My old 81 Guzzi Monza is sitting in a friends garage, unregistered & unridden & unloved.
Sold it to him maybe 10 years ago (geez make the 15 years) & he is always trying to sell back to me. She is still in pretty good condition, although the seat is starting to show signs of age & is splitting (no big deal). She looks a little weird compared to to-days modern bikes, but get her into the E's & with the sound of the Conti exhausts reverberating off the sandstone, it's heaven on a stick. I'm always tempted to buy her back, but there is no room for her & I'm already in a long term relationship

Lol, well here's the rub, There is a guy (used to be a riding buddy), bought himself an MV Augusta last year & he has this sitting in his folks garage (albeit with a scuffed left pipe) & would probably be convinced to sell it, my 1986 MK1V, so go figure.....
I'm sure that my Morini 500 & Beemers are probably still out there to somewhere (this could get expensive)
I guess what I'm saying here, that it's great for Havoc, but there where reasons why I moved on from these bikes (some good, some really stupid), sure it would be good to own the old beast again, but it had a killer seating position (clip on's,) suspension that was so rigid you bum was always off the seat & a great habit of dropping a gear, usually while you went into a corner & it ate throttle cables, usually on Sundays & more than 20 kay's from home.
Oh & a clutch (dry) that required either steroids or cans of spinach to use.
