Hi,

This website still exists but the email fails. Hardly surprising after so many years.

https://motositaliana.wordpress.com/moto-morini-parts/

Does anyone have contact details, know the person who ran it or know where the residual parts went?

Thanks in advance

Steve

Hi Steve.

I don't know anything about Motos Italiana or the man behind it , but flicking through the website there are one or two clues. I think the bike side of things was a serious hobby rather than a business. There is mention of owning a language school in Aracena.

In 2011 Andy, also known as AndyGuzzi and AndyMorini was living in Spain and racing a Moto Guzzi V50. He was planning to move back to Britain. There was mention of a mis-spent youth hooning along the A.52 which could be anywhere between Newcastle-Under-Lyme and Mablethorpe.

He posted in 2021 saying that he was going back to Spain to sell his house and retrieve any remaining motorcycle parts. On that score he didn't sound hopeful as the house had been broken into several times.

If he had raced a Morini in the U.K. I'm sure I would have heard about it. I suppose he could have raced a Moto Guzzi without me particularly noticing, however.

I feel naughty posting this link, but here is a clip of Andy having a clutch lever 'moment' at Guadix Circuit in 2011.
