I took my bike for it's annual road worthiness check yesterday. On the test ramp was a very interesting bike of the 50's, an MV Agusta 175cc. I got chatting to the owner and he told me he had just done the Motogiro d'Italia on it. This is an event for 1050's motorbikes. http://www.motogiroditalia.com/en/index.html
This bike is worth £60,000 !! He has just bought a Bugatti which he hopes to run in vintage rallies. Sorry about the quality of the pictures, they are from my phone.

If your phone pictures are so damn clear, how come our SKYPE conversations aren't??

He is rubbing his hand on the mic to act like it is a bad connection so he can get off the phone with you baldie.

I'll have to think of something else now.

nice vintage bike Adrian,most of the vintage Italian bikes now command
a high premium

Uncle-AJ · 4 August 2005, 07:37 PM

It sounded good when he fired it up. You would have thought it was a 350cc and not 175.

Cool!

It looks so simple (and light!) compared with today's bikes.

The older bikes do have a certain simplicity to them that is very appealing. However, i'd still love to get my hands on a Ducati 999s. How can you not want 143hp on a 400lbs bike? Yowsa!

padi56 · 5 August 2005, 12:44 AM

Seems like this bikers got a one track mind,nice bike though.

Uncle-AJ · 5 August 2005, 04:30 AM

Now that's one Harley I would ride.

JJ Irani · 5 August 2005, 04:32 AM

LOL to the both of you!!

Uncle-AJ · 5 August 2005, 04:43 AM

It gives a whole new meaning to the term "Tank slapper".

5 August 2005, 04:44 AM

I guess the only way to ride that Harley is doggie style, eh?
