are you still looking for these parts?

The original purchaser of this Sport has found both the manual & original bill of sale. If you now own this bike you can get some of its history by contacting ijedgar@hotmail.com.

Apart from the earliest spoked wheel Stradas (which have 6 bolts) all Morinis use a standard 5 bolt rear sprocket fitting with the same sized central hole and bolt offsets. Sprockets are available straight out of the catalogue; obviously, dealers won't have every variation of their shelves but they ...

the correct chain is 106 links of 520 chain. That's with the standard sprockets of 14/47 teeth

Next Monday, June 28th, is Cassington Bike Night. Held in the village of Cassington in Oxfordshire, it is a relaxed meeting of bikes of all makes & ages organised by the Bloodrunners, a charity bike club/organisation which delivers emergency blood supplies. There have always been a few Morinis t...

I can't make this year's rally due to a septic finger but it's good to see that Brits are venturing over the waters and that it's a different bunch from those of us who went to Bologna last October. Morinis are bikes meant to be ridden and we should be getting off our island at least once a year to ...

Time to settle final arrangements. I have 10 names - some not confirmed because they've not been in touch. We owe the Dutch club the courtesy of knowing how many will attend. Just turning up is impolite and could easily upset plans so please contact me if you are even just thinking of going. Remembe...

If you still want bar end weights try Disco Volante. They do them for £20 with weights from 150gr to 350gr

Hi, I've been a bit slow in catching up with this. If you're in the MRC and in the UK or Eire please send me a private message so that I can co-ordinate numbers & travel detail. I say that because if you live on mainland Europe you don't need my help! But Irish & british members might want t...

The VJMC are organising the 2010 Cardiff Motorcycle Show on 9th May. Is anyone interested in displaying as an individual or running a small stand? If so let me know and we could arrange some publicity material and products to offer. More information at http://www.southwalesvjmc.co.uk/show2010.html t...

Alan,

I've asked our membership secretary to look into this; you should have received ATG 306.

Where's the nearest bike parking?

How about prizes for:
- furtherest travelled?
- furtherest on a bike?
- furtherest on a Morini?

I fitted progressive springs from NLM and have no problem with them - the ride is softer at small loads then firms up with higher loadings. It was certainly at least as good at the MRC track day last year. The springs fitted without the 8.5cm spacer and just a slight bit of compression (one hand eno...

Paul, tell us more! I have SS engine bolts and twice had problems with them loosening. Two years ago at Cadwell and this year going to Cassington. What difference does SS make? By the way, loose rear bolts are most noticeable at slow speeds (and knock like a big-end going), getting smoother as the r...

I'm not sure about old wire becoming brittle but I have had a number of problems caused by spade connectors breaking. The curled bit on one side of the "female" half breaking so it looks OK but isn't making a full connection. While you're at it make sure you have a good earth connection to...
