Motor time.
Took the engine apart to establish what I have/clean and sort out. A few nice discoveries on this lump. 500cc barrel and head, high comp piston. Polished con rod and lightened flywheels. Goldie type cams and timing pinion, and some sort of goldie inlet valve too. Some work has been done on the rocker arms also. This engine should tear some serious hole when it's done.

Moto Guzzi Nuovo Falcone.
This one was a spectacle to behold, Especially that mad exhaust thing.
There's some text I found on t'internet about this suckah.
"This was a total redesign of the much-loved and famous Falcone. While looking very similar in appearance, the engine and cycle parts were upgraded greatly from the original. The original Falcone had a non-unit looking engine and gearbox with magneto ignition and a dry sump. The Nuovo Falcone has unit construction, coil and battery ignition and wet sump. The final chain drive was also moved to the left. The huge external flywheel was retained, but hidden under an alloy cover (except for the bottom edge, that can still be seen whirling beneath the left footrest). The cycle parts were also upgraded.

Military Matchless
Saw this nice "trailer Queen" whilst out on the m25. Mind You, judging by that wear on the gearbox it's seen plenty of riding action. I suppose this is a Matchless g3l in a sort of desert trim or something
