Perhaps the most ambitious, & exciting,
use for any Italian lightweight. The good news for
the Parilla owner is that the hicam 175 has a dispensation which
allows models registered later than the event cutoff of 1957
to compete. So your 1961 175SS can take part. Getting it to the finish
every day will be one of the most enjoyable, or frustrating, experiences
of your motorcycling life. The outcome will depend on the the level of
preparation you are prepared to put in prior to the event to ensure a
finish without spending every resting hour on the event charging
batteries, replacing fried ignition coils or now-wobbly wheel bearings.
The most popular Parilla entered in the Giro is the 175 hicam. This may
or may not be the best model but as it was the winner of the last event
in 1957 it is an appropriate choice. |
