I think there *was* internet when you were 34, you were just oblivious to the fact ;)

Good looking beast, mate!

Take pics of the resto!

Nice Simone, very pleased you kept your "lover"!
Yep, haha there was internet even when I was 34!
So you'll be cruising the hills and valleys if Italy on holidays with the wife side saddle on the back, scarf blowing in the breeze, (your wife's scarf that is), and an alfresco lunch over looking Gina Lollabridgada's cliff top mansion.

I miss my old Honda MT 250 E (Elsinore) now, even though I basically had to carry around a spare carby kit with me and it like to stop up the steepest slipperiest clay hills possible , and its throttle went fast forward or backwards, that sorted my mates out when it came to stopping lol, watching them try to stop but ending up on the back wheel and on the ground is always funny :)

I've never seen a calf on a motorbike before.

You should try Tuscan steaks then, my friend. Proper tradition is for the animals to be pastured exclusively on Augusta and Gilera, or in rare cases Moto Guzzi bikes. The claim being that their famous taste is a result of this ancient custom.

My first bike was a 250 two stroke from the early 80's that was a great old girl. Your 500 must fly.  Keep the pictures coming of updates etc.
