Cheers sef

Story was that the bike was a snatch back as the guy who built them was offed in drug fued, and a guy took it from his workshop in bits as he had paid him for work on which was obviosly wasnt going to now get done. Then sat in loft for a decade until he sold it on... :?

All of which may be bull***t anyway. Does look nice though, when were they first built and how many did this guy make?

cant remember the feature of this in scootering fully ,vaguely i remember the story was Alan had stashed one of the rossa 350's in a high rise flat and the scoot had to be stood on its end in the lift to get it down though not sure if this was referring to this one or not but the feature went on to say alan rossa was shot in the back of the head in his garage in (i think)Blackpool and that no one had been found in connection with it ,i think this one was take from the premises in Preston after it had been abandoned ,frank s will know

I stand to be corrected but I believe the one in the video used to belong to Guy Rackley who sold it to the bloke who now owns it.
Guy had it in it's unfinished state for several years, I remember seeing it at his workshop in Harrow in the late 90s.

May be one in the same, story i was told was that the guy had broken into his garage and basically lifted it in bits then hid it in a loft for ten years....Could be the same...?
