This Quiz will have us taking a closer look at Steel Tankers.  Of course the standard rules apply...that is Rob W can't answer the quiz for the first 24 hours[)].  Actually we will be doing some studies on steel tankers in the future (the future is now) that will give everyone a chance to contribute.  So stay tunes and we will have some fun, but remember old racers (me) move slow so be nice and patient.

I believe that this is an Italian of some note. If it is who I think it is, he is the son of a baker and began riding Penton motorcycles when he was still in the Italian military.

Dane

I'm guessing that this bike has a blue and chrome tank and is called a Jackpiner???

If Dane thinks he's Italian, perhaps Mario Rinaldi?

Jeff DeBell

All good guess' but not on mark yet.

Jeff, didn't Mario Rinaldi race bigger bikes, 350s - 400s?

Peter,
Think much earlier than Mario Rinaldi. This rider had a link to Mario though.
Dane

Peter listen to the Big Guy(Dane).  Actually he is kinda a smaller type guy with Big Credentials......[)].

O.Sherriff...A kinds big guy with small credentials.

Well, if no one else is going to take Dane up on his clues, I believe this is none other than Arnaldo Farioli.

Kent

[peter kane]

Dane & Ron, Kent nailed it (like I'm telling you something you didn't know:D)- Arnaldo Farioli - but I don't think I would have gotten this one for another day or two of Googling and poking.  Great photos.  Great Quiz.  Great fun with the banter!

Good job Kent!  (Does he win a shiny new Steel Tanker?)

The gals and guys of POG are the BEST!

GO PENTON!

Check out the number on the number plate, is that John's or Leroy's bike from way back?  I believe I have a large photo of John riding that bike in "68" ISDT[?]  Then again, I may be crazy[]

[Jeff D]

Ahhh, Farioli!  Of course!  As Mr. Know-It-All used to say "You should have known."  Isn't KTM Farioli still a strong presence in the World Enduro Championship and ISDE?

Sherriff is being silent since we have some good dialog going on ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ[}:)].
