But look on the bright side - the next Mike Hailwood might just have been born and might benefit from Giancarlo's good work. - Like buses, there is always another coming along in a minute.

I can console myself with the knowledge that I could not afford to live with any of those bikes. What could you do with them which would not be a waste ?

When the Morbidelli 125s came to Australia, the fast guys were riding TZ250s - the Morbidellis were faster. There is a guy near me who still has one. It is neck and neck with a Honda RS125.
