1958 Ducati 175S 175cc, Italy

Dr. Fabio Taglioni is one of the giants of motorcycle design and the man principally responsible for establishing Ducati's reputation as a producer of top-quality sporting motorcycles. This 175S is one of Dr. T's classic desmodromic singles. Desmodromic refers to the mechanical opening and closing of the engine's intake and exhaust valves rather than closing them under spring tension as most internal-combustion engines do.

THE CITROËN DS21

 

Citroën's magnificent, space-age DS turned the motoring world on its head when it launched at the 1955 Paris Auto Salon. Onlookers at the show were stacked ten-deep, gendarmes were called in to control the crowds and visitors began waving their Francs at Citroën representatives to get their deposits down on this most remarkable machine. With such a scene unfolding, it would be easy to assume the DS was an exotic sports car or highly exclusive limousine for the elite. But in fact, Citroën's stunning new creation was a mid-priced family sedan, taking and more than 12,000 deposits on the first day of the show! Despite the humble purpose, the DS was a technological tour de force, featuring hydraulic suspension (pioneered on the Traction Avant's self-leveling rear end), high-pressure self-centering steering, semi-automatic gearbox, radial tires, and four-wheel disc brakes. It was wrapped in a gorgeous, futuristic body penned by Italian sculptor Flaminio Bertoni and French aeronautical engineer Andre Lefebvre. The great French theorist and aesthete Roland Barthes described it as having "fallen from the sky." The DS would go on to become an enduring symbol of French ingenuity, creativity, and Avant Garde style. More than a million were built over 20 years, with everyone from middle-class families to heads of state counted among the proud owners.

 

THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

 

This elegant and sophisticated Citroën DS 21 4-door Sedan was completed at the Parisian Ste Ame Citroën manufacturing facility during December of 1972. The DS was built for the North American market, in the final production year Citroën would market these futuristic machines in the American marketplace. The rare DS 21 looks stunning in its Sky-Blue exterior with white roof, and matching blue and white velour interior. Original ID plates and finishes in compartments attests to a well-preserved example, most likely kept as a special interest car in past decades as opposed to a daily driver. Air conditioning is fitted to keep the passenger cool and comfortable.

Had a blast with my auto-enthusiast friend and neighbor, Fred, at Monterey Car Week 2021.

My first toy and it serves me for more than 5 years. Still running and kicking!

The tank badge of a 1965 registered BSA Bantam Super 175cc two stroke single motorcycle. My first motorcycle was a 1966 second hand Bantam D7. The design was brought from Germany after WW2 as part of war reparations. Originally 125cc, then 150cc, it finished up as 175cc.

 

This excellent museum is near Newborough and contains a good selection of old vehicles, agricultural, military and civilian. It is well worth a visit if you are on Anglesey.

the TV 175 Series III. was launched in 1962 as Innocentis flagship model, Similar in design to the Li 150, but with a different headset with a hexagon shaped headlight, it was the first scooter supplied with an internal disc brake and sleeker styling to the earlier Series 2. The front mudguard is made from fibreglass and much more pointed than the round LI item. The 175 cc engine had a porting layout to produce a higher output of 8.7hp. Also the TV was subject to a few cosmetic changes during the production run. Instead of the standard LI side-panels, it soon received the panels of the Special models and the chrome ring under the headset disappeared.

Bike No.2 for me was this Honda CB175. A twin cylinder 175cc engine gave more than adequate performance (top speed about 70mph) although long journeys were a bit strained. I bought it in 1973 from a friend for about £250, did several thousand miles on it and finally, in 1973, passed my bike test on it.

A rainy day visit to Tacla Taid Anglesey's Transport Museum. Nice and dry on the inside, wet when you had to go outside (although the rain wasn't too bad at this point).

  

Walk back in time and see over 100 classic vehicles dating from the 1920s onward. Set in a replica of a 1940s cobbled street, you can view an assortment of agricultural, military and civilian vehicles including cars, motorbikes, tractors, army trucks, armoured personnel carriers and more. Many of their vehicles have been seen on TV and in movies!

Founded in Milan, Italy, in the 1920s, engineer Fausto Alberti’s Sertum factory produced its first motorcycle – a 175cc side-valve single-cylinder four-stroke – in 1924.

 

Many types of machine were soon to follow, ranging from a humble 120cc two-stroke single to a 498cc side valve twin. Noted for their robust design, Sertum models became popular as endurance trials mounts and also won favour with the Italian military who were to order them in large numbers. Despite a reputation for high quality and a move to a larger, more modern factory in 1950, the bikes never really captured the public imagination and the relocation proved a step too far, production grinding to a halt in 1952.

 

This military issue Sertum is still in its Italian Army trim and is one of the rugged 500cc side valve models that were produced up until 1948, its unit construction engine being housed in a heavy frame with strong top and front tubes ideal for hanging all the military equipment required to go to war.

 

There are no documents with this machine and its exact date of manufacture is unknown. Rarely seen in the UK, this machine is sure to cause a stir on the burgeoning military re-enactment scene and, once recommissioned after long-term display at Stondon, would be ideal for anyone wishing to re-create the raid on Monte Cassino or the North Africa campaign.

Berneg were a Bologna area manufacturer, active between 1954 and 1961.

The Classic Motorcycle Racing Register has been running the Classic Motorcycle Festival in Auckland, New Zealand, for 40 years. The range of machinery on the track is of equal quality to any event held world wide. The club runs all classic events held in the North Island of New Zealand and includes both regularity events and racing to cater for the largest number of riders. A great weekend with good summer weather and well worth my trip from the south. I have not finished sorting the photos yet so have another 100 or so to add. If you would like larger copies without watermarks just ask, I can provide them at no cost.

I have added the watermark after a journalist has used, and continues to use, my photos for a magazine article and their website without asking. Anyway (returning to a happy place), I hope you enjoy viewing the photos.
