Skeeve Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I met these Germans on Aermacchi-Harley Davidsons near Cortina. They were just returning from the Gyro d'Italia. Can you imagine pounding the Alps into submission on 175cc ringdingers? YEEHAW! 54825[/snapback] Great writeup; thanks for sharing! IANAL, & I don't play one on tv, nor do I intend to criticize your excellent story, but the Aermacchi in the picture is a 4-stroke; AFAIK, the Aermacchi 2-strokes are all marked Harley-Davidson, & none of them have (had) lay-down cylinders. Even so, pounding the Alps into submission on roughly 40 year-old 175cc 4-strokes is still mighty impressive! Kudos to them! Thanks again for the great pics & story!

Orson Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 Thanks for the correction I guess I associated the Aermacchi-Harley Davidsons with their 250cc GP race bikes of the 70's when Harley won a couple of 250cc World Championships, so I assumed they were two strokes.
