Backfire Moto is a Motorcycle Night in Seattle Washington dedicated to Cafe Racers, Vintage Motorbikes, Rat Bikes, Metric Bobbers, Scooters and Mopeds. It is every third Wednesday and yes we try to keep it year round. Check site to make sure!

Please feel free to email us if you want to post anything and we will review and repost it if it's something that would look good on our site. We dig cool motorbikes and all things related such as music, clothes and gear. If you have cool pictures or videos of our night, that would also be super awesome.

Pirates ahoy! by Sideburn Magazine


Spotted this lovely Moto Morini Corsarino Super Scrambler parked up in Rome the other day. The Corsarino (Little Pirate) in its various guises was really popular in Italy during the Sixties and Seventies, but it's rare to see them out and about these days. In its day, it would have stood out in a sea of two strokes, with a 48cc OHV pushrod single. The SS was made from 1972-'75 (and this looks like an early model), though the Corsarino line goes back to 1963. About 3.5bhp, 59kg, 50mph, 150mpg. MP
