The Gilera Milano Taranto Has a Special Meaning

- What comes to mind when you hear the words "Italian motorcycle"? Ducati? Moto Guzzi? What about Gilera, Benelli, or Laverda? Italy has a rich motorcycle history and has been producing unique and beautiful bikes for years, but here in the United States many people aren't familiar with Italian brands outside of Ducati and Moto Guzzi-many are not even familiar with the smaller single-cylinder offerings of these two brands.
Southern California's Hugo Gallina, owner of Vintage Italian Restoration, has been building and restoring Italian bikes out of his garage for years. Specializing in single-cylinder motorcycles, Hugo works on bikes that aren't a common sight in the U.S. For instance, the Gilera his father had back in the '50s and others like Aermacchi, Bianchi, and Maserati. These bikes may be small, but they make up for their size with their styling and nimbleness, and they generate an incredible amount of interest from those around him while out riding.
With a small community dedicated to racing small vintage Italian motorcycles, Hugo, along with his friends and clients, regularly participates in rallies such as the Giro D'California and other timed motorcycle races.

I'm the new owner of that beautiful Ducati in the video. In addition, I own a replica Milano Taranto as well. Both tuned by Hugo. Gracias, amigo.
more bikes please!
I worked as an aprentice mechanic in a Gilera shop in Argentina in the late 70's, my "personal" ride was a Gilera 150cc from the 60's, ( El Huevo) we installed an oil cooler from a Citroen 2CV and I could run flat out at 110 km/h for about 30 seconds... I wish I have it now... Cheers !
So much passion in Petrolicious videos. I'm inspired every time.
Your videos are pure art, the music with the clean shots and the owner talking about his experience is just amazing. I really appreciate the work you do. keep to coming
Love the cinematography and more bike features would be appreciated.
I like his old school gps using google maps lol
Three sweet Italian masterpieces.
That's something special. I really love that kind of motorcycle. I got a Piaggio Vespa 50Special, and now I'm looking for a Gilera Giubileo or a 150 Sport. I really like to restore all parts of those beautiful pieces of art. Thank you very much for all those videos. Grazie mille davvero. Un saluto dall' Italia.
If only the Gilera 300cc (approx) of the 1950's were around today, I would do what I could to own one. As a boy born in 1947 I had the honour to ride Eric Williams Gilera in Elizabeth South Australia during the late 50's. I dealy wanted and loved that motorcycle but Eric didnt want to sell it. I have no idea where it ended up but it was a magnificent motorcycle beautifully kept and maintained. I know that Gilera will stick in my mind forever and I am 74 today.
Here in argentina we have lots of Gileras!
Argentina is heaven for classics (same as Uruguay)
Thank you, is all I can truly say. It's superb, really... the video and the music it flows with such grace. Thank you so much for it.
I have such an obsession with the single cylinder Italian bikes any make any model
great video + great background music... thanks petrolicious...
bikes do sound really good. Something about Italian bikes always sound good
some of the best videos on youtube
Ducati 175 sport 1958 vedere
La moto di serie
Glad to see bikes here, too!
i recognize some of those roads after many years of driving on them at night for canyon blasts. i have seen that bike a few times its a wonderful bike
Thank you for this one. I have a '61 Gilera sitting in the garage that is waiting for a mechanical refresh and I think it just moved up the list.
I am not even a motorcycle guy... at ALL!!!... but, I can't get enough Petrolicious!!! Such an incredible channel! One thing I am always wondering about is... what is the music in the video?!? This jazz is spectacular! Would it be possible to list the music credit in the notes or at least... tell me who this jazz is?
Grazie per la condivisione. È proprio un bel video condito da piacevoli ricordi ed emozioni.
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
It's great to see these italian beauties treated so well abroad! Complimenti :)
Loved this! I have a '68 Ducati 350 that I recently purchased. After seeing this video I am anxious to restore it.
Dang, that old Puch scooter! Three speed hand shift, shrouded cylinder head, I had one just like it.
I race in regularity races too! Although I race in car regularity races this was something I would really like to try. Excellent bikes and great video!
Beautiful spirit! Love those bikes
This is beautiful.
Beautiful all ways beautiful!! Love you guys
Another great video.
Your videos are always above the rest!
Absolutely Brilliant.
Good job Petrolicious, have existed over a hundred brands of bikes in Italy since there are motorcycles!
Another fantastic video from Petrolicious. More
I live in a villiage in Monmouthshire in Wales, I have;- 2 Laverdas and 2 Moto Morinins, 2 small Ducati singles and 2 Hondas from 1965, my most moern bike is my Triumph Sprint from 2002, its basically a Ford Mondeo and I care very little about it! Itallian and old Hondas are where its at!
MOAR BIKES!!
Every time I see a new video from Petrolicious, I know that day is going to be a good day.
Awesome video !
Great guy!
Grandi moto italiane e grandi voi di petrolicios, curate la passione,, complimenti
Fantastic!
Petrolicious has done did it again! Outstanding!
beautiful
Buenisimooo.saludos Rafa de mardel plata Argentina.
Doesn't need to be a 1000cc or lightning fast to have a following and bring enjoyment to the rider or indeed the application of others great story and yes more of them 👍😁🍀
very nice, bravo
Magic!
I need a bike like this now haha
te felicito por tu gilera,aqui en Argentina se fabricaron por muchos años,fueron motos muy populares.El "cuentagiri" de tu moto es de una Gilera macho 200 argentina..
i used to own the ducati 750 ss 1974 difazio hub steered one only. am building a 124 gilera all chrome drag sprinter , cool
Yes more vintage motorcycles!!! Thank you! And what a great episode. That rally/race sounds extremely fun. I ride a modern V7 Guzzi, but it's done to look old. I have to say, 9 out of 10 people, young or old that have come up to me about my bike have no idea what a Moto Guzzi is. I'd say the only major Italian brand that is known in North America is Ducati. The brand that people may know next is Aprilia. Anything else, MV, Laverda, Guzzi, Benelli, Bianchi, etc. most people have never heard of. I never heard of Gilera, but boy that is a sexy bike.
Gilera is (was really) the oldest motorcycle manufacturer here in Italy, sad they went from making really great bikes to just scooters nowadays.
love it
Can anyone PLEASE tell me the name of the song ??
Hermosas Motocicletas
I've driven on those exact rodes. :)
I love a good single!
Wow. 🙌🏻
Bravo
The vibration is really good deep into your skin........
This is...Love. More bikes please ;)
..
Someone know the name of the jazz song on the background?
Alessandro H I don't know,but it sounds like Rick Braun.
+Alessandro H I have a feeling Petrolicious purchases their music special for their videos. I've tried using Shazam on music from other of their videos and it always comes up empty.
Subtítulos en español subirán algún día? Gracias
My father has one of those yellow ducats in the background
We need to know the song guys! Great video btw.
che bella storia.
da che parte di california state ?
my vanity plate on my bike says….GIRO
more bikes!!
Where can I find information about doing a rally?
5:08 Ive never seen a map holder like that, Is that a vintage part or something new ? I would love to have something like that for my bike
You can get them new - a friend has one specifically for these point-to-point trials.
ck m Any idea where your friend got it from? I'm having trouble sourcing one online.
Nice, but is the throttle on the right? that would be weird?
It’s sad to see what Gilera has become now compared to the machines they produced when they were an independent manufacturer. It reminds me of Lancia’s car making glorious past opposed to their current horrendous decay.
What's the soundtrack guys?
The bird
Love your videos.. Please Please Please do one on DUCATI!
Why so short with so many bikes there?
what's the name of the song?
And they called themselves......"PETROLICIOUS".................Tuesday is the new friday! Thank's guy's
moto guzzi,ducati,gilera mis motocicletas
100 point la gilera 150 sport milano yo tube una un cañon.😎😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄🤩🤩🤩😊
what song is this?
Have you tried to use Shazam on it?
Kaitlyn Schmidt Shazam can't identify it.
Bummer...
Argentina el pais mas gilerista del mundo.
El cuentavueltas es un SIAP argentino.
After restoring a 1968 Norton Commando, 1970 BMW R75/5 and a 1968 Honda Black Bomber.....I say "NO MORE"! A motorcycle is like turning a car inside out and trying to make it look good; it's just too much work.
mas Argentino que el asado de tira con chimichurri....
I remember a bunch of these non running Italian cycles thrown in the dumpster at my local cycle shop. They were seen as cheap junk; kind of like the China moped/scooter proliferation of today. I mean who is going to restore a China moped? China mopeds get thrown in the dumpster when worn out.
Tutto Gas.
hipster..... :D just kidd xP
.....Italiens do it better !
How can we gear what he's saying with that damned tuba blasting over the top of everything.
Have you guys considered having your videos translated into other languages? Perhaps, Japanese. ;)
Why in the world would they do that
There's a rich vintage automotive culture in Japan that really goes against the grain. In a country where everyone's car is less than 5 years old (new) and rust is rarely an issue. The used car market is dwarfed by that I experienced in the US (and other western countries, I'm sure). So, the people that are into this kind of thing are hard core. Don't get me wrong; there are the 'all-show, no-go' folks, too. I'm part of an automotive community where people post pictures/updates about oil changes and OEM+ cup holder installations. lol
You some kinda weaboo, boy?
I've never liked bikes :/
more bikes please!
