Hey Nick that is one fab looking beast and quite rare, I've never see one before. Hope you share many amazing adventures

 

[The Don]

very rare bike! Shiny! well done

 

[Paul-S]

That looks stunning Nick

When I were a lad (said in a Yorkshire accent) One of my favourite looking bikes was a Guzzy T-3 California. One of the bike I always dreamed of owning (till I got into racing and all that type of bike went out of the window)

Because they are italian and dissolve overnight if left wet for more than 20 mins

nice bike mate , enjoy

Wow! That's a corkin' looking bike you have there.

So, how long until we get a proper ride report? Not that I'm impatient or anything.

Thanks for the kind comments folks. It will still be my 'work' bike - the bike I jump on and push the button if I have to be somewhere distant in a hurry. The Eldorado and the Nuovo Falcone will still get to play in the dirty stuff, but never fear, it won't stay shiny for long.

Not gonna stay that clean for long Nick

Nice one Nick. Get it booked onto an Air Canada flight over here so we can all drool over it.

That may have to wait for a while Austin. In the meantime, I have serious work making sure the grass doesn't grow up on some of these roads. Breakfast ride this morning (including Chaffey's Lock Road and Devil Lake Road which you may remember).

Hey Nick, awesome looking bike but can you please fit something like TKC's when the tyres wear out. It would look a right thug then.

 

[Kjell Lindberg]

That is one of the bikes I would love to own.
Sadly they have become to expensive, and they are rare at least here in Sweden.

 

[nick949]

I can just see myself getting up to stuff like this 200 miles from anywhere...............

That's a lovely little playground they have there. I'd love to have a go at it...

Great video Nick. At 280kg it looks like momentum wins the day.

Yep, it's no light weight.

I rode Devil Lake Road in the rain on Tuesday. My erstwhile shiny bike is now covered in concrete.............

Nick, I'm hoping that this will not be a case of "us being a bad influence on you" but the opposite - you being a good influence on us.

Your telling of some of your exploits should really be an encouragement for us to get out and explore more - I know I should, as there's loads of really out of the way places here in Ireland that I really should get off my backside and go and find.

Anyway, keep up the good work.
