the rider was George Rocket. He won some major races on that bike including Watkins Glen. The bike was so fast, that someone protested and they pulled the head and measured. Came in at 174cc

Sal just turned 87-
He has terrible hearing but he always has his cell phone on...he is still driving a truck and side car regularly-just was the grand marshall in the Port Washington Memorial Day parade...
Sincerely,
his granddaughter-Eliesha

Hi there, I am from Brisbane Australia and I own a 1966 Ducati 250 that has an original Ghost Motorcycles Sales Corp sticker on the rear tail light. Its been great reading about this iconic dealer ship and seeing the picture of Sal

Sal and Sonny were icons in the 60's and even later. I spent many nights there-street was packed with bikes in the heydey of british machines. Later on as bikes from Japan became more prominent and started winning races the shop kinda faded away. I spoke with Sal about 5 years ago in the shop, and we talked about mutual friends that raced and were working with me in California. I was glad to see Sal is still strong. God- those were the best days of my life.

I am looking for a dealer that had an ad on Ebay in 2005 selling a Manrhin motorscooter.
The dealer was listed as MOTORCCLEWORLD, PORT WAXHINGTON, NY.
Anyone have info on such a dealer?
Thanks,
Dale in Indy

I'm probably a little younger than you guys, but I bought my first bike from Sal and Sonny in 1990 a Kawasaki ex500. I truly loved that place, my friends and I would ogle all the Ducks and the vintage bikes. I bought my first ducati 900 ss from him as well. Sonny was a great mechanic and could work on anything. Griffin was one of the coolest sales people I ever dealt with. They also had a russian sales guy, but I can't remember his name.
The Russian sales guy's name was Mark but They called him Marco.

Griffin at Ghost Motorcycle changed my life (for the better) when he sold me a brand spanking new CZ 175 Sport for $495.00 back in April of 1971. It was my very first motorcycle and I loved it. I took it back to college in Boulder, Colorado, where I rode it so much in the mountains that I almost flunked out of college, which caused me to get drafted to go to Vietnam. Griffin, if you are still around, please drop me a line. Jimmy

Sweet Bike!!!

Ah, a good motorbike ... We already have fewer such people in Russia. Ordinary people ruthlessly hand them over for recycling. And restorers like me, it's like a knife in the heart (((
