So what is it worth?

Over the last 12 months my mailbag is full of people wanting to know about a bike on auction, a bike for sale on ebay, one they've seen in a dealers. The same questions so I've added a "valuations section". Or more correctly a "Moto Parilla" FAQ.

GP Rider updates & corrections

Richards account of his 1964 Continental Circus travels & racing exploits has created a great deal of interest in the couple of years they have been on the site. In that time new and corrected information has come to light or has been passed on to Richard by readers of his account. This information has been included in a site update to the sections concerned.

GP rider update

Oooh, its a racer # 2!

In a seemingly endless parade of genuinely dire "auction racers" may I present:

To be auctioned in Vegas on Friday 13th of January...unlucky for some?

Oooh, it actually is a racer!

A great article in the current edition of "Classic Racer" magazine on the life of Eraldo Ferracchi ( better known for his Ducati tuning brand Fast by Ferracci) reveals he raced a Moto Parilla Hi-cam in Italy before moving to the USA. Get the magazine as its a good read & always features period pix from their extensive archive. Hope both Eraldo & Mortons media don't mind me clipping the Moto Parilla pic.....

Put it together: 

One way to nail together your  Parilla HiCam engine - yes it is possible to rebuild an engine! If case polishing & unblued exhaust pipes are your thing then don't waste any valuable buffing opportunities by reading this.

No qualifications for writing this other than I've probably broken more Parilla parts than you & this might save you doing the same thing...maybe.

Usual disclaimers - basically - don't come complaining to me when  when it breaks
