"It all started way back in 1976 with two friends who had one great love

in common: motorcycles and racing. Thanks to the excellent quality and high performance of their motorcycles, that small Pesaro enterprisebecame in just a few years a force to be reckoned with. The pioneers of TM, Claudio Flenghi and Francesco Battistelli (or rather "Mr Engine"and "Mr Frame") are two childhood friends of the same age who have spent a large part of their lives in direct contact with the world ofmotorcycles."

Triumph Motorcycles at Hinckley, with ten-years between the two.[23] http:/ / www. oylercustomcycles. com[24] http:/ / www. pitsterpro. com/[25] http:/ / www. lake-arrowhead-ca. com/ big_bear_choppers. shtml[26] http:/ / www. rydemotorcycles. com[27] http:/ / www. studebakermotorcompany. com/ motorcycles. phtml[28] http:/ / www. covingtonscyclecity. com[29] http:/ / www. gpxengines. com/[30] http:/ / www. hellboundsteel. com/ home. aspx[31] http:/ / www. johnnypag. com/ index. php/

Oncea famous name in the Italian motorcycle industry, the C.M. was founded by the late Mario Cavedagni, a designer-manufacturer-rider. Duringthe thirties, 250-, 350- and 500-c.c. singles with own o.h.c. engines were built; after the war, mostly two-strokes, including a very sporting250-c.c. vertical-twin, left the works. Rider-designer Ing. Drusiani was also with C.M."

1995 in Portland, Oregon, United States manufacturing replacement parts and eventually new Norton models. The venture eventually requiredcapital and was bought by Stuart Garner who intends to return production to the United Kingdom.

[43] Pronounced "Bruff".[44] "Vincent Motors" (http:/ / www. VincentMotors. com). . In 1928, Phil Vincent bought HRD and changed the name to Vincent HRD. In

1949, Vincent HRD was renamed Vincent. Production of Vincent stopped in 1955. In 1994, Bernard Li acquired the rights to the Vincenttrademark, and in 1996 formed Vincent Motors, USA. Vincent Motors, USA, made 5 prototype motorcycles in 2002. The engine used in thesemotorcycles has since gone out of production and Mr. Li has since died. It is therefore not likely that series production will begin.
