A Short Trip To Italy!
Well more like a short trip to pick up an Italian motorcycle.
My brother Jimmie called to say that he had a line on a 1984 Moto Guzzi 650 SP.
Off we went to Sherman Oaks to take a look (we took the ramps just in case)
It turned out to be a straight bike with no big problems, plus the guy who owned it was a neat person who could have been another of our brothers by another mother.
We set up the ramps and started up the hill with the bike. Just as the front wheel hit the bed of the truck, Jimmie lost his footing and went off the ramp! Fortunately, the seller who was helping push was a big SOB and held the bike up straight with one hand. Jimmie landed on his feet so all was well.
However, this incident has made us think of a policy for the future. If the bike under consideration will not start,we will take the winch to ensure that it may be pulled up the ramps with no danger of going over the side.
That could be a project for Sheddington Engineering to design a winch attachment for the truck.
Some pictures of the Italian bike are below.

More soon on how it works out.
The "exciting" news is of course that I'm working on a website.
In future you can use the website links or just use the BLOG link as you choose.
