Bill Hagan Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Put this on wildguzzi, but thought I'd ask here as well. Well, as the Norge appears to be a 2007 event--if that--and my Carabinieri truck project is on spousal-unit-sanity hold (more available by email, but not public post ], I am on looking (semi-seriously, as same SU may need "encouragement") for a Nuovo Falcone. I (think I'd) prefer a mil version "in the crate," and understand those are out there somewhere. OTOH, would also consider any police version, a pure "civilian" model; or a Sahara model. Here are pics of the basic military version. http://www.acr-ricambi.it/NOVOFALC.DX.JPG & http://www.motorcities.com/contents/02/197...B233651097.html I have googled for available ones, and found several ... in Europe, but none in USA. As we will be in Italy next June, that is an option, but I'd like to find one here. So, anybody know of one? I know these aren't viewed as "sexy" Guzzis, but the anemic performance and semi-vintage look is fine with me for a neighborhood doodler or a slow run to the local hills. Thanks.

jrt Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 What about a Ladola? http://adcache.cycletrader.com/5/3/7/81839637.htm Sooooo sexy. Here's an original Super Alsace (maybe) that they want too much money for: http://british-usa.com/sales-detail.asp?VehicleID=1941 Here's one for a lot less: http://www.collectorcarsandbikes.com/view_...op1=10&okey3=id This is all stuff I just ran across on the web- I don't know any of the sellers or anything about the specific bikes. I'd recommend you get in touch with Tim Smith in IL (guzzi@aol or something like that). I know he posts on MGNOC site pretty regular (or used to). He has a Super Alce and might be able to get you some pointers. I personally favor the Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Hagan Posted December 5, 2005 Author Share Posted December 5, 2005 I personally favor the 69657[/snapback] Thanks for the feedback. I googled and found several interesting old Guzzis, but think (especially for your last point, cost ) that if I buy anything of that sort, it'll be a NF. I'd like to use it as a daily commuter, unless I end up with something nicer than I have in mind just now, in which case it'll be a sunny-day display ride around the neighborhood. Got an email from an owner. I'll see if I can't pour Kathi a bit more wine than usual to put her in a mellow mood for casual mentioning of a possible addition to the garageMahalo.

jrt Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Good luck, Sir. If you find some spare cash....uh, I could, uh, store one for you. Yeah, that's the ticket- "store". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Hagan Posted December 6, 2005 Author Share Posted December 6, 2005 A hint for next june http://www.motousate.it/search/?search=1&s...l&Submit3=Cerca 69703[/snapback] Grazie, Antonio! I have gotten several leads here, including one in Atlanta. The site, however, is very interesting in many ways. Wish there were more pics, but the one civilian version listed with a photo looks cherry. Also saw one military one in Lecco. "OK, Kathi, I know I said we came to Mandello to visit the factory, but what a coincidence. A Nuovo Falcone just like I've been wanting, here, in Lecco. It's a miracle, really." She may come to Amsterdam and hunt you down like a dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3GA Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Bill, have you talked to ol' what's his name at Blue Moon? His shop was a bastion of the old & odd, not just the customers, but some of the artifacts / merchandise too. They might be able to provide you with some leads, probably in Upper Mongolia. The folks over at the Barber Museum might be worth a shot as well. Phil P Atlanta GA '02 Le Mans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I hadn't even thought of Blue Moon until this popped on my companion post on wildguzzi: http://www.bluemooncycle.com/bikes/033_74_...4_mgfalcone.htm They have one! I think I saw this same NF at an Italian car show at Burton Dam two years ago. I am interested, but am also looking at others. had no idea I'd get this much response. I am still working on the bride. Stop by and visit the GarageMahalo sometime; we live here: http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?formt...HVHpXCtaQ%3d%3d [sorry; tried to shorten that url, but mapquest defeated me] Anyway, Wayne Orwig is coming over on Sat or Sun to help me get the EV tranny back in. I'm looking forward to the education. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
