    or drop it into gear, and roll it backwards against compression. take it out of gear and kick.

    The NuFalc is a joy to kick. Mine invariably chuffs to life on 1 kick. There are few things as smugly self-satisfying as 1-kicking a big single to life in front of a crowd of doubters!:wink:

    btw...I've posted some stuff in the NuFalc thread also.

    OK, OK...easy now Kev ! :D

    It's a '71 I've had for 3 years, in original paint and patina with 61,000 miles on it. While I appreciate Concours level restos, I must admit I'm very partial to original patina bikes. I love 'em when they show their use. A friend found this one for sale and hipped me to it, knowing it was right up my alley. I couldn't pass it up...it was short money--$1,000. Hadn't run in 5 years and took a bit of attention to make roadworthy...typical stuff. Unfortunately, as often happens with these under those circumstances, the motor started showing signs of original chrome bore degradation after I'd had it on the road for a while. The further I stripped the motor, the more signs of damage were evident. Big end shells, rod bushes showed wear and chrome scarring. Crank journal's not too bad, but at that point, I put 'er on the back burner as a winter project, and it's resting in the barn. At this point I'm debating whether to rebuild the 750 or an early timing geared 850 Eldo motor I have.

    The pic was taken on a back road in my area (Central Mass.) that I frequent. I'm lucky to have nice roads nearby.

    Here's one from prior to departure for the Guzzi rally in Maine last year.

    Looks like the same seat I have from Harpers. I like it a lot but I like firm seats.
