For the very first time, the organizers of the Concours D'Elegance Villa D'Este showed a special exhibition of motorcycles at Villa Erba.
BMW, main sponsor, and motorcycle-producer
wants to establish a Concours for 2-wheelers, a good idea,
but I have to admit that I'm
absolutely not interested in motorcycles... Sorry...
I didn't even manage to take
at least one photo of each motorbike that was shown...
I hope that the enthusiasts
forgive me that I just show the pictures that I have taken, without any
comment,
at least I was able to identify
the differencses between a Harley-Davidson and a Vespa...
