Grazie

Grazie,

questo post e' per ringraziare tutti coloro che lo scors Week-End sono passati

a trovarmi a Lugano al raduno HOG.



Ancora una volta ho sentito l'affetto delle persone che ormai mi conoscono e mi seguono da anni

e delle persone che magari avevano soltanto sentito parlare di me.



ho rivisto vecchi amici e fatto nuove interessanti conoscenze,tutti con una storia speciale da condividere.





Mi sono sporcato ancora una volta le dita di colore , ho steso metri e metri di linee , ho sofferto il caldo tremendo, la fatica, l'acquazzone e la grandine , ho mangiato quello che e' capitatava, quando capitava,

ma sono tornato a casa felice, anche se stanco.



Mi sento orgoglioso di portare avanti una tradizione, quella del Pinstriping, come filosofia di vita.



non un semplice lavoro,



ma la mia vita e le mie sensazioni che si traducono in linee e segni.



Non biasimatemi se la chiamo Arte.



Grazie a chi ancora una volta ha reso possibile tutto questo.



Arrivederci alla prossima volta,

nel frattempo,

divertitevi con le vostre moto o i vostri "buffi" mezzi modificati.



Ci vediamo in giro

THE mOOnbretta

this is one of my scooters.

1969 Lambretta tribute to Mooneyes .


slammed to the ground and with a bigger engine

every curve she skratches the asphalt .

cool -in town-transportation device.


The other scooter is 1978 Vespa ET3
in that age here in Italy it was the most popular tranportation among us teenagers,


very Mods style in that period.

This Summer I'm using alot the Vespa.

but no official Vespaclubmeetings, -no way-!

Here we go...




back in businness!






I've been out for a while,






first was the Jesolo bike week.

very nice meeting,

it was on a huge location, and I think it can grow much more.



I met lot of friends, and this 3 days formula is perfect , so you can spend more time with people.
after the show in the kart track , in the night, the party moved inside the Gasoline Bar.

looot of fun.






just after the jesolo thing
just went home, switched clothes , take a shower, loaded the bike on my old van, and GO!



only 2000 km to Sweden,
Germany was RAIN, ( wonder why) and dangerous ride

to meet Krantz and all the brothers



and drive to Norrtalje for the Custom Show.



Chopper Dave was there,



as usual the warmest welcome from the Twin Club friends



The best part of that event, after the show, is to have some beers around the camping spot.


Meet lot of interesting people, from Sweden , Finland and the rest of Europe.
Plebs area is alway filled up with cool people and cool bikes
Also Minna was there with her Chopper, she got AMD award, so she goes to Sturgis this Summer



Two friends from Italy joined this year, Gabriele e Gigi.



They rode all the way up and down crossin Germany and Poland with theyr bikes.


After the Custom Show, just spent some time around Sweden,cooked some Italian dinner for Dave , Rille and friends, with some good Italian wine.


the day after, the plan was to have my friend El Cheapo,who was back from Bottrop with some friends to visit me,
but some mechanical problems had to be fixed , so they showed up late, and the planned coffee time was switched into a barbecue,

it was raining, ( strange, it never rains in Sweden)...so we fit , like 15 people, inside my Stuga, It was funny.


Good memories, and good friendship.


Than the Jokers Car Show came, and also more rain and wind!

not so many peopled showed up, but plenty to make a good show.

Calle with his gorgeus , all by himself built, Panhead won the Best Bike trophy.



super happy!



The flight back home was smooth, no delays, no luggage lost, perfect!



immediatly junp in the car and drive to Cafe' degli Artisti in Cesenatico for a party.

there was Herb Martinez striping live, so I met this old friend after 11 years.


but no time to rest, just reload the car the day after and go to the Bikers Fest in Osoppo

I was invited there as Special Guest


on the way up, I stopped in Gasoline Bar to say hello to Alberto and to the Japanese guys ,

Wildman, Makoto, Ghost, MrG, and Nash,.


was good to see them.They were on tour around Europe.



I'm gonna meet them again next december in Yokohama, at the Mooneyes Show.






The Biker Fest was good,

unfortunately the rain made some bikers stay home ( this before the internet and I-Phone age

wouldn't have happen, everybody was checkin the weather in real time)

but anyway it was good for me, I had also time to stay with friends, drink coupla beers, listen to the music and see the traditional midnight strip tease, wow!


the welcome from the organization was super warm,



Thank you Moreno and staff.

Now I'm here again, planning for the next trip,

see you in Lugano Switzerland, on 3rd week end of July.




Not so many pictures taken,

I'm very bad with cameras



dig this I took from the window of my van driving to Norrtalje



it says alot about swedish style!

Riding average 120 kmh in a 22" over chopper



The other is just before the ride to the Custom Show
