Can You Put A Kickstart On A 50cc Dirtbike

Carlo Talamo, the "Captain" Fontana and the power of communication

It happens every so often late at night, when work and children are set aside for a moment, to take the case to the overloaded bookcase in my bedroom a few magazine of motorcycling.
Some are decades old.

Motorcycling, Vintage Motorcycle, Cafe Racer, Moto, Racer, Motosprint, Special Motor, Classic Legend Bike and Bike.

Just a Bike Legend of December 1992 I find an article by Carlo Talamo which tells of how he contacted and met at Vallelunga pilots linked to the brand Triumph for a test / meeting with the then-new track Trident.

the likes of Vanni Blegi, Robert Provenzano, Luciano Rivabene and someone else accepted the invitation and the day reminiscent / promotional and became dear Charles saw to advertise in the right way. History
emblematic of a great communicator, to Talamo, which started in Milan with the creation of Numerouno, importers and dealers Harley Davidson and then continued with the newly reborn Triumph.
Being able to sell and make the object of desire motorcycle by the archaic architecture, performance, unless small and exorbitant cost is not a trivial matter.
Do not forget that 80 years were devoted to the myth of speed and that often the success of a model, it was simply decreed from being faster than the direct competitors.
It 's true that having partners like Roberto Crepaldi, son of the old Ferrari dealer in Milan, and Max Brun, communication and international relations, facilitates the task but the task was to shake my wrists. Brilliant
the gimmick to advertise with beautiful photos accompanied by "poetry" in praise of freedom, adventure, the relationship almost physical with the bike.

"The bike is my freedom" I made my own. If Harley
today are the cultural phenomenon that is largely it is because Talamo. With
Numerotre and Triumph gave our best.
are due to her creativity and her business acumen to create models such as the Triton-based Bonneville Pettinari made to make the Baby Speed, Speed \u200b\u200bTriple and the last, the tail cut off and the underseat exhaust.

Just to mention. On

Talamo has said everything and its opposite: unscrupulous businessman or motorcycle enthusiast?

Perhaps a winning mix of both.

Talamo The lesson is not lost, there is a certain Andrea "Il Capitano" Fountain of Bologna that the story of Talamo has studied it and knows it by heart. The

knows and follows it.

For goodness sake, there's nothing wrong with following the footsteps of a genius of communication as the late Charles without the means and knowledge Crepaldi and Brun.

to invest time and resources in the promotion of a dinosaur in two wheels such as the Royal Enfield and groped to make it become a cultural phenomenon it takes courage.

courage and determination.

Based on the Indian motorcycle Fontana has developed as evocative composition McQueen and the Royal Sportsman as well as a line of clothing and accessories.

Force Captain, the road is the right one ... I cheer for you.

Trenitalia apologizes for the inconvenience



reported today a text written during the big delay of the train a couple of weeks ago, returning from Milan. For the record, it was a delay of 190 minutes. Enjoy the words of that crazy day.

"The lorry has arrived?
This is the question that everyone is doing on the train. Hath been heard the" push "characteristic of engagement of the drive train, but now half an hour has passed and here he has not done not even half a centimeter. We have more street (about 20cm, maybe less) when the driver has given up the brakes of the train, something like a Oretta ago.
But we order, we are stuck just outside Milan-San Giuliano near-about two and a half hours, dispersed into thin cosmic dell'interland Milan. What exactly happened to this train of pipe do not know ... perhaps has the most reliable theories batteries (I did not know that the trains go by batteries such as mobile phones, what a great innovation). Ah, you may have noticed an unusual use of the word "pipe". Yeah, I decided not to be vulgar or obscene in writing this blog, otherwise I do not know where I might end up. Better to be calm and use terms appropriate for all audiences, such as "pofferbacco", "Wow" and the evergreen "perdirindina.
"Let's see if it's loco!" Outside a commuter's desperate. I do not know how to do it, since we are literally walled up inside the train without even the possibility of using the bathrooms.
Someone (me and Quarry) begins to have hallucinations, and switches the lights on the outskirts of Milan for the coast of Lake Garda. After moving to 20cm, someone flipping and supports the view of Lake Como. We are mad.
careful, at 21:01 we move! As you can see's is a very dynamic, he built himself as the train makes its evolution inside the lattice of the tracks. I would pull off some spectacular and romantic image, comparing the train to a big spider web that covers a vast steel, but tonight is really difficult.
The amazing power (remember that drive was almost an hour to decide to leave after he attacked the train, for the "I will support but not push too much class") are looking for (the conditional is a must) to take us In Tavazzano.
extra stop. Why? Why the hell are still, acciderbolina? Managgia the puppets? Porca trout!
Perhaps we are now in Genoa, watching the lights from the window opaque. It looks like a port. There is nothing romantic about this.
time we left. The next stage will be Big Ben apparently. Stopped again. The time to write the 8 words of the preceding sentence. That is, you realize? We will have done 10 meters! How many meters are done by 8 words? It could be a new unit of measurement of speed (or space? Sorry, I struggle to connect). The meter in question. Put your copyright on this thing, going places.
Now, a clarification while I'm doing better in time I write I do not know to what extent, until I get to Tavazzano presume, or until I fall exhausted on the keyboard. Hunger begins with a bit gripped all, the proof is that we are dissecting every possible topic. At this moment the sights of Big Ben ... but how did we get here?
We speak of persons involved in this little drama. Then there's me, Al Cava, Fabri, the Silvia Salini, Garo, Sandro, the Ruling and Alice. Thank goodness we are many, at least you do not risk falling into depression and in turn held up the conversation a little fueling optimism. If not we probably would already have been murders, and the first without a doubt would be the employees of fantabulosi Trenitalia.
Now I turn, I wonder how it will end. "

How did it go? We arrived at the 22E40 Cremona around with the lineup that scored giust'appunto 190 (see photo). Not bad eh?
