How fascinating and such a wonderful insight into motorcycling in the 1950's.
Loved the motorcycling gear and the story of the speedo change on the ducati
Thanks for posting the link - really enjoyed it.

Sent the link to my dad. In 53 he had a matchless 350.
I'm sure he will enjoy it.

Saved it in my "favourites" too. He isnt far wrong when he says "The Franz Jospeph Glacier in 1953, several miles of ice. Today with global warming it has probably shrunk to the point that it will fit in a nice glass of whisky" Massive difference when we were there in August.
What a brilliant posting.
