What a lovely bike, both of em.
I was down at the dealer today getting mine serviced and couldn't help but look around wishing I had enough money to buy them all.
A Moto Guzzi Griso took my eye in perticular.... maybe I could afford a used one

Great photos and very nice to see something new. The Savoia Marchetti S79 story sounds like Italy's own 'Lady Be Good'.

Funny you should say that - I have noticed the same thing along a lot of borders!

I always find it funny how the landscape always seems to change after passing borders. How does it know to look different?

True mate. Even in our country.
Entering Wales from England shows all the stunning mountains and greenery.

I long to retire in somewhere like that.
Sick and tired of the war zones.
Alas I have 18 years service (out of a possible 30)to do before I can say "Ram It!"
