Cool old stuff

[Tom M]

Go HERE and scroll down to the photos section to see some neat old stuff including this grass track Guzzi hack.

 

"Ivar de Gier sent me these photos of a Moto Guzzi grass-track outfit. Ivar told me : the grasstrack sidecar racer was built in the beginning of the seventies by Dutchman (later he moved to Norway) Maarten Mager. The engine was tuned with the help of the Guzzi factory, and the combination won a string of grass track races throughout the beginning of the seventies in both Scandinavia and Holland. "

I've never met him, but Maarten Mager is abit of a legend and has been the crankshaft of the Guzzi-community for many many years here in Norway: importer, racer, tuner with an unholy interest in sidecars... He deals now in bikegear, Wilbers Shocks, bikeoutfits and whatever.

and his website is
