That's from memory - been around bikes a while now.

It's OK - I have my anorak hanging in the hall ready to go :cool:.

Most of those are defunct now, but plenty still show up at the classic shows and runs - which I like to attend and I have are few friends that are classic Italian nuts - most of those in my list are ones I have been lucky enough to ride, there are others that I can't remember.

CAF - EO. In precisely the same way Vespas never will be, (even though I like them too ;))

Not too sure about this one... Husqvarna. I tend to think of it as Swedish, but it has been a long time since it has been that.

Made in Italy, formally owned by Cagiva / MV Augusta, now owned by BMW. It is a bike manufacturer with an identity problem...
