Title: Italian Motors Exotica
Post by: FJ1100mjk on September 13, 2015, 04:50:22 PM
Put some huge miles on the FJ1100 today. About 30. Beautiful day for a ride here around the lakes of the Twin Cities, and to end up at an annual event called Wheels of Italy.

Bikes first. No new stuff, see enough of that in magazines anyways.

Laverda from the FJ period...

Nice brakes on it...

Alfa Romeo 4C. Nice lines...

A Lamborghini. Must have been something special, and of course, pricey. A lot of Italian aficionados having their pictures taken near it...

Something nice surely resides under the plastic see-through engine cover...

A good friend of mine from high school owns that green framed Bimoto "'Tesi"

He's owned a lot of cool shit throughout years:
