<b>Are you ready for the Rad2MaxiEnduro, the second Italian dual sport motorcycle meeting?</b> <br />
<br />
From the 26th to the 28th of June 2009, in Tuscany will take form the second annual Italian rally dedicated entirely to large single and twin cylinder Enduro/Adventure Bikes.<br />
<br />
Here you will be able learn to enjoy the 80% of the roads in the world that you have yet to ride because they are dirt and not paved.<br />
<br />
On and off-road courses, on and off-road tours with a guide or just a road book, workshops, stands, a party, and finally the occasion to quit talking about bikes in forums and just go riding!<br />
<br />
A playground for you and your motorcycle, a way for a motorcyclist to have fun in 360 degrees, make new friends and spend three days in beautiful Tuscany. The motorcycle magazines aren't talking about anything else, the numbers sold confirm, the most important factories have invested in new models; it's certain, the dual-sport motorcycles that are loved by motorcyclists like you, can only be an Adventure bike!<br />
<br />
The years have passed where traveling to mysterious continents seemed like an impossible undertaking. The years where rare characters dared to venture into African and Asian travels are turning into stories, like myths. Today, the technology of the factories has created a motorcycle for the rider that desires to live on and off-road, without concerns for reliability, comfort or performance.<br />
<br />
Today, Adventure bikes offer a way to enjoy 360 degree riding; a weekend near home or even a trip to another part of the world. The dual-sports have obtained the right performance for demanding motorcyclists. They are the essence of the versatile spirit, they don’t need to be extreme, weather it be on asphalt or dirt, but they guarantee security, comfort and lots of miles for those who truly love traveling.<br />
<br />
The Rad2MaxiEnduro begins at 6:00pm Friday, June 5th, 2009 with greeting and registration and ends Sunday the 7thth of June at 6:00pm.<br />
