Testi Champion - del cane testicoli

Spotted at an autojumble: I'd have snapped it up to restore if my spannering skills stretched beyond tightening a chain.

These were the mutt's nuts in the late seventies: OK, just 50cc, but otherwise it outspec'd everything: name another production bike that had cantilever rear suspension, mag wheels, 6 gears...at 16 I could hardly believe such a thing existed. Maybe the headlamp shining through the windshield's a bit dodgy, but then who'd ride it after dark? Nobody could see you, and surely that was the whole point of such a magnificent folly
