 Tonti-ism January 18, 2008
Of most interest to me was that this book has some information about Lino Tonti's involvement with Aermacchi. Between this book and the Moto Guzzi Lemans book by Ian Falloon, and maybe a few articles on the net you can piece together Tonti's career. Tonti made a huge impact on both Aermacchi and Moto Guzzi. Aermacchi = Harley Sprint BTW in case you for some reason didn't know. Harley did a deal with Aermacchi to market their wonderful singles in the U.S, etc. These bikes were sold in the U.S. at Harley Dealers from around 1961-1974. By the way... my favorite model is the 250cc C model. Many like the 250cc H model. Probably anyone [except my wife perhaps] would like to have one of the racier Italian models! And don't forget the 'before it's time' full-bodied mono-shock absorber Chimera from 1960! Every model of Aermacchi imaginable is covered in this book. The pictures are in color and are too cool. In fact I'm going to go thumb through it for a half hour or so right now...
 Mick Walker Arm Chair Book # 52 October 24, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The prolific Mr Walker has produced a bevy of Motorcycle books. This one, covering the Aermacchi / Harley-Davidson lightweights. I call it an Arm Chair book because I doubt if Mr. Walker got out of his Arm Chair to put it together. It has the usual history and pictures all gleaned from factory archives. Good photos from friends and racers. It is certainly a Euro book. As Mr. Walker's main focus is roadracing. In the USA the Sprint 250 CRS was used as a Flat track racer,and most Ameicans know it as such. There is not even a photo of a CRS in the book. Sadly ,there was no research done on the American side save a few H-D motor company brochure reprints. If you are a Euro roadracing fan, its a pretty good book.
