Amectran.com has several scanned in articles/memos from various sources for use as references.

- Moto Morini - An Italian motorcycle manufacturer originally based in Bologne, founded by Alfonso Morini after WWII. Morini producing a limited range of niche sports motorcycles (most notably the Moto Morini 3½ Sport and Strada models), and enjoying some racing success. The business was sold in 1987 to Cagiva, and the name passed to Ducati's ownership in 1990, with production ceasing in 1991. The brand has been ressurected recently, with two new models released in the last 12 months. There are incorrect links from the articles 1949_Grand_Prix_motorcycle_racing_season and Giacomo_Agostini to an article about a tribe by the name of Morini, this should really point to an article about Moto Morini (and Alfonso Morini's other motorcycle manufacturing companies). Perhaps a disambiguation page is in order? That's the limit of my knowledge, so would someone care to expand, or create a stub?
