Motogiro d'Italia 2008 - Rome to Vieste and back. This year we started in Rome, one glance at the schedule could tell you the new team organizing the event this year was taking the compitition seriously - raising it to another level if you will. Nine hour days of mountain riding would have done just that but for the first time in eight years, we had days of bad weather. The result was the toughest Motogiro d'Italia yet. Thanks to Christian Clarke and Lorainne Bockmier for their fine photos.

And it really did work. As far as I know it finished the whole event
The first day is always well attended. Film crews worked the crowd
Meanwhile the rest of the usual suspects gathered. That's Bram from Belgium, crazy son of crazy Erwin. At this event crazy is good.
With little bikes the devil is in the details, most everything makes you smile. That's Florence of the Magic Roundabout.
Moto Morini's and Rumis and Parilla's, all bikes of rare and special heritage will spend the next five days being beaten like rented mules. These bikes were built to be ridden.
The cast of characters is as interesting as usual. Family combos include Dad and daughter, twin brothers and just about every other combination possible.
That's Rich Lambrechts and his Mother Marge
Regulars are rolling in. That's Chris from New Jersey. This is his forth Motogiro
That's Team Moto Frocioni's John Gumina. Normally a serious guy, the Motogiro seems to bring out his alter ego
