2023 – A New Riding Season: all you need to know

 

2022: Year of the Comeback!

The year 2020 was a difficult one for the tourism industry, and our tours were no exception. International travel was severely restricted, and the industry suffered greatly as a result. Although 2021 was an improvement, particularly from July onward, it was still far from a normal year. Despite the challenges, we were able to weather the storm.

However, 2022 exceeded all expectations! We set new records in terms of the number of customers, days of tours and rentals. The riding season was near-perfect, with many sunny days and very few days of rain. We had a diverse range of customers, including groups, private tours, self-guided tours, and even honeymooners. Additionally, we welcomed guests from all over the world, including every continent: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, and even Africa!

In September, we introduced our Total Tuscan Experience tour for the first time, and it was an overwhelming success. Guests were enamored with our villa in Tuscany, and the chef’s delicious home-cooked dinners (including an amazing pizza made in the pizza oven) and international breakfasts. The villa’s location allowed us to tour Tuscany’s back roads without the stress and traffic of busier routes. It was a memorable tour that will be repeated in 2023 in May and September.

2023: More and better

Check on this link our events calendar for 2023.

For this year we have in program more tours than ever, we will have:

And we have a new entry in our list, for the first time a tour away from Italy: The Andalusia Week Tour that will take place in March and November.

New Bikes

We have also updated our bikes offer with 2 new Ducati Scramblers 800, a new BMW F 750 GS Sport (with low seat for short riders) and another Ducati Multistrada 950. We keep growing our rental service offering the best brands, new models of bikes, always with a low mileage and, thanks to Maurizio the mechanic, always in perfect shape!

How can’t 2023 be the best year ever?

The legend Valentino Rossi is ending his MotoGP career (last year will be 2020) so, if you still haven’t seeing him live, this is one of the last opportunities! Also, the circuit of Misano Adriatico is just a few miles from Valentino’s home, Tavullia, so this is the most important race of the year for him and his fans.

Obviously one of the must of this tour is the visit to Tavullia, the town where Valentino Rossi grew-up and where he has his famous Ranch, the Fan Club and Official Store.

5 Reasons why you should visit Tuscany riding a Motorcycle

tuscany countryside road

Riding a motorcycle in Tuscany

Tuscany is one of the most famous regions in Europe and probably in the World. In 23,000 sq km (8,900 square miles) you will find many famous and interesting places to see. Cities like: Florence, Siena, Pisa, Lucca, San Gimignano… Areas like: Chianti, Maremma, Val d’Orcia, Mugello… Islands like: Elba, Giglio… Culture legacy from: etruscans, romans, renaissance…

But what does of Tuscany a special place you should explore while you ride a Motorcycle?

1 Roads:

Tuscany has a huge net of countryside roads linking hundreds of little and pretty towns. As hills make up nearly two-thirds (66.5%) of the region’s total area, these roads are full of curves which makes the ride much funnier and enjoyable.

2 Landscapes:

Let’s be honest: the sights in Tuscany are truly special. The countryside, the villas and farmhouses, the sky… They all create a special atmosphere that is unique! On a motorcycle trip in Tuscany you will feel the need to stop each 10 minutes to make a photo!

3 Nature:

Tuscany has a nature diversity known all over the world: the Chianti with its forest and vineyards, the “Crete Senesi” mounts and their grey coloration that gives them an appearance often described as lunar, the Val d’Orcia and the sweet hills with their cypresses, the Maremma and a fantastic sea… And anybody who has ever traveled in a motorcycle knows that the link between the rider and the nature around him is very particular.

4 Land of riders:

Italy and Tuscany are a place where traditionally motorcycles, scooters, riders and champions have a lot of tradition. Many of the Italian champions like Rossi or Dovizioso grew-up riding on the Apennines hills between Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna. Vespa was born in Tuscany (and still have its headquarter). Some of the most famous Italian passes are in Tuscany: Passo della Futa, Raticosa, Giogo, Muraglione, Porrettana, Consuma, Chiantigiana, Massetana… In many of these roads take place every year some exciting road races!

5 Distances:

Tuscany is not too big and not too small. I would say perfect for visiting during a week. That’s time enough to go around all the region without having to make 2 times the same road and seeing every day new and interesting places. A must region to visit if you like nature, beauty, culture, history, gastronomy, wine and first of all… motorcycles!!

January 1st in Tuscany: Montesenario Benediction

tuscany-motorcycle-tours-montesenario-benediction

Montesenario benediction

Montesenario benediction is one of the most loved traditions in Italy and italians are also very superstitious. If an Italian rider sees a black cat crossing the street, he will probably stop as soon as possible and wait for a car to pass before himself. This way, the bad luck (that can produce an accident!) that the cat brings to the first one to cross “it’s line” goes to the car and not to the rider.

Following these popular beliefs, it is a tradition for Tuscan riders to get on their motorcycle on January 1st, facing the cold, the snow, the wind and the rain (in an heroic and very dangerous ride), to reach the Montesenario Convent in a mount near Pratolino (around 15 km from Florence). In this yearly event, the Monk of the Convent will pass in front of all the motorcycles throwing holy water to them: this way the motorcycle will be “safe and lucky” for all the year.

On this event we can find all kind of riders and bikes. From elderly men with old classic motorcycles to young fellows with their brand new Japanese bikes full of electronic. The Monk, the destiny, and the road make no differences, we all need to be blessed…
