1954 Gilera 500


 1954 Gilera racer with, what I guess could be described as a half fairing. I like the way the fairing lines are incorporated into the tank. Very handsome bike.

And all hand-whupped aluminum, I'm sure. It's beautiful in a way that would make me ride it just as well as I could; no, better.

Wonder if Italian vocational schools steered deaf youngsters toward careers in artisanal panel beating, like American deaf schools taught kids to operate Linotype machines and other fiercely noisy apparati.
