Re: Dead Electrics

Most of the electrical problems I've had have been poor earth connections. I'm sure you know the ignition light's meant to stay on all the time.

Re: Welcome new forum members - introduce yourself

Welcome Mike. When you're recomissioning the bike, don't forget to replace the cambelt - it's only a 20 minute job.

Re: MOT on old bikes

No John, it's my fault: I bought a barbecue on Sunday. My Morinis have just reached historic age so no longer need MOTs. I'll get one anyway for the Sport because that's been largely taken apart and put back together again, and an independent check will be valuable. The Strada's always passed its MO...

PM me if you'd like me to get one for you (assuming they still stock them). Regards, Mark.

Re: Key blank for a 500 Camel

If they are the same as the 350s, Timpsons in the UK (high street locksmiths) stock them. They made one for my 3 1/2 Strada.

Re: Italian Motorcycle Enthusiasts TT Bike Show

Thanks for the invitation. We had a great turn-out of Morinis at the Classic TT in 2015 to celebrate the club's 40th anniversary, but the Italian Motorcycle meeting at Port Erin had to be cancelled. I hope you meet some this year!

Re: 400cc "kit"

My 350 Sport is actually about 400cc, Gilardoni barrels, and pistons which nobody has been able to identify; rather than the recesses in the piston heads being machined, they look cast, with rounded edges. It was used as a test bed by Alex at NLM in the early 90s.

Re: Martin Gelder Memorial Gathering June 8th 2019

I'm sorry I won't be able to attend, but I'll take my B33 out for a ride to remember Martin, as soon as I've got it running again.

Re: MRC 2019 Rally Arrangements

It was a really enjoyable event at a venue I'm sure we'll return to. (Now I know which side of the Severn the Lower Lode is on). Thanks to everyone who came and helped make it such a good rally.

Lovely photos, thanks. (The proper habitat for a Heron is in the cylinder head of a Morini 3 1/2. )

Seventyplus: the Morini Riders Club will have a stand at Stafford, in the main hall upstairs, near the bar. Come and say hello.
