Clearly I'm missing something
Never fear, Tin Man, allow me to translate.
Your dear Uncle is wondering if any of our European or Australian compatriots know anything about a motorcycle made by Moto Guzzi in the late forties & early fifties (I think) called the
Falcone.
It was an odd little single cylinder beastie with an exposed flywheel (!). Because of this, it's common nickname was the "bacon slicer" (I can only assume that "rider's ankle slicer" was just a bit too much of a mouthfull)
In my opinion it always looked to me to be something of a mismash of parts. Not really very sexy (read: Italian) at all. Kinda makes the Scott Flying Squirrel look like a MV Brutale.
I've never ridden one, seen a couple in real life though. My guess is that parts are going to be 100% pure Unobtanium. Ride & build quality should be on par with any other post-war Italian single. It will be red.
Know what I mean, Vern?
