Hi guys,
Just a bit of info on Guzzi, they did make an 8 cylinder 500 machine in 1957 but it did not win the title that year. That year it was won by Libero Liberati on a Gilera. The 350 title that year was won by a Guzzi with Keith Campbell Australia's first world champion on board. Now here's a connection for you, his nephew is racing in the Aussy classic series on a 350 cb77 and a 500 cb77 and he is rapid, same name, google him and see.

Hi LM,
My evil twin Honda Brian who lives in Australia should see this, he knows more than me about the guy and will send a link.

Any relation to Col Campbell?
I went to his shop near Sydney a year or two ago. He had one of Jerry's race bikes.
