Can't teach an old dog new tricks they say.
Or, old two stroke motorcycle racers never die , but they do keep a finger hovering over the clutch lever on any motorcycle.
The last Forgotten Error Morini speed hill climber in final iteration of handlebar type.
Note index finger ready on the clutch lever although it's a four stroke and I have never managed to seize a Morini twin.
Gone but not forgotten.

My first Moto Morini 350 speed hill climb machine. A 1982 photo from the Morini Riders Club 2022 calendar.
An unloved 1976 Strada acquired cheaply in 1981 and converted to a minimalist 'racer'.
It won the NHCA championship in 1981 - but there were only two 350s regularly competing 😉
The same engine featured in two other bikes once the Forgotten Era championship was introduced in 2008.
It's still in my Morini 2C/375 road bike.

How my chronic Morini sickness began.
My first 1975 Moto Morini 350 Strada which I purchased new. Shown during a motorcycle 'gymkhana' at Newlands Corner Surrey as part of an AJS/Matchless OC rally.
Note unsuitably large top box, de rigeur 70's biker boots with buckles worn with sea boot socks and the 70's hair. Also the rear cylinder seems to be smoking slightly!
Never without a Morini for long since then.

Four years ago today I was embarking on a top end rebuild of my Moto Morini speed hill climb bike engine.
It included swapping the rather tired cylinder heads for later Kanguro 350 items. I also lightened and polished the rockers and fitted new valve springs with light alloy caps.
Might have found me a tenth of a second ;)
Photo of one old and one new head. Spot the difference.

If I still had the strength I would love a Moto Morini 1200 Super Scrambler.
Had a 2008 Morini 1200 Corsaro for a few years. 200 Kgs 140 BHP.
The new Scrambler (there was an earlier version) is only 116 hp.
