The Moto-Guzzi Nuovo Falcone VOC

Took the NF down to Dichindad last week to visit an old school friend who rebuild this 17th (?) century coaching inn from a pile of rubble. Took over 30 years, but well worth the effort

He pulled out this photo, donated by someone who used to live there before it fell into ruin, of a gentleman on an early 20th century bike setting off from outside the same location.

I've done a bit of detective work, and it seems to be an OHV BSA 350 single from the mid twenties.

It's nice to have a bit of motorcycling continuity at such a historic place.

I look a wee bit too old for that, and not nearly as good looking...
