For the seventh time in as many summers we "the Vicki Group" as they call us on the Motogiro, referring to the ever growing group of North Americans who attend year after year, are back in Bologna for the Motogiro d'Italia 2007. This year the event begins and ends in Sicily, where we are slated to asend Mount Etna which is (unfortunatly) currently the worlds "most active volcano". Translation? It's spewing flames and ashes a mile into the Sicilian sky but somehow no one seems too concerned. Why? Because it's Italy, and that's why we love it here. Nothing is a problem, the food and people are fantastic and the riding is the best in the world. The adventure always begins in Bologna where Ducati's are born and the historic NCR shop is located. Day one begins at the workshop of Rino Caracchi, for the reunion with Rino, his family and one of the groups Ducati racebike's, which has arrived on Rino's doorstep in cartons.....
