A good rider too, he was Italian National 1999 Vintage 500 champion too. the bit of sad story here is that it's a one man operation, he is soon going in pension, so the whole thing will has no clear future. He tried to sell on, not much interest...

He's just one of us by the look of his shop....except probably with more talent! I doubt he'll ever find a person to buy it all, sad but true.

Thanks for this TG.
