Gilera Milano

I've had the pleasure of riding with Hugo Galina more than a few times. A real class act.

What comes to mind when you hear the words "Italian motorcycle"? Ducati? Moto Guzzi? What about Gilera, Benelli, or Laverda? Italy has a rich motorcycle history and has been producing unique and beautiful bikes for years, but here in the United States many people aren't familiar with Italian brands outside of Ducati and Moto Guzzi-many are not even familiar with the smaller single-cylinder offerings of these two brands.
