An unlikely blog to follow I know, but every week I learn something new from Italian Cycling Journal. This week, legendary car maker Maserati unveiled two bikes, one for road racing and the other for more leisurely use. According to Italian Cycling Journal, Maserati bikes were available in the 1970s and has a photo to prove it.
Carlo Maserati, one of the brothers, certainly had an early involvement with bikes having started his career in a bicycle factory near Milan, where he developed an internal combustion engine for a motorised bike. He rode this splendid machine in a number of races winning several titles for his efforts.
Learning about the Maserati bike reminds of my surprise when I saw my first Lamborghini tractor in Italy. It was partly hidden in a barn close to the excellent restaurant, Gavarini, in Mocrone in Lunigiana.
