Really not sure what is next.

I did this one to keep and use, but another Lambretta is very very tempting or something really different (but not French....)
I need to actually ride it and see if I still like 2 wheels with mad people on the roads today.

I wont miss the will it will it not start, or keep going, and such like, it has been hard on the heart and soul.

Pause for thought I think. :)

Apropos the above post, AJ Foyt being hassled by Dan Gurney...

On the front quarter you can just read '1st in '63' – this photo with Foyt was taken in 1964. Gurney won again but was disqualified for having shims under the valve springs of the 36hp engine...
