"Could you bring out a couple of bikes that the Ferrari guys might appreciate?" asked Eric Rassmusan from Cavallino, the annual Ferrari convention in Palm Beach, FL. I took these photos at the end of the day after the Friday track day at Moroso Motorsports Park of the three bikes we brought out for display. These three bikes are personal favorites, rare and special - all three began life in Bologna, traveled to other countries and ended up here in the USA. One, the 175SS literally changed my life. It's my absolute favorite machine. Turns out Sandhill Cranes like it too....

This is called a "Jelly Mold" tank. It's design was inspired by the shape of the tucked in riders arms molding into the sides of the tanks. The brackets on the top of the tank are parcel loops so things can be strapped to the top of the tank for carrying.
