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.
