today jon at work sent me a link to the falcon motorcycle website and as stated before, if i had the cash i would love an old triumph bonneville or possibly the new 50th anniversary one. the layed back cruising long style is what i seem to be attracted to. i am really partial to the cafe racer style as well. most of these fetishes seem to stem back to old british bikes, triumphs, norton and the like. and then there is my mini love, again old british cars. i also really quiet partial to the austin healy sprite bug eye
deus have a bobber bike that is only a year older than me!.so… knowing i probably will never have the cash to get a bobber or cafe racer style moto … well probably not
i guess the closest i can go is a pushy very much the same as.i had recently been reading this when i came across this bike
one of the forum guys had brought it over from the states. it is really similar to the malvern star skidstar from the late 60’s.
the malvern isn’t quiet as “hard core” as the schwinn. the tubing doesn’t quiet look as agressive but none the less still a great cruising bike. then i found this as well. what is now a “new bike” but is really the biz. i love the masi logo. it has great typography and just reeks of style and grace. it is such a shame they don’t import them into aus. its the perfect kind of bike to take with you when you go for a ride with the kids. back pedal brakes with an 8 speed internal hub gearing, fenders/guards, this is cruising in style.
i’m not gready… i would just like one of everything here

My friend, excellent choice in bikes there. However… we DO import them into Australia via our distributor there- PacBrands. They may not have any currently in stock, but in a pinch they can get them from our US inventory.
Don’t lose hope- you may still be able to ride in elegant style!

thanks to both of you. firstly susan for the kind words.
and tim, still feel quiet honoured you found my little part of the worldpress world. i am now going in search of the masi soulville. for viewing purposes only - it’s all just a case of “wish lists”

Hey, I’m a big fan of academia- research is important in this world. (And one never has too many bikes or too many wishlists.)
