Interesting page about Anzani pace bikes. I always thought they were just for speed tests / record breaking, but it seems they used to have races with a trackful of bicycle / pace bike pairs!! :o Some horrendous sounding accidents! :shock:

The thing I've noticed about Anzani is they seem to hate the concept of an exhaust!
