Cool I Get Dizzy Just Watching

I found this clip from the 50's that you might enjoy. Maybe we can try some of the maneuvers at ES!

LiveLeak.com - Italian Motorcycle Police Display

One thing I forgot to ask......does anyone recognize the motorcycles they're riding?

I think you might have to spread the formation out to make that work with Rockets

If you've not seen: Welcome To Ride Like a Pro it's not quite as impressive but the fundamentals are there.

Mamma Mia! What a great parade! . As to your question, I'd say MotoGuzzi's ... Astore ? or Falcone?. But I might revert with a definite answer, after calling on Italian friends. Jamie

Dave,

I agree on the the Eureka Springs try out. Probably should leave the adult beverages out of the formula though.

Yep I have seen ride like a pro and thats pretty impressive but my point is that the bikes in the Italian video are in a very tight formation and I just don't think that many rockets would fit in the same space with their 38 inch wide handle bars.

And they have responded: 1955 footage featuring... 1955 Guzzi Police Falcone's. Troppo facile, they have added. Too easy a quizz Saluti. Jamie
