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

Ya, it'd be in high demand here too. Drexel, UPenn and Temple campuses. Bikes like that are more fashionable than iPhones

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.
