Score One for the Gilera 106 Group

The Lil Thing aka the Gilera 106ss kept acting as if it had no clutch. Starting and idling fine, just cutting out. A saint on the Gilera 106ss Group had encountered the same problem and simply started rolling the bike before putting it into gear, pumping the clutch lever all the while.

The technique worked like a charm. Now the bike is at the welding shop, getting the tabs to which the center stand mounts attached to the frame.

Once it comes back from the shop, I'll be ready to register it at the MVD, now that I am bonded to claim its title.

Morini Sighting

First other Morini sighting today. It is hard to believe that I have been here five years and have seen none other than my own so far.

It was disc-brake, cast wheel, 3½ heading SBD Coors from EBD Montano, not so far from my own place.
