Any more Nuovo Falcone owners?

[mickyvee_2010]

As a new member, but a long time Guzzi owner, I was wondering if there are any NF owners out there. I am lucky enough to own a 1971 carabinieri issue, in dark blue, with just 13,000km up! Not the fastest kid on the block, but probably the most charming! About as far away as you could get, from my 1200 Griso!

Sorry, but posting pics is way beyond my absolutely rock bottom computer skills. I don't even know how to get pics from my camera into the computer! I know, I know, I need to go on a course, but the one at my public library, is massively over subscribed. Maybe someday a Kind hearted 10 year old will show me!

OK, well if you can get it off of your camera and send to me, I can post it for you.

This is Michael's NF (he's on the right);

This ex-carabineri Nuovo Falcone belongs to my friend Sue. I've had the pleasure of riding it a few times and it is wonderful fun.....a very laid back ride and possibly the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden. It is very original & even has a carabineri fire extinguisher mounted on the other side, but the passenger seat and top box are non-standard additions. It's her one deviation from her usual small block Guzzis: a V35 Imola, a 750 Strada and a 750 Breva.

Just as an after thought....in the picture of Sue's N.Falcone you will see it's in rather exclusive company. There's a 4 pipe Ariel Square Four behind it and a Series D Vincent Black Knight behind that!

How unusual! I see that you once owned a MkV LeMans, and an ISDT MZ! Well guess what. So did I! What a small world. Not a day goes by, that I don't think about my MkV. Why I sold it I'll never know. I fitted alloy timing gears, a Corbin seat, RITA ignition, and had numerous parts powder coated. I fitted Keihan stainless exhausts, and a light throttle kit, and rode to my local rolling road merchants. Half an hour spent playing with various jets resulted in 77 rwhp! It used to go very well indeed, and my later V11 didn't feel much faster! My MZ was just a beast, and I didn't really appreciate it at the time (late 70's). I've removed the leg shields and the rear seat from my NF, but I'd really like to find a double barrel silencer. Mine has a BSA one fitted. Runs ok though!

Glad to hear about the others out there. Mine is a `71 Civile model and I fell in love with the looks from the first time I saw one. Heavily tuned but it have made a lot of troble for me from that, I still love to ride it as it is very light and manouverable and easy going. It is white with red frame, Sorry, not sucsessful in posting pics.
