Moto Guzzi factory film

Post by Michael_Moore »

Here's a 1956 film that starts and ends with some GP footage and
shows the manufacturing, inspection and assembly of parts for a
500 Moto Guzzi single engine.

Nice film. Doesn't look like much has changed, except for more CNC use. There are still some things that require the human touch.

Memories...

Gilera was a competitor of Moto Guzzi
An old song goes like this: Piuttosto che la donna mi compro la Gilera, vado a spasso mattina e sera...
Rather that a woman I get my a Gilera, cruse around morning and evening...

Those were the day when most youg men had a motorcycle for work, school and pleasure, the girlfriend would ride "english" becuse of the skirt.

125CC was popular, 150CC OK and 175CC real sporty, 250CC was top of the line.
