The Germans, British and Americans had all been in and out of Italy as invaders and liberators, and they had discarded or abandoned huge amounts of military hardware including tanks, trucks and motorcycles. Some of these motorcycles, such as the Matchless G3/L, were converted from military service to civilian service by Italian riders.

If he's got the ignition timing spot-on, the soles should be ok for a while, slack timing and a timid approach usually results in kick-back from thumpers, I've been known to start SR500's barefoot. Italian leather uppers is a different matter, if he back heels the gearchange then the snaggers on his trousers will hide the rub marks.
