MRC Forum- brought to you by www.morini-riders-club.com

Due to various reasons I need to sell my Morinis, and have not had a lot of interest over here. They are a 1975 A3 Strada, bought from NLM about 19 years ago ( lightened Kanguro crank, nikasil cylinders, gas flowed heads), paint by Dream Machine - had been Sportised, but made more comfortable for my...

I think you are looking at part number 54, which is shown as costing €4.40 - and they are in stock!

Ah, perhaps I was typing with a French accent?

Perhaps ”yes, it will still run as normal” is more comprehensible.

Er - if your battery is low, regulator will not work. Ignition is not connected to the battery, as I said. Or do you have a modified system ?

On a standard system, ignition is separate from power, you can run without battery and lights. But, a flat battery will stop the regulator from working as it needs a reference voltage.

I have a complete bike you could have if you are interested (3, in fact). Prices seem to be much lower over here, too.

Most Autoroutes are fast, far more attractive and emptier than UK ones. Most drivers are still biker friendly. Petrol i...

In France, if you have no CoC, it’s difficult too. The easiest option for most of the earlier models is to register as a Véhicule de Collection via the FFVE. It’s an easy process, but the vehicle must be at least 30 years old. I think there is a similar organisation in Italy. I presume you have trie...

Welcome. Nice bike, get the problems sorted, clean and ride - don’t worry about polish.

I can vouch for Motobatt. Starts my K2 Sport easily (but so does kick). I also have one on a BMW R850R, which need lots of CCA!

Norbert, tools for cutting threads. Tap for an inside thread (nut), die for an outside thread (Bolt or screw).

Why the past tense? I recall all sorts of dire predictions for bikes and bikers over the last 50 years. I'm still riding, including à ’56 Bantam, and see no reason to stop, even if it means swapping to battery powered bikes. We’re too small a minority without a big enough ’media’ presence to make an...
