I bought the bike at the factory in Balogna in 1970, where Fabio Taglioni showed me how to look after it.
I then rode it around the Iberian Peninsula (Spain & Portugal) to England from which I shipped it to the US.
When I came to Australia, a few years later, The Department of Immigration shipped it here, along with other personal possessions.
In the early 1980s, I dismantled it, because I married a lady with 2 teenage sons, hoping to avoid either of them getting hurt, or damaging the bike.
After a stroke in 1999, I completely rebuilt it (2017-2018) using original parts and genuine 'NOS' replacements.
