Track bike in bits...

Post by vfrman » Sun Apr 21, 2013 10:15 pm

Well I hated to do it, but I disassembled my track bike today. I am moving from Italy to New Mexico and well, I don't have a title for the bike (because I built it from spare parts, and didn't bother to get a titled frame) and the only way to get it back was in bits. Can't wait to put it all back together!

Ouch, but you know you still have a v4 trackbike although being in New Mexico later! When you heading to new place? Well, good luck with moving.

You have had a good time over there mate...living the dream that so many of your fellow 'mercans never get to see.

Was a pleasure to come visit you and your family in Pisa...one of the nicest guys I've ever met and a heart as big as a house. thank you!

You'll enjoy being home in a different way.. cheap gas, fixed roads and drivers without such a deathwish!

Building the V4 back up will be good for you too..and you'll get to see your proper bike again.

Thanks mate. If you ever decide to come do Route 66, I will be living right on the route!

I plan on doing it for sure. The 66 Stang is a good idea, but I was thinking on a Harley Davidson...
