| Most specifically Steak and Pete! Has Greg still got the wreckage of Pinko? Thing is that this bike of Mark'S's is far too good to wreck out. Problem arises that it's frame and VIN can never be re-registered BUT with changes to import regs I can probably bring in a frame from anywhere and get it complianced here which means that the bike could live and breathe again! Given Greg's disinterest in modern bikes perhaps he'd be willing to pass the carcass on to one of you and you could either crate it up, (What remains of it.) and send it to me, (I have some other shit I need shipping over as well.) or just strip it and send me the frame with the other shit. That way I can build a 'Frankengriso' out of the two wrecks and another one will live again! Pete PS. For those who don't understand what I'm blithering about? Pinko was a real cheap GRiSO I picked up in 2010 and rode around the USA for a bit. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] | |

| Hello Pete,
I can certainly ask Greg, sure sounds like a worthy and reasonable thing to do. Too bad you didn't suggest this earlier as Pedro, Street, and myself were all over a Greg's for a delicious food bash this past Saturday evening.
I didn't notice if the Pinko carcass was still locked up out in the alleyway, but I will try to get an answer.
Do you still have his contact information? Send me a PM with the best email to reach you.

| Last I heard Pinko was moved to Patrick Rousch's house, but I never got a clear answer on what they/he intended to do with it. I don't know if Greg gave it to him, sold it to him, whether Patrick was planning to part it out, rebuild it, build his own FrankenGriso...no idea.
I'd be happy to contact Greg too, but I'll let Steve take the lead and stay out of the way unless you need me to get involved further.

| I don't know about the Rousch business, but I heard back from Greg and he says he's willing to work with you on it Pete. He wants you to contact him directly. I'll PM you with his email address. --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]2012 MOTO GUZZI GRiSO 1200SE2013 MOTO GUZZI STELVIO 1200NTX - Orange Blossom Special | |

| Sounds like Pinko may once again rise from the grave, just in time for Easter. It truly is a miracle! --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]“Danger + Survival = Fun.” - Neil Peart[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] | |

| Pete Roper, have you decided against this plan? Have you given Greg a heads up? Let me know so that I can circle around with him before he moves on the plan. --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]2012 MOTO GUZZI GRiSO 1200SE2013 MOTO GUZZI STELVIO 1200NTX - Orange Blossom Special | |
