Motogiro d'Italia 2008 ROMA!
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.

That's Rich Lambrechts (this is his 4th 'giro) checking out Paul from Perth's immaculately restored "Imola" 1974 green frame Ducati. The story goes Paul bought the bike on eBay for in the neighborhood of $85,000 US, shipped the bike from America to Australia, restored it beautifully, not so easy given the price and availability of parts for these, then spent $9000 US each way to send it to Europe for the Motogiro and the Motoclub of Terni rally. It was a shining thing of beauty
