Races

One Sunday, I joined a vintage car and motorcycle club race near Viterbo, Italy. I showed up with my 1972 Kawasaki KH 500, a two-stroke, three-cylinder beast with pure racing attitude. I still remember checking the carburetion before the event, and thanks to my friend Marcello, a true engine expert, I was able to hit the track without any issues.

It was a fantastic day: lots of fun, plenty of participants – mostly friends – and we “challenged” each other on a stretch of road closed to traffic just for this event. Good vibes, good laughs, and the unforgettable sound of old engines roaring together.

Still riding the same Yamaha TT 600 I bought in 1988 the one you see in the photo. My first one was back in 1984, both brand-new. That bike was my adventure buddy for years and gave me endless fun.

Back in 1988, at the “Capodiferro” motocross track in Viterbo (Italy), motorally was at its peak—fueled by the spirit of the Paris-Dakar. I was on my Yamaha TT 600, lined up for a timed special stage, focused and ready to launch. Next to me stood the race official with the stopwatch in hand, and just behind us my friend Enzo waiting for his turn. Pure enduro vibes from another era.
