Hi Rich,

You will find a membership form on this site.
Just £26.00 should secure your membership to 1st November 2014.
Most people do the old fashioned cheque and membership form in the post.
What do you get for your money? Well above all you get the chance to ride and meet other Morini riders.
For instance this year you could have enjoyed a ride into Bristol for their Italian day, ridden down to Dijon for the Coupes Moto Legende, and enjoyed our track day at Cadwell for only £65.00,
The club have also attended the Bristol & Stafford shows as well as the 1000 bikes event at Mallory Park.
Add to this the club magazine and you have no reason not to join.
Great way to get out on your Corsaro and enjoy owning a Morini. :D

Regards


Paul

Hi Guys ,

So as you can see i'm new here and tought i say hello

After some looking around this seems to be the place to be if your a MM owner and it happens to be a drive the GP , just bought this bike in april and totaly loved the bike from the first test ride . It was a second handed on but was like brand new (very wel taking care off ). The GP had 10.000km on the dash but now its already reading 16.000km :p
and that for a guy that used to do this in a years time or longer ( work and weither keeps me from riding alot)
For now i'm waiting for all the led lights ive orderd to imporve the view .

These bikes do have caracter thats for sure but you learn to live with it (like exhaust came lose , sift poke , waterhose ) but nothing serious tho .

As you can see i'm from belgium and ive never seen this bike here before or any other MM for that matter . Many people will come take a long look at the bike and ask questions about but never seen a MM before in there life . So if your from belgium leave a comment and ofcource all of you can .

for now i geuss thats kinda it if you need to know more just ask

greetings poco loco

Hello everybody, I'm John, from the darkest Black Country in the West Midlands. I've fancied a Morini for a long time and have finally taken the plunge with a 350 Sport from NLM. Hope to meet some of you out on the road sometime.

Hi you all,

In addition to a kind of Morini interest that I shar with all of you, I must say that unlike you I am ...French.
I already met some of you in Dijon where the French Club Moto Morini Passion had organized a friendly party to let everyone meeting the others.
And I must admit that I had been a lot involved for that thing existing.
A month later I was with some of you at your fantastic trackday at Cadwell Park.
Then some of you will have recognized me and will say that I am not a pure Morini fan as I was riding my faithfully Norton Atlas.
Yes you must (and will) understand that to be linked with Britain and British, I cannot read only Motociclismo d'Epoca and visit Bologna.

Going to my 62 on next spring I was 17 old when I got my first "real motorcycle" (after a 125 Lambretta LD) a 125 Corsaro Veloce, tuned belong the French Formule Sport regulation of the time.
A very fast bike unable to accelerate as strongly as the Yamaha twin AS1, with their 5 speeds, but sharing the same top speed and even more than these strokers.
The following year I switched for a Norton 99 (here a new and unachieved story started) but I never forget the lovely Bolognese single.
End of 2011 I was thinking to a 125 four stroke greenlaner, but already having two Honda (125 TL & 125 XR) I was looking for an European bike.
I then remember that on the Morini importer (Gabriel Couturier, Doug knows) leaflets some Regolarita was displayed...
It was the thing I wanted and from that day I sunk again in the Moto Morini landscape.
It was great opportunity to meet very good people, in France first, in Britain and Italy later and I don't regret that crazy winter idea.
Of course I had got a Morini Regolarita as a basket case filled with a 1972 Verlicchi 125, which is await to make its new beginning in April, I guess, just to be runned-in for the 6th Moto Morini Passion gathering on May 18th -20th at Cravant (Burgundy).
Two weeks later I will attend the Coupes Moto Légende in Dijon and will also join you at Cadwell as long as Paul will have confirmed the actual date for that fantastic event.

Few other words, on me I am retired from a carrier spent in Motorsport (but sadly only cars), living close to Beaune (the Burgundy wine town). I am married with two childs and 3 grand-sons, two dogs, two cats and a horse.
On bike side, a 750 pre-unit Triton (owned from 1970), the already mentioned 1965 Atlas, a 1966 Triumph Cub in trial guise, a 1970 250 Triumph TR25W, and the 2 Honda 125.
You may mind that the Corsaro will feel alone, but it will probably learn quickly what British hospitality means…

Happy New Year Francois,

I hope to have a confirmation soon regarding track Day. The club is just waiting for Cadwell to produce a contract.
Normally we have the date confirmed by the end of January, so very soon.
Entry forms should be with you the following month, no news on prices yet as this depends on Cadwell. Hopefully
we can have another fully entry and all enjoy the delights of Cadwell. This event has a loyal following and never fails to deliver. If you have room bring the little Morini, you can enjoy Cadwell off track as well as on.

Regards

Paul

Thank yo Paul for your kind reply.
Sorry for the typing mistake in my previous post...
I will keep members aware of the progress of the Regolarita rebuilding on which I am still working.
If I can I would prefer to bring another French member to ride at Cadwell rather than a second bike for me, but if we take a trailer, why not ?

Hi all,
my name is Phil from Belfast N.Ireland and I am new to Morini ownership.
I currently have two V twins A 5oo sport in need of a little TLC which I bought off E-bay on a whim , After sourceing a stator plate I managed to get it going and currently am in the process of making rearsets and giving the bike a tidy up. I also have a wire wheel 350 strada which I fell in love with again on E-bay and bought it from a real gent from Wales,
I would love to bring both bikes to your trackday at Caldwell park, all the best for now ,Phil Lunney

Hi Phil

Whilst it will be 3/4 weeks before I can send out entry forms for this years event send me a pm with your address and I will put you on the mailing list. If you haven't joined the MRC already then do, it will save you money and enhance you riding experience.

My understanding is that the Yahoo group is pretty much extinct so don't hold your breath.

Enter "Morini smoke" into google, the smoke list has a lot of US contributors.
Obviously I have to say this forum is better but most of us subscribe to both.

Hi All,

name is Russ live in Watford and have been riding since I could get on a bike (all thanks to a cousin who had a Norton)
Had mainly Honda's since the 90's CBR600 CBR900 CBR929 and now riding a BMW S1000RR.

Ride with guy's who have a varied selection of bikes from a Bonneville to a Panigale, a few SMT's and Adventurers as well.
Decided that I needed a 'second' bike as I am planning on doing a lot more touring next year, and think a more upright position
would better for a 3000 mile trip (and my aging back). So what bike is the question, have tried a GS,Nuda,SMT not keen on Tiger's or Multistrada's
and was having a hunt around. Came across the MM Granpasso and thought yeah like the look of that. However actually getting
to look at one let alone ride one is going to be a problem me thinks.

Considering taking a punt and going to Bologna to the factory and hire one for a day or two and then see.

Rusty.
