That's some Auto Jumble. Puts ours to shame. I generally dont do them but I'd definitely walk round there.

Same,not really my thing.I was put onto this via a scooter dealer(I'm after a Rally 200/SS180)It just happened to fall into place with me Rimini stopover.For the €15 it was worth the visit,even to see how other countries do it.They did this very well.

I’ll have the Li Silver Special please

They wanted top doller for each and every scooter there.They've wised up to the value(especially the English interest, that i had been forewarned about)Some LI 150'S were €4500,absolutely mad money considering they are falling off a cliff here.

There’s been an excellent eclectic mix of sights and sites in this trip report.

I recall seeing the little Minarelli bikes racing in the 50cc and 125cc categories at the old Assen circuit. Very competitive, I seem to remember.

The colours are the first thing that attracted me to this little chap,then start really looking at it.The forced induction catches the eye,all one seat cowl,mudguard, front suspension.Bet it was entertaining to ride.

I think they raced in that colour scheme?

The little 50 cc races were something else. 20 bikes into the corner; the rider in 20th emerged first. Happy days.

Thanks for rekindling happy memories.
