The acquisition
Today I bought a couple of Moto Morini Kanguros with a view to a rebuild. The P.O. had described that they had been off the road for some time and that one of the engines 'had some trouble, maybe a pushrod'. My plan is to use parts from one to rebuild the other into a usable street/dirt bike. To do this an identical pair would have been ideal but they are a 1984 X1 and an early 1990s X3.

IMAGE HERE I prefer the style of the X1 and due to its age it will qualify for 'classic bike' insurance. Of course, the stuck engine is in the X1 - and as the kick lever is rigid I suspect it is well and truly seized.
The initial plan then is to swap the X3 engine into the X1 frame and get it road legal...
