2nd bonus picture: this one is not (yet) related to the contest but I love it. Fabio Taglioni, in his late sixties, is portrayed behind one of his most beautiful creations: the pantah 600 TT2. He's holding the ever present cigarette and he looks clearly proud and satisfied of his accomplishment. Now, this is a man close to retirement and one who never raced on a bike. If you met him in the street would you connect him in any way to a splendid race tool like the one in the picture?
Note the rod for the floating rear brake caliper, the electric starter under the front cylinder (unusual on an ultra-light racer) and the gas reservoir with pressure gauge for the rear shock.
Little bastard hint: this picture tells a LOT if you compare it with the pics of the prototypes!
