My Winter Project: '79 Morini 500

[Capo]

I need this like a hole in the head, but I've taken in my winter project. Or winter/spring/summer/fall project if things don't go to plan. It is a 1979 Moto Morini 500 V twin, a bike with virtually no presence in the US, but fairly well known, and admired, in Europe.

Pretty amazing engineering for it's day, and known as a light, nimble handler. This one has been sitting for some time, but is all there, and I picked it up for a song. It sat in an airplane hangar next to a rotting, squatting, leaking, and for sale Citroen SM, so in comparison, my project will be a breeze!

Here's a little review, and some pix:
