Possibly the most beautiful bike built, ever.

Mike, I hope you will like these photos. A professional
photographer/writer took
them at a show in Detroit. From time to time I run the bike on the road,
that's
why you see head light and license plate; it took some doing to install
everything
without drilling any holes. I just used the holes that were already there.
Enjoy.

Hi Antonio,
Funny you should send these, I knew from Barber Festival coverage that you had one and I was temped to ask our fellow listers if they knew there was actually a Gambalunga owner in our midst. Very pretty, thanks for sending them!
Happy New Year, by the way,
Mike

Yes, that is a G106.  Looks good, but not original

Beautiful! It's good to see how nicely this adapted to road use with the
headlight. I could see this being the perfect commuter bike for riding to
and from work here in Vancouver on nice, dry summer days. :)

Michael, there are a few counter indications to your plan: The bike is
incredibly
uncomfortable; it is horribly noisy end it does not like that little
silencer I installed;
it only works with the open, straight pipe and will scare away the
noisiest Harley
Davidson; ; no idle; the engine is pretty well tuned and will let you
know, in no
uncertain terms that it wants to run on top of the cams, so forget
facing traffic.
Just to be half a way civilized, I run it on open country roads Saturday
morning
around 8 am and for about 10, 15 miles. Notwithstanding all that, when
it gets
"song" it is intoxicating. There is also the castor oil
effect.......................
I love big singles! I am glad you like it.

It would be perfect for my commute: from the middle of nowhere to the end of the road and back. About 50 miles of decreasing radius turns between the mountains and the shore.  and the ride is the destination.

Why does the front end look so raked outward on the replica bike?
