I googled it. The Mosquito engine was built by the Garelli motorcyle company in Italy, late forties into fifties. Used on various European bicycles for economy. looks like at least one found it's way to the states.

Wife and I had a great time today in Turlock. I was telling the fellas, though we didn't purchase much, we still had a lot of fun seeing friends and meeting a few fellow CABERs. Thanks to Tim and his wife for their hospitality when we all got together, snacks and music with Tim and the fellas.

If you decide to sell that Ceres plate, let me know. Ceres is literally spitting distance from my house. Bummed I missed it.

Sorry buddy! I already traded it for another plate. If I come across another someday you’ll be the guy I pm!

I didn't get a number, but heard the seller was asking top dollar. There was some funkiness to it.

Ya definitely some odd stuff going on. Just seeing what the market is like on something like that.

About six years ago the market was red hot for these. Now, unless it is a nice, original paint bike they can be a tough sell.
