Thanks to Chris Sharon for the heads up! And yes, $35,000 IS a lot of money but WOW what a find! Here’s the LINK to the auction page for more photo’s while it lasts anyway..
I even kinda like the soundtrack.. from the comments. It’s clips for “On Any Sunday” !
Insert the sound of my hand slapping my head here…
Looks like a lot of fun!
Stunner! From over on ADV Rider.
Pete Giammalvo (or anyone who may know him) if you’re reading this can you please contact me. I received a request from someone to publish these pics of your bike and I’d like to put you in touch with him to work out any permissions. Thanks!
Reader Pete Giammalvo sends in thise pics of what I believe to be a really cool Moto Morini flattracker. I’m also guessing that it’s a 3 1/2 (or 350) model.
Thanks Much Pete!
I shot this at Riding Into History Lat year. I still have a lot of great shots from that event I’m yet to post. But you can see them all in mu “links to complete albums” section up top.
Update! From our old friend Stuman! AKA Mike ‘Stu’ Stuhler. Check out his blog at http://stusshots.blogspot.com/

This is one of Ron Woods’ projects. Matt Weidman tried to make the mile at Arizona back on 5/1 with this but missed the field. He’s supposed to run it again on Saturday 10/9 and try to get it in the National again after Ron got the bugs worked out of it.
Very sweet looking machine! With the rules being ‘opened up’ in AMA Flat Track this year it has made for some very interesting combinations, as 12 different manufacturers and their respective models are available to race in the Grand National Expert Twins Class. Earlier this year not only did a Ducati 1098 win–at Arizona with Joe Kopp–but Bill Werner, Jay Springsteen and Bryan Smith took a Kawasaki 650 Ninja-based parallel twin to the win here at Indy and at Springfield. Jeremy Higgins put a KTM in the main at Minnesota a couple of weeks ago, and Triumph put together a nice package based on the 865 Bonneville and has made four mains this year.
Very cool stuff, and as always Steve, you have kept things on the cutting edge here man! Keep up the great work!
Awesome! Thanks for that!
I think I posted something on this bike a long while back but I’m not positive. Really excellent build. Your eyes are not playing tricks. The front shock mount is in fact on the rear of the cylinder. Bold stuff.
