Day 32- Antonio, Pino, Alfio @ museum

Today Teo took me to a restoration parts business to buy the missing bits for our Ercole.

 Then we went to Antonio 's place to see his bikes. There are 3 rooms of bikes the first room is a huge collection of Falcone and other bikes. The second room has many other interesting bikes including the red frame V7 sport. There is a trap in the second room. He has a Galletto in the front. If you comment on it or show interest in preference to the rare bikes you don't get to see the 3rd room. Luckily I passed the test. In the 3rd room resides the most smashing collection of factory race bikes in existence. No exaggeration.

In the afternoon we had s traditional Italian lunch at Pino's before going with him and Alfio to the museum. It was like we arrived with Rock stars. Alfio sat on any bike he wanted to and posed for photos 

This wAa a race bike built by Teo. Alfio rode it in the endurance races. 
This is s Dr john Daytona race bike. The sand cast crank case is No3. No1 is still in use in Australia. 
In the evening we were invited to the local club meeting. It was a huge piss up
