Re: :-( Selling up :-(

A quick update. I took advantage of Ming's kind offer and enjoyed various local cheeses and wine with him and his wife last weekend. He's sold the K2 and the Strada to a local chap who was delighted to discover the Morinis. I rode the 250C which was lovely and far nicer overall than Ming described. ...

Re: Wanted 500 morini

There's one up for auction, in July, https://www.handh.co.uk/auction/lot/lot-1982-moto-morini-500-sei-v/?lot=55810 with an estimate of £3k to £4k. Several have sold this year so there seem to be some about... Good luck. I've a couple of 501's including one in a 350 K1 frame, it's physically smaller ...

So nearly 2 years on, does anyone on this forum own one of the X-cape's yet? Now they're actually for sale I'd love to hear of owners' experiences.

Re: Blown bulbs

Thanks Mark, does It matter which yellow wires are connected ? Also do you know which 12v battery fits the tray it's only 60mm wide? Regards Hugh The yellow wires are interchangable, the AC voltage is generated across any pair of them (I think you only have one pair). The rectifier in the regulator...

Re: Blown bulbs

Hugo,
I don't know exactly how to wire it in. Can you provide some details on the wires and their colours that come from the alternator and the wires and the colours on the regulator/rectifier you've obtained. These may help me and/or others to help you with working out the wiring connections.

Glad you had an excellent ride in Wales on your BMWs. I've also got an R80/7 project in the wings.

Re: National Road Rallys

I might do the National Road Rally, I am doing the Round Britain Rally, albeit I've only visited one of the locations so far this year. I did both last year and even combined the two by visiting a RBR location while doing the NRR. I've no need to cover the maximum distances or waypoints, I'm happy d...

Re: Blown bulbs

It sounds like your regulator isn't working correctly, which lead to excessive DC voltage toasting the various bulbs. I don't know if the headlight is powered by AC or DC on this model, nonetheless it sounds like it was similarly affected from your brief message. It should be doable to diagnose the ...

Re: Kingdom of Yorkshire meet up

Mike,
How did the day and the ride go? Sadly I wasn't able to join you because of some changes in my schedule that meant I needed to drive by car to Whitby yesterday instead of coming on a Morini.

Re: How many New Yorks in the USA?

Dear Mr. Harty, Thank you for your kind offer, but I will have to decline. I am a happily married man and I am not sure the position would be harmonious to matrimonial relations. I will stick with the 31/2 as this does not enter the equation. Once again, thank you for the kind offer. I beg to remai...
