Oops, forgot to ID. From left:

‘71 T100C Trophy 500, unrestored, purchased from original owner, 6,000 miles on her; ‘72 T120V Bonneville, restored by me; ‘73 T150V Trident, restored in Canada. All usually start on first kick.

The Trident is why I don’t need a sportbike. Fastest bike on planet in ‘69. Bonnie was in ‘59.

Very Kewl! Your Trumps obviously have a good loving home.

Many years ago, before I bought the Guzzi I had a Norton Atlas. The “Vibro-Bike.” That was before they came out with the “Iso-Lastic” suspension for the motor.

I sold both (stupidly) and now I want to find the Guzzi again. Trouble is, good examples are through the roof. The bike in that photo was restored by Cycle Garden in Huntington Beach, Ca. and they charge close to $20K for a fully restored Police Model. Looks like I’ll be buying a beater and fixing it myself.

I remember I paid $1,597 for my Guzzi Ambo, complete with fairing and bags. (I defrayed most of the cost by trading an Austin Healey 100/6 that the dealer wanted. Should have kept that too.)
