Motogiro d'Italia 2006 - Italy - This is what heaven must be like
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.

That's Rich and Giuliano Maoggi who raced a Mondial in the Milano - Taranto race in the 50's. You may remember Giuliano as the racer in the famous picture with the ciggerette in his mouth taking the start of the Motogiro.
