This is what heaven looks like....
Motogiro d'Italia. 5 days of magic in the Italian countryside, where time runs backward and everywhere you look it could be 1959. 2006 was my 6th wonderful adventure among friends gathered worldwide. Perfect weather, challenging roads, staggering sceanery, it was everything you could hope for, a moto-junkies dream come true. This years route took us from Rimini at the sea to the Marche region, Umbria (Ancona and Ascoli)to the top of the highest mountain in Italy, past snow caps and wildflowers, every mile bathed in sunshine. The photos and captions in this gallery reflect the event as well as an attempt to document the types and variety of motorcycles that participated in an effort to help others considering the event better understand the many choices.

Rich and I celebrate at the finish.
That's Jack Silverman from Colorado. This was Jack's first Motogiro and he's already well into the planning for next years event in Sicily.
Vicki 5 waiting for Rino. It's just as beautiful at the end as the finish, no oil or even much dirt, a tribute to the professor who built it.
Bram takes the finish of his first Motogiro. I might have been as pleased for him as he was for himself!
Bit completes her first event, as well as her first ride on a non-Harley motorcycle. Last I heard she was looking for a Ducati to park next to the Harley back home in Florida.
