Vintage Day Pinerolo / Italy 2019 - " C'era una volta il Cross "
Last weekend there was a very nice vintage meeting at Pinerolo , a famous old-school track near Torino / Italy.
We had beautyful weather on saturday and still perfect weather for riding on sunday as well. The track was perfect and there were hundreds of old bikes & older guys Awseome atmosphere, friendship and happyness all around.
Anyway - a perfect weekend to get the cobwebs off of my vintage iron and myself. We had a very cold winter in Switzerland so the weekend was kind of the season-opening for me as well.
VIDEO: a couple laps with my sicilian friend Vascular (No.8)

Awesome pics----and style!
I'm already struggling to do events like Pinerolo this past weekend with travels up to 6 hours...this time i had my 80 year old dad joining me which is always cool. Just like in the old racing-days
I plan to do some more of the italian races this year but some of them are pretty far down in the south, just too far away. In Switzerland we do have a vintage series but just for Twin-Shock bikes (-1980)...so i have to do the italian races to be able to compete with my 89s
The Shop
In the video i used my '89 "practice" bike which mounts a Mugen as well. But my other '89 racebike is again on a whole other level! The Mugen would ask for shifts up top. At certain rpms it stops pulling while my tuned stock engine goes on and pulls endlessly...i'd say again the difference from the 87 to my 89 Mugen !!
Riding the '87
My '89 "practice"-bike as used in the video:
Mugen kitted engine
Mugen forks
VRP aluminium gas tank and rear subframe
...a little rocketship It just shows that also vintage iron lets' you have big fun out on track !
