Darrell,
Thanks for the info, just looking at the Italian singles that I've seen, I thought that maybe they were all made by the same company. I rode my 73 Eldorado to Mid Ohio, but luckily, my son is now old enough to drive, so he drove the Ford/trailer combo and hauled a few of our other bikes out, one of which is my 1968 Sears 124 Gilera. Like your Ducati, it is a perfect pit bike for that event. The other "small" bikes I have are a 1951 BMW R25, and a 1966 Ducati 250 Scrambler, both of which are in dire need of a restoration, most likely will be winter projects over the next few years. My Sears bike is a real gem, runs great and looks great. Someday, it would be nice to find a Guzzi single....

Nope, not really. I think I have seen some Cimatti mopeds before. Did the
motorcycles use Minarelli or Morini engines? Do you have one? Looking for
parts? I run across stuff. We do have an old Moto Beta engine that I
think is really a Morini.

Our little bikes are slightly more "mainstream", heh, heh. Ducatis,
Benellis, and Aermacchis. I should have a Sears/Gilera pretty soon too.

I rode my little Ducati 160 Monza Jr. over to the looper gathering at Mid
Ohio. The little Duc turned out to be great Mid Ohio pit bike.

Best Regards,

Darrell

Hi Bill,

Nope, the Gilera (Sears), the Benelli (Wards Riverside), the
Aermacchis (HD) and the Guzzi Stornello are all individual
designs.
 The engines are all individual and unique. The cycle parts are
sometimes interchangeable, they were usually purchased from the
same
 Italian vendors like Marzocchi, Ceriani, Silentium, CEV, Aprilia,

 Magneti-Marelli, Dansi, Guiliari, etc. I own quite a few of these

 little bikes, and have have worked on or sold a lot of others in
the
 past.

Never had a small Guzzi single though, but it is on my wish list.

Hey Loopers;
This doesn't apply to Loops, but never the less, I thought
someone out there might be able to answer this for me. I took a
look
 at the photos that John so kindly shared with us, and saw #18, the

 Guzzi 125 single, and it made me wonder about something...I have a

 1968 Sears/Gilera 124cc, and I've seen Aeramacchi singles,they,
along withthis particular Guzzi single, all are almost identical,

 same frame/motor configuration, same shocks, same exhaust,same
forks, same fenders...what gives? Did one company in Italy make
singles, then all the rest sell them as them own? If so, who made

 them all? Guzzi? Not like this is a life or death question, just
wondering....
