Thoughts:

My thoughts are blank again. The day started just like yesterday, the sun is peeking between the clouds and we've got 15°C at seven this morning. I arrived at work and the first highlight of the day: on the firm's car park stood a Moto Morini 3 1/2 motorbike. When it was built in 1972 it was a revolution, a v-twin, 344cc and in the sport version 39hp. Here are a couple of photos that I took of the machine. Typical seventies style simple with no frills and tires that are nearly as narrow as a mountain bike from today.

 

Short and sweet today.

Bye, see you all tomorrow
