From the Archives - Road Racing in Italy, 1967

 

Motogiro90ss.jpgThis is a wonderful picture of an Italian road race in 1967.  The photo is of what appears to be a 90 Super Sprint at a check-point, with a motorcycle and Vespa behind it.  This one must be a late series 90SS.  The give-away is the spare tire mounted crossways across the legshield.  The early 90SS's had the famous dummy-tank and a spre mounted straight from the legshields to the front of the seat.  This scooter clearly does not have the dummy-tank.

Note the map strapped to the scooter rider's left thigh.  The man standing has a stop watch and the guy in the booth appears to be marking down time.  Great picture! 

Thanks to Racing Retro for finding this photo.
