I visited Bruno 2002 and it is the most comprehensive collection of Parillas on the planet!

I've just brought back a 1954 Parilla 150 two stroke from Italy and the frame looks identical.

Yes I have the big book on Parilla by Bruno Baccari (though it is in Italian it has awesome photos). I would love to visit his museum some day.

The goto guy for information about Parilla motorcycles is an Italian guy called Bruno Baccari. He has a museum in Modigliana, province of Forli Italy and is the "president" of the Parilla registry.

@MichiCipoten You are correct and very observant that the license plate is Dutch. The owner from Netherlands sold the bike to a classic motorcycle dealer in Belgium. He sold it to me. I tried to get in touch with the Dutch former owner to get more history on the bike but he never answered my emails in both English and translated to Dutch.

also if you look on the website "Parilla UK" under the owner section mine is the one at the top.

They are nice machines. I have 2 but they are fragile. i met Bruno when he came to the USA., He spoke no english so his son tranlated. It was a great experiance

[@mdrcsail88]

@peroduanippa cool, do you have any links to pics of your bike?

[@gaseyes]

that's why we are proud to be Italians

[@peroduanippa]

if you look on my youtube videos you'll see a short video I made of my bike.
