"Morte Cavallo" that means something like dead horse, doesn't it? I bet this bike smells like it.

Yes Jaap,
“Morte Cavallo” means “death horse”
But means not died horse.
So this is a name, Like in Dutch “Dood Paard”, this doesn’t mean “Dode Paard”
You get that?

"Dead Horse" is the operating phrase in this instance.

Started as a Guzzi centric club when dirt was still new.
This "Guy" is a walking Tonti parts encyclopedia and can
usually cross reference anything with an NSU Opel VW or tractor part.
Guzzi ought to have him design a new model...$6000 new and it would run forever.
He's also fairly humorus

There is something noble and genuine about ratbikes. So far removed from the Sunday morning Power Rangers.

No - just another side of the same coin.

There's KZ 750 rat bikes with 12,000mi on them.
Then there's Guys SP with 212,000mi
It's more like a rolling museum
You could say thats less than 10K a year but he's got 2 with over 200K
I wonder how shinny my Lemans will be @ 100K
How many keepsakes will be hanging off it.
How many memories.
Live to ride, Ride to live
To some it's a belt buckle
To some it's a religion
See ya in church

Here's my Tonti frame.
It'll be a 1979 1000SP again someday with a 1000S paint job!

Here's a better view. At least it's a proper shade of green now.
