italian sohcs
« on: May 23, 2012, 05:10:34 AM »
 well, the italian sohc4 club had its yearly meeting this weekend

pics in flickr are a bit too arty / cool-ish to my taste (the hip style plague has reached these shores too) but stiil worth watching

this bike for instance was really good looking in a true old school way, i.e. no heat wrap / brat / fat firestones BS :)

My best guess would probably be custom handmade, look like Swarbrick racing pipes.

Why not? Does Italy have a trade restriction on motorcycle exhaust pipes from foreign locales?

Obviously a non-alcohol event  :o

The guy seemed happy that his carbs got synched ... if the readings before were true it must have made quite a difference. 

From my little knowledge of Italian (none at all) ... I think the plywood sign said "If the van's a rockin' .. don't come a knockin'"  ::)
