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.

When it wasn't covered in mud. What a difference a day makes
24 Hours later after a day on the mountain in the rain, hail and freezing sleet. Last I saw him he was looking for some soap and a hose
Lots of interesting machines, this event attracts interesting people and the machines they create - this unique Ducati Monster came from Germany
The Touring class bikes are largely rentals provided by Ducati
This 3 1/2 Morini is a great choice for this sort of event. Finding one is another matter
Registration is always a great place to run into friends waiting in line to complete paperwork. That's "English Pete", another of this events regulars
Next is tech, where both the bikes and the timing equipment need a seal of approval
Passing inspection generally brings this response
Clinica Mobile (of MotoGP and WSBK fame) provides medical support. They follow along on these.
