Very Kewl! Your Trumps obviously have a good loving home.

Many years ago, before I bought the Guzzi I had a Norton Atlas. The “Vibro-Bike.” That was before they came out with the “Iso-Lastic” suspension for the motor.

I sold both (stupidly) and now I want to find the Guzzi again. Trouble is, good examples are through the roof. The bike in that photo was restored by Cycle Garden in Huntington Beach, Ca. and they charge close to $20K for a fully restored Police Model. Looks like I’ll be buying a beater and fixing it myself.

I remember I paid $1,597 for my Guzzi Ambo, complete with fairing and bags. (I defrayed most of the cost by trading an Austin Healey 100/6 that the dealer wanted. Should have kept that too.)

A fellow Harley rider is a Guzzi nut, and rides his more than his Harley.

A friend of mine had one when I was in college (mid-60’s), and I remember what a monster it was. Made another friends BMW 50 look small.... I rode the Bimmer, but not the Guzzi........
