Gilera Motorcycles
« on: April 27, 2012, 11:00:18 PM »
Anybody know anything about mid 60's Gilera motorcycles, such as:
Are the~
collectible?
repairable?
resalable?

Just found one in a barn and have no clue if I should scrap it or find it a happy home.

Thanks

Send it to me mate, I'll give it a happy home! Gilera built some great bikes "back in the day", I'm not sure what parts availability is like, or how "collectable" they are, but they were a sweet ride, for sure. Do you have any pics? Cheers, Terry. ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

It's a sweet lookin little bike, maybe a 65 124cc single cylinder.  She's in good shape and motor turns over but haven't been able to find much on them online.  It's a piece of motorcycle history for sure and maybe a bit of American as they were sold through the famous Sears & Roebuck catalog.  Maybe I'll just hang it in the shop, make good wall art.  Guess I'll keep lookin around for info for now.  I'll have some pics up tomorrow.
