After a 7 year search I found One!
The only thing is that it was located e few states away.
Talked to the owner and it could not have been a better gentleman.
He held the bike for me for 3 plus weeks until I had the time to go down to North Caroline.
I reserved a Nissan Frontier and when I showed up this was waiting for me, of well
Left Portland Maine at 8am arrived in Charlotte NC at 1am
The next morning I show up to see the bike and this is what greets me, I started to feel good about my chances of buying the bike.
Glenn had a thing for the obscure, a Norton Commando 850 and Volvo P1800 plus the Centauro.
After looking over the bike Glenn took me on a 45 minute ride on the beautiful back roads and I knew I was taking the bike home.
Talked to Glenn a bit more, the bike came with many spare parts and I found out that the first owner raced it occasionally
Loaded the bike on the truck and on my way back home I went with a huge fucking grin on my face.
I believe this conversation occurred
V11 -- Who the f#ck are you?
Centauro -- ..............
V11 -- Just fucking with you. Welcome to the stable.
Centauro -- Cool, thanks I was nervous there for a sec.
V11 -- Nah it's all cool. Just watch out for that asshole (me) he is handsy
The Extras
Glad to see the canisters removed and I can only imagine that the flywheel in the bike is special
on the operating table just having a check up
Nice catch can for the breather tube
Switched the exhaust to the Mistral's much better sound.
Cool safety wire on the caliper
Took it for a 2 hour maiden voyage very happy with it.
This what I have planed for it in the future
The four specimens I love.
Thanks
