There was a Vertimati owner on TRC, did anyone have a VOR?
On Visordown SM forum there were people that owned both of those. Zanx had a vertimati iirc? Dunno if any of those guys made it here though.
Must have been Zanx and Dazzarilla that owned Vetamati's, and Judge the VOR then. I got them the wrong way around.....

Zundapp? Ossa maybe? Kreidler?
What about Jawa? They weren't that rare but still pretty unusual. Simpson? Tomos? I remember seeing them in Woolworths for £249.99.
Owned 2 of them, both 350s. Also had a CZ250 twin and a 175.
I had an NSU Quickly at one time. 1960.

My brother and I bought quite a few NSU Quickly's back in the 1970's. We broke them all for spares, selling parts through Motor Cyle Weekly free ads.
I would love to buy a Tomos Alpino, having seen one in Croatia in 2018. Never seen one for sale over here though..

I quite fancy a FB Falcon 87. They're pretty cheap, but I have concerns about 'keeping up' with modern traffic.

Never owned a Harley, but as i age, i’m warming to them…. especially the vintage antique ones.
