Its one of those events that I think I'll have to enter at sometime, all the reports on it make it sound fantastic.
There are four classes run at the same time, but its the vintage class that appeals to me.
What better than riding a small, up to 175cc and pre 58, bike round some great Italian roads with like minded nutters. Click on the title to their web site
That's weirtd, just did up a comment about this and it wouldn't publish and then I got a note saying the blog doesn't exist. How daft is that!?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, what I was gonna say was that it sounds like a hoot! There's an Aussie here that does that as well; invites some people to ride around for a week in west Texas the start of October on British singles. Will have to see about getting an invite after getting Vicky or Amelia sorted!
Sorry Bodger my fault, was adding a couple of bits to the post about the same time you were having the problem.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a good event Bodger, theres another reason to get one of them finished :-)
That would explain it Kawa...I was beginning to think sommit was outta wack.
ReplyDeleteThe British Singles Run does sound good. In th epast they'd ride out to Del Rio, on th eborder with Mexico, and spend the night after maaking a trip across the border to eat and an few beers. Then they'd go to other places od interst such as Langtry where Judge Roy Bean (The Hanging Judge) had his court.
At the end, there's a small awards do for survivors.
Will have to pull my finger out on this one. Only thing is that it coincides with the Haggis Run. Me thinks the Haggis will take priority.
Bodger, is it this year or next you're doing the Haggis???
ReplyDeleteIf everything works out, next year. Will just come up to Alba with maybe a small trip down south to the Midlands for a day or two.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought it'd be fun to participate in that,or one of the "clone" events here in the states. That and get a bike to Bonneville and make a few speed runs. A lot of work and expense involved in both endeavors, but what an experience would be had. I'm more likely to make it to Bonneville before I make it to Italy. Hairy Larry
ReplyDeleteBonneville, now your talking, thats another of the many places I'll have to visit, I can see another visit to the USA in the next couple of years with a list of places to go...
ReplyDeleteDont know if my comment went on so here it is again, if it has please excuse.
ReplyDeleteGreat video and Great site Kawa!
I would love to do the Giro but it wont be this year as I am taking the Benelli 175 to Pesaro in Sept for the 100 yrs of Benelli celebrations.
Slick
Thanks Vic, so your heading over to your second home in Sept, you'll need to send me some details of the event.
ReplyDeleteHow about some pics of your bikes and some details??
