Asimotoshow 2013 ASIMOTOSHOW 2013 Asimotoshow 2013: 10, 11 e 12 maggio a Varano de’ Melegari L’Automotoclub Storico Assisano partecipa alla dodicesima festa del motociclismo storico all’Autodromo "Riccardo Paletti" di Varano de' Melegari (PR) con una mostra statica di moto Perugina , fiore all'occhiello della produzione umbra degli anni passati. L’A.S.I. (Automotoclub Storico Italiano) sta per aprire le porte all’Asimotoshow 2013, che si svolge all’Autodromo Riccardo Paletti di Varano de' Melegari (PR) il 1, 11 e 12 maggio. La celebre manifestazione raccoglie un’infinità di temi e spunti per celebrare la storia del motociclismo ed i suoi più grandi protagonisti. A cominciare dalla Parata dei Campioni, che vede nomi del calibro di 1 / 10 ASIMOTOSHOW 2013 Phil Read , Carlos Lavado , Marco Lucchinelli , Pier Paolo Bianchi , Eugenio Lazzarini e Freddie Spencer. ANNIVERSARI PRESTIGIOSI L’occasione è quella giusta per festeggiare traguardi importanti. Come il “compleanno” di H arley-Davidson (110 candeline), nel quale non mancherà una folta rappresentanza di modelli della casa di Milwaukee. Segue per anzianità la britannica Velocette , giunta anche lei al traguardo dei 100 anni, rappresentata da una decina di modelli in esposizione. Infine, orgoglio italiano con i 40 anni della Bimota , con la parata d’onore in pista. 2 / 10 ASIMOTOSHOW 2013 LE MOSTRE TEMATICHE 3 / 10 ASIMOTOSHOW 2013 Grazie al Registro Storico Benelli saranno presenti a Varano 15 motociclette tra le quali 3 M orbidelli da Gran Premio , 3 Motobi Corsa , esemplari di MBA , Parisienne , Piovaticci , Sanvenero , 4 Benelli Grand Prix 350 e 500 che furono guidate da Pasolini e Saarinen e la 250 con la quale Kel Carruthers si laureò Campione del Mondo nel 1969 . All’esordio a Varano 20 moto Tomos (ex Jugoslavia) , 10 rarissime Moto Perugina e le Rudge & Python, con una rarità, rappresentata da una Rudge TTR 250 cc a 4 valvole radiali, trasformata da aste e bilancieri a doppio albero a camme in testa. A completare il quadro le esposizioni del Registro Storico Gilera , della Squadra corse Laverda , del Team MV Agusta , del Team Stefan Friedl 4 / 10 ASIMOTOSHOW 2013 , del Team dei Sidecar , il Registro Storico Ariel e le moto da corsa dell’ Amicale Spirit of Speed. Insieme a queste tante altre marche meno conosciute, divenute rarissimi pezzi da collezione. IL CIRCUITO DEL LARIO Uno spazio sarà riservato anche alla mostra fotografica sul Circuito del Lario, una gara massacrante attraverso 200 km o più di strade sterrate , capostipite delle moderne corse in moto italiane. Il Club Antiche Moto di Brianza e il Veteran Car Club di Como saranno presenti con 30 moto per ricreare l’atmosfera di questa magica competizione, disputatasi per 15 volte dal 1921 al 1939. Gianmarco Maspes , grande studioso della celebre corsa su strada, la farà rivivere attraverso immagini inedite delle imprese dei grandi centauri italiani quali Varzi , Nuvolari , Tenni e Pagani . PASOLINI E SAARINEN Un momento, dedicato al ricordo, quello più triste, legato alla scomparsa di due grandi campioni come Renzo Pasolini e Jarno Saarinen. A 40 anni dall’ incidente di Monza avvenuto il 20 maggio 1973, il Registro Storico Aermacchi sarà presente con una mostra fotografica , allestita negli spazi ASI, per ricordare i due piloti che persero la vita al Curvone di Monza. 5 / 10 ASIMOTOSHOW 2013 Un tragico episodio che cambiò le corse e portò ad accrescere la sicurezza sulle piste. Il Registro Storico Aermacchi esporrà immagini messe a disposizione dalla famiglia Pasolini. Alla mostra fotografica seguirà una parata in pista , guidata da Renzo Pasolini junior e dal campione Chas Mortimer (anche lui in gara quel giorno insieme ai due piloti scomparsi) seguiti da numerosi appassionati in sella ad Aermacchi Ala Oro , Benelli GP e Yamaha . UNA PARENTESI ROSA All’Asimotoshow non mancherà la presenza femminile. Sarà infatti presente al raduno parmense la parigina Sophie Smith, giornalista e presentatrice televisiva che vanta persino un fan club in Italia. La sua prima moto fu una Triton 650 per il suo esordio a Nogaro. Sophie porta a Varano una originale S eeley G50 ex Woodman . Il nostro Paese sarà rappresentato da Nadia Rossi campionessa nazionale sidecar nel 2004, 2005 e 2007, passeggera del pluricampione europeo Walter Galbiati . MOTO MOLARONI, LA STORIA IN UN LIBRO Sabato 11 maggio alle ore 13.00 si aprirà una parentesi culturale, con la presentazione di un nuovo volume edito da ASI Service, intitolato “Moto 6 / 10 ASIMOTOSHOW 2013 Molaroni ”. Un libro che racchiude l’interessante storia di una famiglia che si è dedicata a multiformi attività, con un membro, Flavio, appassionato delle due ruote. Una vera e propria “avventura industriale”, una delle tante di un’epoca in cui i costruttori di motociclette in Italia si contavano a centinaia. Il libro è scritto da Paolo Prosperi , grande cultore della marca pesarese e Presidente del Registro Storico Benelli , l’altro (più) famoso marchio di Pesaro, che mosse i primi passi praticamente insieme a Molaroni . L’autore, in circa 300 pagine, non racconta solo la storia di Flavio e della sua passione, durata dal 1921 al 1926, ma la inserisce nel particolare contesto storico, politico e sociale del tempo , caratterizzato da eventi che avrebbero influenzato la vita dell’Italia per i successivi venti anni e i destini dei Molaroni stessi. Prosperi narra del suo incontro con la storia della Marca (famosa, prima che per le motociclette, nel settore ceramiche e legname) in occasione delle sue ricerche storiche sulla Benelli, quando si imbatte in un articolo di Motociclismo del febbraio 1921 , il quale annuncia che la Società Anonima Industrie Molaroni lancerà sul mercato una nuova motocicletta che si chiamerà, appunto, Moto Molaroni. Una storia breve ma intensa, che Paolo Prosperi ha riportato alla luce e presenterà in occasione dell’ Asimotoshow . PRESENTAZIONE HONDA CB 1100 Honda Italia presenterà agli appassionati dell’Asimotoshow la nuova Honda CB1100 . Una moto nella quale originalità , design , carattere e prestazioni bilanciate si incontrano con il 7 / 10 ASIMOTOSHOW 2013 look vintage . Ad oltre 40 anni di distanza dall’uscita della storica Honda CB750 Four , la CB1100 si propone come sua reincarnazione ( cliccate qui per vederle insieme in un video ). Honda ha scelto di esporla ad Asimotoshow convinta che il pubblico presente a Varano saprà apprezzare questa reinterpretazione in chiave moderna di una moto che ha fatto storia. LA PARATA DEI CAMPIONI L’evento si chiuderà con la Parata dei Campioni, che vedrà in pista, oltre ai piloti già citati all'inizio dell'articolo, Paolo Campanelli , Pier Francesco Chili , Roberto Gallina , Gian Franco Bonera , Sammy Miller , Jean Francois Baldè , Tony Smith , Jean Claude Castella , Vittorio Zito , Fabio Biliotti , Remo Venturi , Paolo Binarelli , Sergio Bongiovanni , Augusto Brettoni , 8 / 10 ASIMOTOSHOW 2013 Fosco Giansanti , Kiki Guglielminetti , Gianni Perrone , Marco Dall’Aglio e i sidecaristi Franco Martinel , Guido Sala e Franco Donati . www.asifed.it 9 / 10 ASIMOTOSHOW 2013 10 / 10.

  • Ducati Museum
    Ducati Museum Past and future, challenges and successes, vision and determination: the Ducati Museum is a journey through the legendary 90-year history of the Company, renowned across the world for its style, performance and the search for perfection. Each product is a work of art. A story told using language composed of shapes and colours, emphasised by delicate, ethereal staging. An intense adventure, in which every bike exhibited becomes a true work of art to be experienced. The new Ducati Museum is characterised by its very modern concept, in which the colour white dominates so as to ensure that the product takes centre stage, with no distractions. Each bike exhibited is a work of art, a story told using a language composed of shapes and colours and emphasised by dedicated installations. In addition, the new Ducati Museum exudes the Ducati brand identity of Style, Sophistication and Performance. With its new look, the Ducati Museum is a journey through legendary Ducati history, to the heart of a company in which every product is conceived, designed and created to provide unique emotions. The new Ducati Museum has an entire area dedicated to some of the most iconic road bikes that have contributed to making the company’s history so great. And it is here that the story of the so-called “production bike” is recounted in its entirety, or rather, the conception and development of the project in very particular technological, economic and social contexts. This leads to the Museum’s new narrative, developed according to three paths: the history of Ducati production bikes and the social and cultural context in which they are conceived; the racing history with exhibits including race bikes and winners’ trophies, and finally the ‘Ducati heroes’, or rather the Ducati riders themselves.

In the field of powered two-wheelers, the very first to be available in Italy were those manufactured by Hildebrand and Wolfmuller of Germany, which were sold by the Max Turkeiner organisation of Milan around 1895. Other sources in those early days were the great American marques, such as ACE, Harley-Davidson, Henderson and Indian. The first pure-bred Italian motorcycles made their appearance at the Programme cover for the last beginning of the 20th century and included Bianchi, Borgo, Prinetti & ever Giro d’ Italia (Tour of Stucchi and Ferrera. Italy), 6th-14th April 1957. By the 1920s these companies had been joined, or replaced, by a number of newer concerns. Then came a period when the pentarchia (the famous ‘big five‘ Italian bike builders), comprising Benelli, Bianchi, Garelli, Gilera and Guzzi, fought tooth and nail for a share of the market.

Photo by Amulree Page 1 Secretary’s Notes Hi Everyone, Since the last magazine the weather has been pretty good with hopefully lots of riding for you all. The Classic TT, Festival of Jurby and MGP Rally are now a distant memory, and I really must thank all those who turned out to help and support our Section in its endeavours we could not run these events, especially Jurby, without you. The Regularity Run and Concours on the Green was a great attraction even though it was an unexpected race day. Looking back, the whole event was a brilliant success both financially and organisation wise but, like all good events, we cannot rest on our laurels but must come up with new ideas for 2016.
