeds supply, but are still far more affordable than earlier singles, which still are considered far more 'classic'. What exactly are you expecting from a big single, and what do you want to do with it?
I bought mine because it was cheap, not classic and not precious.
Unfortunately, since then, it's become expensive, classic and too precious to hack about too much, but I've had 15 years of slow, cheap fun in between.

I'm looking for a classic big single that nobody else has, the quirkier the better. I very much doubt there are any old Moto Guzzi singles in Saskatchewan. I intend to get pleasure from maintaining and plodding around on it when the weather is good. 

PS, I have noticed that a lot of bikes with sidecars in Italy have the sidecar on the left, the only reason I can think of is that it makes it easier to mount a sidecar so it can be started.   Or is there something else that I'm missing ?

Well, they're Italian, aren't they? Lancia continued to build right hand drive cars well into the fifties, 30 years after Mussolini imposed driving on the right. There's a school of thought that there were safety benefits in sitting next to the kerb in the barrier-less mountain roads, but that could be urban myth. Perhaps they had the same thinking for bikes. I've seen a photo of a 1930s Harley outfit in Czechoslovakia which was fitted with a factory left hooker sidecar, which must have been specially made for the market, even though they drove on the right, so perhaps what we consider as conventional wasn't set in stone at the time.
