Magnificent 1957 Italian Motorcycle Racing Movie Trailer – I FiDanzati Della Morte


I’m betting that understanding Italian wouldn’t make this any more amazing than it already is in my ignorance.

Taking to the Beach at the Race of Gentlemen

It’s good for the soul to get these old bikes out on the New Jersey beach and flog them like the thoroughbreds they are. Probably good for the bike’s soul too.
Looks like an incredible event. More information at The Race of Gentlemen.

1957 Catalina Grand Prix for Motorcycles

I’ve seen a few clips here and there from Catalina, but never anything this comprehensive. This collection of 22 minutes from the 1957 running of the 100-mile Catalina Grand Prix motorcycle race is absolutely fantastic. The chaos of that start is crazy. That everyone seems to just get up and start their bikes back up and continues is even crazier.
