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.

When unfortunatly it was Chris Jenson's turn to tumble. There was a patch of clay that washed off the mountainside that took out more than a few guys. In Chris's case it ripped literally everything that was attached to the right side of the bike off. Roadside repairs were needed a few times but the bike finished the day
