The Gilera brand from Arcore in Italy is celebrating its 100th birthday, after its long history started back in 1909 when Giuseppe Gilera created the first Gilera bike.
Now the Gilera Club from Arcore and the “Registro Storico Gilera” are organising an event to celebrate one of Italy’s greatest motorcycles.
The event will take place on the weekend of June 6th and 7th at Arcore, just north of Milan, with invitations to participate extended to all Gilera owners.
The event will include registration on the afternoon of the 6th, followed by the opening of the event and an exhibition.
The bikes on display come from the Piaggio museum at Pontedera, and includes photographs, original sketches, historic clothing and documents on the history of motorcycling in Italy.
A dinner is planned for the evening of Saturday June 6.
