Hello,

I'm not britisch so i hope you excuse my englisch writting, with wil be ful of mistakes. My name is Ivo and got infected around 35 year ago wen i inhereted the Vespa of my grandfather at age of around 12. I stil have this motorcycle and it has a nice history itselve. My grandfather born 1900, went to the wolds fare in Brussels 1958. He went with a bus and came back with this brand new Vespa, driving around 120 km. He bought it for his sons (6 of them) to use, but my father being the secound yougest was luky to have it as last goining the army at age of 18. The yougest was even more lucky as he got a car. Citroen 8.

So i grow up with the Vespa in the garage, and also the citroen folowed.
Of age 12 i colected scooters in general, finding them for spares for my vespa. In a little time i had around 40 scooters in my garage.


Got tyred of them and sold all but the vespa and bought a Indian Big chief
wile looking for a Harley. This chief is stil around. A harley came also but i sold it last year after 25 years in my posesion. lots of other bikes came also, but i got maried and that made buying a car. A Ford model A Cabriolet with is my pride and joy, but now getting smal for my kids.
Therefor i have a 1910 american tourer and as i like also sportscars, im building a brooklands racer on a Lanchester chassis.

All you can reed and see at my blog www.bloggen.be/pre1930rally or google Trektocht der Pioniers.'

Hope you enjoy it.
