But now the wait begins.
You see I`m in Perth, West Australia and the bike is in the UK !
A little history. My first Morini was around 35 years ago. A great little 125 Corsaro Special. Then a little later a 3 1/2 wire wheel, 1 disc Sport. Years later another 3 1/2 Sport like the first.
Then in 2018 I bought a 500 Camel. Joined this forum, rode it in the outback, got lots of great info from this forum (thanks !)
I have always kind of regretted selling all of them. Very recently I got the urge to look for another one. As there is not many here on the western side of OZ and even on the more populated east coast, I was just browsing what was for sale overseas.
Well I was lucky to find a 1975 3 1/2 drum, wire wheel Sport. In fact it is the bike in Paul Comptons video 9 part series '1975 Sport recomission part 1'
Im sure I will be asking questions etc back here on this great forum.
Another adventure begins.
Bike was picked up on Friday........

Hi Trevor,
I use to be a member, long time ago. I may well join again even though I am in Perth.
Cheers.
