What is that little car past the Darmah? Kinda looks looks like an Abarth Simca, but the grill is vertical instead of horizontal. Is it some Zagato-bodied Alfa? MikeV

Thank you Bob
Perfect.
I forgot to look at Honda on eBay.
Good to see Lou and Mike are still about .....
Hello Clay, that is the same as I’m trying to build/ restore.
I had a red Darmah back in the old days. Mine was ‘79 but with the later seat, not the whale tail. Seen plenty of black ones with the later seat, but not red.
I agree, it is one of the bikes I wish I didn’t sell.
The chap that owned this one went to jail (gaol) for a long time.
Before he went off to the big house he pulled it apart and left it in a wet car port.
He nicol plated the frame and changed as many bolts as he could with stainless.
Many years later, the stainless bolts have grown to the alloy, the brakes and tank are rust holding hands, etc.
But I’ll get there eventually.
Bevel parts are very expensive!!!!!!

Thank you all, keep safe.

Regards
Graeme

Just a heads up. There is a left and right cover. This pair look like they come with grommets and rubber surrounds.

Graeme and Mike, on the cars....

The cars are owned by a local guy I bought the Darmah from.....and then later I actually sold it back to him. I dont have that much money for toys or enough space for them :-(

I am not an Alfa expert either, so someone can correct me if they know better. I knew the cars were good, but didnt realize how good they were at the time, I think these are probably a few hundred thousand $$ now to buy....the one is like a 1960ish Giulietta Sprint Zagato (fastback roundish one), the other is a mid 60's Guilia Sprint GTA I think. On the other side of the garage wall was a dismantled/wrecked TZ1. I think all these are very limited production cars, a few hundred each were probably all that was built. A nice TZ1 today is more than a million I think.

Not Ducati related, but had a great track day Saturday at Karlskoga Motorstadion in Sweden. My buddy Lars lent me one of his Honda NSF250 Moto3 bikes (or actually his wife, that one is hers). Two days later some pain in my body, no surprise.. :) Had a small crash, braking into a corner. Probably a bit too cold front tire. Rider and bike both unhury!
Thanks Lars, had a great day!

Sounds like you had fun! I was working like a dog! Here are pictures of my space before Covid 19 and after. I shrunk pretty good! I was very fortunate for many years, and we had lot's of good times. We will again, I just have to figure it out! Lou

Hey Lou,
Well....glad you got some space, even it if is smaller. At least you still have the important stuff, the "iron". Hard to tell from the pics on the sizes.....what are you now, near/about the size of a 2 stall garage. That will work!!

See ya,
Clay
