Forza Guzzi | Wenn Der Adler Seine Schwingen Zum Flug Ausbreitet – Teil 1: Rennsport Text: Jürgen Kießlich | Fotos: Archiv Jürgen Kießlich | Info Forza Guzzi | Wenn der Adler seine Schwingen zum Flug ausbreitet – Teil 1: Rennsport Text: Jürgen Kießlich | Fotos: Archiv Jürgen Kießlich Bei der Nennung des Namens der Ortschaft Mandello del Lario, wird eine bestimmte Fraktion von Motorradfahrern hellwach, es sind die Liebhaber der italienischen Traditions- marke Moto Guzzi. Das ist die älteste Motorradfabrik von Europa und die zweitälteste der Welt überhaupt. Der Begründer, Carlo Guzzi, wurde 1888 geboren und hatte in früher Jugend Kontakt zu einer Motorenwerkstatt, dort entdeckte er seine Leidenschaft zur Fahr- zeugtechnik. Mit Beginn des 1. Weltkriegs wurde er 1914 als Techniker zum Militär bei der noch jungen Luftwaffe eingezogen. Hier lernt er die Piloten Ravelli und Parodi kennen, deren Flugzeuge er mit zu warten hatte. Die beiden jungen Männer sind im privaten Leben bereits leidenschaftliche Motorradrennfahrer. Dieses Hobby verbindet die drei, und das Trio schmiedet Pläne zum Bau einer Rennmaschine nach Beendigung des Krieges. schaft mit vielen hochinteressan- ten Maschinen in verschiedenen Hubraumklassen und berühmten Fahrerpersönlichkeiten. 1932 errangen Riccardo Bru- si und 1937 Omoboni Tenni die Europameisterschaft der Vier- telliter-Kategorie auf den Mo- dellen mit den Adlerschwingen. Erst ab 1933 bis 1939 standen die Werksfahrer damit am Start, ab 1938 auf den „Monoalbero Compressore“. Weitere EM-Titel errangen nach dem Krieg 1947 Omoboni Tenni in der 500-ccm- Klasse und Bruno Francisci mit der 250er-„Albatros“ sowie im Folgejahr Maurice Cann in der gleichen Kategorie.

  • Grand Prix World Tour 2014
    IVAO GP World Tour 2014 Grand Prix World Tour 2014 You are more than welcome on the Grand Prix World Tour 2014! The 2014 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season will be the 66th F.I.M. Road Racing World Championship season. Created by: Laszlo Geller (VID: 260564) IVAO GP World Tour 2014 What is Grand Prix? Boasting 63 years of history, MotoGP™ is the oldest of all motorsports World Championships - its first annual competition having been held in 1949.From the early 1900s motorcycle Grands Prix were held in various countries and in 1938 the predecessor to the current FIM, the FICM (Fédération Internationale des Clubs Motocyclistes), announced a European Championship. However, the start of the Second World War interrupted the competition and it then took some time after the war for fuel to become available, before a truly international series could be created. EARLY DAYS When the first formal World Championship was held in 1949 Grand Prix racing comprised four solo classes, with the inaugural ‘premier class’ 500cc title being won by British rider Leslie Graham on AJS machinery. Another Brit, Freddie Frith (Velocette) took the first ever 350cc World title, while Italians Bruno Ruffo (Moto Guzzi) and Nello Pagani (Mondial) were the first 250cc and 125cc World Champions respectively. A 600cc sidecar championship in the same season was won by Britons Eric Oliver and Denis Jenkinson with Norton machinery, though the sidecar category became a 500cc competition in 1951. The Italian manufacturers such as the aforementioned Mondial and Moto Guzzi firms, along with companies such as Gilera and MV Agusta, dominated the World Championships during the 1950s, reflecting the strength of the country’s motorcycle industry at the time.

  • Note 138: Isle of Man TT Mountain Circuit:- Course
    P.1 of 9 Note 138 Isle of Man TT Mountain circuit:- Course Records Writing Note 137 about Indianapolis reminded this author that there is another circuit used for racing since 1911 which is almost unchanged – the Isle of Man Mountain circuit. This Note reviews the course records achieved there by Tourist Trophy motor-cycles and puts them in perspective with the machine Power/Weight ratios. The Mountain course of 37.73 miles used since 1920* rises to a height of 1,400 feet. It had a large surface change from mostly loose to tarmacadamed by 1925 and has had many corners “eased” since then but its plan is essentially unchanged. Unlike Indianapolis, with its 4 left-hand quarter- circle corners, it has 264 bends of every description! The plan is shown below. DASO 1246 *For the 1911-1914 races the course was 37.7 miles. In 1920 a change was made for the last few miles from Cronk-ny-Mona to bring the Start/Finish line onto the Glencrutchery Road. Course Record list As there does not seem to be readily available a consolidated list of outright Course Records one has been assembled from various sources. It is given in Appendix A at P. 6. There may be omissions. The figures are plotted on Fig. 1 at P.2 below, with various appropriate notes.

  • Kevin Thompson Talks About the 850Ss / Monza
    Kevin Thompson Talks About the 850ss / Monza A brief history of events with Agusta Concessionaires GB operations circa late 1970s. The Bate family owners of Haymil motors Slough were the original importers of Saab cars to the UK and after Saab set up its own import operations the Bate's struck a deal with Agusta to import there motorcycles into the UK. The company Agusta Concessionaires GB was set up and run by Peter Bate and other's from there car retail operations in Farnham Common (near Slough). On a visit there I realised they were all car people and could not ride a motorcycle, no one there even had a licence to do so. Peter offered me a job there and then as I was a motorcycle mechanic with a licence. In the first week we drove down to the factory in Italy where I was updated with some factory training on these motorcycles. From there on I made visits every 2 months to liaise with the factory and either pick up bikes and or spares. We imported a total of 99 4 cylinder America model machines into the UK in the late 1970s. Some were spoked wheels, Scarab brakes, 789cc engine but with standard American market exhaust.
