Vintage Italian Motorcycles Photographed 2007

Photographs of Vintage Italian Motorcycles Taken by Vintage Focus in 2007
A CD of 3100 JPEG photographs to view on your computer
A DVD slideshow movie of 1500 photos to watch on you TV

This is a collection of 3100 photos of vintage Italian motorcycles we took while attending 18 motorcycle meets and exhibitions during 2007. The years range from 1948 up to about 1985. Every vintage Italian bike we saw got photographed if possible. Most of the time on the CD we have a full 16 photo profile of each motorcycle showing great detail. At other times there are fewer photos or just a single photo of a bike and rider going by. The smaller bikes are well represented but there are plenty of Ducati and Moto Guzzi twins and other larger motorcycles too. Some of the bikes are quite rare in this country such as a 1958 Mi-Val or a 1952 Rumi Gobbetto. Others are more common such as a 1974 Ducati 750GT or a 125cc Wards Riverside (Benelli).

If you appreciate Italian motorcycles you will enjoy this collection of photos. It is highly unlikely there is a more complete collection of photographs of vintage Italian motorcycles seen in the US.

Vintage Focus traveled to 18 motorcycle meets and exhibits during 2007. When possible we traveled by motorcycle but sometimes by plane and auto. Our objective was to take as many photos as possible of the motorcycles we encountered. Often this was a full 16 photo profile of the motorcycle showing great detail. The situations were often challenging with tight spaces, low light and movement but we did the best we could and even enjoyed the extra flavor these real life situations added to the photographs. We ended the year with 33,000 photos added to our collection. We attended some great meets and saw many very special motorcycles. The vast majority of the photos are of good quality but we move very quickly when photographing and a few are a little blurry or too light or too dark but we included as many as we could on our CDs and DVDs for completeness. A customer might just want to see a particular view even if the photo is slightly off.

The CD is like a big folder of files. You put the CD in your computer and bring up the CD as a folder and click the first photo to have it displayed and then your viewer should allow you to move forward and back and display them as a slide show. You can click on each folder to see the photos grouped within the folder. You will be able to see detail and zoom in. Many cycles have 16 views. If the owner has an indentification label then a photo of that is included otherwise the motorcycles are not identified but your should have more than enough detail to identify it yourself. Sometimes there are fewer views or just a single photo of bike and rider going by. The CD has 3100 photos on it as 1280x960 jpeg files. The photos in each folder are grouped by the events the photos were taken at. And the events are ordered chronologically by the date they occured (earliest to latest). As you step to a new event there are a few slides with a short description about the event. The photo file names start with the year (e = 2007) and event (a through r). Slides are included that lists all events and their tag letter and date. So a photo starting with eb is a 2007 Half Moon Bay photo. The CD ID is CD 07_22

The DVD has the same photos but could only hold 1500 so many views had to be eliminated from the DVD. But there is at least one photo of almost every motorcycle on the CD. The DVD can be supplied in NTSC (US and Canda) format or PAL (Most other places). I will supply the format standard for your country unless your specify different. The DVD ID is DVD 07_22
