Just me. Guzzi riding old bloke, a bit bewildered Conflicted with depression & social anxiety, trying to be a better man. I'll persist. Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

It's an A8 with essentially a Z650 front end and a stronger frame, so doesn't try to chuck you through the nearest hedge *quite* as badly ๐Ÿ˜‚
Still pulls like a train though. ๐Ÿ‘

Also this, what a refined engine for the 1960s.

Just taking some promotional photos in front of an old coaching inn, had to ride the bikes there as the van has thrown a front wheel bearing.

Thankfully, after a life of chasing the wage packet and the stress of it all, being treated as a minion by many, I now work with a very good friend, mutual respect, awareness of each other's triggers (he's also had a beating in work) and cooperation to do good work on motorbikes. We're loving it. ๐Ÿ‘

Be aware, brass spoke nipples can (depending on use, experience was with a CRF-300) pull out their threads.
Just one to watch for.

I got a pair of motorcycle footpegs, very inexpensive, swift delivery and the castings bore the same marks as the OE Yamaha ones. ๐Ÿ‘
