Italian Classic Motorcycles is a business run by Robert Rech in Barttleboro VT. Robert is from Italy so he knows the language and the motorcycles better than most of us. He specializes in Moto Guzzis and does mechanical repair and restoration on mostly Italian bikes but he always seems to have a good variety of other small European bikes when I have visited his shop. He works from 8am to 6pm weekdays and likes to be contacted by phone (802) 251 0530. He attends many of the shows in the area and also goes to the Daytona and MidOhio shows. He has his shop below his house and a storage garage right next to that which makes for a nice compact business. I have visited Robert's shop a number of times and he has had so many nice small rare European motorcycles that I have been able to photograph that I decided to create a CD of mostly those motorcycles.

I have also included some photos from the European small motorcycle ride called Moto Giro that took place on September 13 in Barre MA. The Moto Giro ride was put on by the Italian Motorcycle Owners Club (IMOC) and both Robert and I rode a 100 mile loop. Robert rode his 1954 Victoria 350 twin and I rode the Vintage Focus business mascot, a Motom 1960 50cc Supersport. In October my brother and I took a ride from my place in Cornish NH to Robert's shop in Brattleboro Vt and I have included a few of those photos too.
