We’d like to give our particular thanks to Saverio Orgiana who has sent us several manuals for the on-line library: 21 for Garelli, 5 for Malaguti, and 8 for Minarelli.
Dear Andrew,
I hope this message finds you well. My name is Igor Gašparević, a
moped enthusiast from Serbia. I came across your article on the moped endurance race,
which really resonated with me and inspired me to share my own project with
you.
For some time now, I have been organizing 4-hour moped endurance races in Serbia, but last year we took on an extreme challenge—the world's first-ever 24-hour moped endurance race. The inaugural race saw 18 teams participating, and you can watch a video of the event here:
This year, we held the race again on September 28–29, 2024. Interestingly, out of the 24 hours, it rained for 20 hours straight! Despite the challenging conditions, 14 teams finished the race, though four teams had to retire early. You can see some photos of this year's event here: Photo Album.
It’s worth mentioning that most teams ride Tomos Automatik and Peugeot Fox mopeds, keeping the tradition alive with these classic models.
We are already planning next year’s race, which will take place from August 22–24, 2025, and I would like to personally invite you to join us for what promises to be another unforgettable event. If this story sounds interesting, I would be happy to provide more information or collaborate on a feature for your site.
Thank you for your time, and I hope this sparks some curiosity!
Best regards,
Igor Gašparević

Dear Andrew,
Please can put in your newsletter a very big thank you to all that came to
our Vintage Fête at Nedging Hall on 23rd June 2024. It was
a good day out; I think people enjoyed it. We had some good
feedback.
We made £600—it was a good result.
Yours sincerely,
