Long post here...
My name's...Ciao & Hello. Long post here...<br /><br />My name's Gabriel & I had the pleasure of riding both Motogiros last year (1st time for either event, on a modern bike).<br /><br />I spent most of my time riding with the staff of both events & got to know both events from the "inside," to a degree.<br /><br />The "working" (riding) staff of both events I found to be nothing short of Fabulous & extremely welcoming (my money was no good at the espresso bars @ DE2). However, the organizers of the DE2 event seemed to lack organizational skills by comparison & weren't particularly approachable.<br /><br />Whereas the Terni organizers (Massimo, Laura, Paulo, etc.) were sooo welcoming and TRULY made me feel like family.<br /><br />Every year is different, but I preferred the roads of the Terni event as well.<br /><br />And as Carl said, the DE2 Giro is more tourist-oriented. More emphasis on creature comforts (to a degree), more Americans, etc. But I feel that I got more of an "Italian" experience @ the Terni event, which is exactly what I wanted. Another big plus if you "go Terni," is that it's a 6 day event. The extra day to rest & wrench was most appreciated.<br /><br />But either way, you won't go wrong (unless you don't go!!).<br /><br />HTH :-)<br /><br />Gabriel<br /><br />PS- Bring your GPS!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00760530664400810200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435881380335161709.post-15728648041047901462010-12-10T23:43:19.618-08:002010-12-10T23:43:19.618-08:00Dear Carl,

I have seen the message regarding the...Hello Carl<br /><br />I have seen the message regarding the " 2 Motogiros" of Italy and I undersatand that is a bit confusing. I am owner of Motouring a company organizing tours and motorcycle rental in Italy.<br /><br />We have been involved in the Motogiro run by Dream Engine, 2 years ago, in 2008, with 10 bikes given for the organization and 2 vans with guides, we still have to receive the money from them, 12, 00 euros !! And like us many hotels, guides, small organizations, ecc. <br /><br />On top there is a final release, a couple of months ago, from the Italian Court confirming that the FMI, Italian Motorcycle Federation is the only organization authorized to use the name Motogiro d'Italia and the Moto Club Terni the "ONLY" authorized organization to run it.<br />Dream Engine is not simple entitled to use the name Motogiro and for being doing that during the last 2 years has been charged of a fine of 5000 euro , which, of course , will not pay !!!<br /><br />In case you wish to contact me you can also use home@mototouring.com<br /><br />regards<br /><br />Eligio ArturiEligiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395998595743356032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435881380335161709.post-76459255329621650882010-11-03T12:00:17.513-07:002010-11-03T12:00:17.513-07:00Thank you for your positive and sporstsmanlike beh...Thank you for your positive and sporstsmanlike behaviour,we will wait for you.
