Thrifted a few volumes of a motorcycle encyclopedia today. Thought some of y'all might enjoy a look.

The scary part is that it looks to be a Cento, haha… I bet the director of "Water World" wishes he'd thought of that.

If I could justify it, I'd have bought the whole 25 volume set. Complete history of motorcycling from the late 19th century to 1979.

Nice thrifting Mac, you have a good eye. Thanks for so many clean detailed scans but now I need to see these on a bigger screen than just my phone! 🤳
I can't tell, does that 75cc Lui motor have some bevel gears ⚙️ in there???

Hey, thx man! I'm sure it'll come as no surprise that I have no idea what the story is with that engine.
Scrambler all tarted up to race.
