My first real bike was a G5 too droid. Bought it brand new£580 Orange.
While ridding in Ireland a bloke in a Austin 1100 turned right in front of me and wrote it off, he was pissed as a newt.
Yes an Austin 1100 there's more old git's on this site than you think

I guess so... while looking for a good pict I found a bulletin board crammed with people looking for all sorts of spare parts to restore their Corsaro's -- amazing!now that's rare!!!imagine now what that would be worth?
Mine was still running when I scrapped it because would not pass MOT; its papers were saying it had four gears (while it had actaully five) and the wheel sizes were different (the papers actually described the road version, while mine was the "scrambler" version).
Anyways my father would have never allowed me to store it in the garage for 20 years a bike I could not use... aaah...
This is where I got the pict http://digilander.libero.it/gipp1/motor ... nni-60.htm

It is manufactured by a somehow resurrected Moto Morini (i.e. someone bought the brand name); however Mr. Lambertini, who designed the engine, used to work for the Morini of the golden days.
the Morini 3 1/2 was a pretty decent seller around 1980; at that time in Italy VAT was 18% for bikes below 350cc (38% above!) so that engine size was rather popular. Alas, I never had the pleasure to ride a 3 1/2.tony.wilde1 wrote:he has a 500 v twin and 2 350(3 1/2)
