Ha ha. This is a good one to come to the forum with.
I've been trying to track down an old mate from years ago and, as he used to ride a Moto-Morini, I joined their forum and posted up. After a week there was only one response.
My question is whether you lot read it as a piss-take or not? (the reasons for me asking will be made clear later).
This was my post.........
Hi Morini three and a half riders.
I've just joined your forum because I'm trying to track down an old friend whom I've lost contact with and this is a long shot but worth a try. I'm maybe moving back into the Bristol area and would really like to find him.
I used to know this guy when I lived in Bristol between about 1997 to 1999. He was called Patrick and I cannot for the life of me remember his second name so I have few leads to follow. He was Irish and a talented furniture maker and had a woodwork shop in Bristol, I think South of the river, maybe Bedminster. His girlfriend, wife, was called Katrina.
But what I do know for sure was that he had a Morini three and a half that he loved and cherished. I had an old Ducati 900SS and we used to go on rides together and talk bikes in the pub. His was a red and black one, pretty good runner and condition for it's age. He was mates with Hugo Wilson, who was, I think at the time, editor of bike magazine or something like that and he was also a Morini owner and fan. Knowing these bikes and the value of a good forum I would bet money that if Patrick still has the Morini he is on here and needed help to keep that pile running sweet!
This is the reply.........
I´m sorry that I can´t help you finding that Patrick, bur perhaps you can help me to find a Steve allthough he lived in a village near Bristol in the beginning of the 80s, but maybe he is still there today. I met him on my first long journey with a Tremezzo in the beginnigs of the 80s and spent two days in his house. He had a Laverda and his girfriend/wife Zoey had a Morini 350. I´ve made several intents to find them but still without results. If anyone can help me please ....Norbert. (Germany)
