classic motorcycle forum

Benzina #4 is here and it's a Monster - with the story of a 100,000 mile M900 that met Taglioni. Then there's Tazio Nuvolari's incredible motorcycle racing success with Bianchi, the girls at Goodwood revival, plus racing a Gilera Saturno. Old time Lambretta racer Tony Tessier offers insight into Lambretta's speed records(!) and an overview of NCR's history is given perspective by Vicki Smith's view on her friendship with Rino Caracchi. Plus Jan Leek takes a Guzzi round Lake Como, and the story of the Circuito del Lario. Bits and pieces cover Mods, Darmahs, and why Italian racing bikes often weren't painted red. Finally Peter Crawford shares Franco Lambertini's Morini design secrets and the incredible tale of how Morini nearly beat Honda to the 1963 250 world championship with the worlds fastest single. All with the fabulous photography you'd expect from the world's classiest bike magazine

Here's another Italian Classic bike mag (more a book, really) http://www.teambenzina.co.uk/home/
This is my baby (called the burning money project by my lovely wife), a half book-half magazine featuring classic Italian sportsbikes and nothing else. There's nostalia (old Coburn and Hughes ads, the Bob Carlos Clarke "Falling in Love" Guzzi Le Mans pic), plus serious race histories told by thems that knows. Or you can just read the free content on the blog, and email to tell me I was mad to flog a 998S and S4RS to fund it all...
