NAIL SALE: Loathe though I
am to part with the old thing, The Old Nail © is on the block. This is a 1969
or so vintage Moto Guzzi New Falcon. Readers of the world's previously finest
used bike guide monthly may remember a series of articles called The Nail
Files. They were about this bike. There is also a series of articles on this
very web site called Tuning for Need. They too are about this bike. What you
have here is your basic and well-used New Falcon with some improvements.
The major one is the cylinder head. This
has been welded-up and machined to a bathtub shape with a squish band, based on
the design used in a classic Triumph endurance racer (Dave Degens?). The head
has also been twin-plugged. It has new and much lighter valves with springs of
a matching rating. All courtesy of The Cylinder Head Shop.The engine runs, but
needs adjustment. What it needs is someone with a lathe or a Humbermate to skim
the head or barrel down to the proper squish clearance. Once this is set, there
may be a need to adjust the lash caps on the valve stems to bring the adjusters
into the right range. It also needs the drain plug on the right fork leg to be
fitted with a new seal (I have spare ones of those too).
The engine has a new piston, rings and
liner. The bike comes with a load of spares. These include a larger piston,
spare liner, higher-capacity oil pump, head bearings, various gaskets and so
on. It also comes with some of the special tools, which include the flywheel
puller, fork-leg spanner and ignition-timing quadrant. I also have a complete
electronic ignition set for it, plus a new twin-outlet coil. And some new
transfers. Plus a home-made pillion seat. And the manual and parts list. And you
can also have the SU carb that I was planning to fit next. The bike is fitted
with a Carabinieri handlebar fairing and leg shields plus indicators. The tyres
are good and it has a chain oiler. Oh, and a grease nipple for the swinging-arm
pivots. It's currently fitted with a Harley silencer, but comes with a spare
Norton (perhaps) one and the
original but rusty Moto Guzzi affair.
This bike is one of the more developed
road-going New Falcons. The Km speedo has gone round the clock, meaning that
it's done about 60,000 miles. It's done the National Rally for a Gold. I passed
my Advanced Motorcycling test on it. It's boring on motorways but a total hoot
on the Yorkshire Dales roads near me.
I want £2000 for it. It needs someone who
can take-up the story and keep developing it. See www.realclassic.co.uk/guzzi030218.html
or www.devce.demon.co.uk/falcone.htm
for more details and pictures. Give me a call on 01765 600629 and I'll answer
your questions.
---------------------------
STAFFORD MOBILE PUP
SCOOTER, the same as the one in the Beaulieu museum. I believe these were
produced by T G John & Co in Coventry prior to his
founding the Alvis Car Company. Would anyone in the UK would like to
purchase it (or swap for a 73 Norton Commando?). My eldest son is still in Kent should you need a
representative over there. The Pup is in the USA, in 'display
condition' although a touch up here and there would be in order. Lengthy
history. I really have no idea as to the Pup's value, if any, therefore a
swap/trade for a Norton may be a wise idea.
