Motomessa San Pellegrino in Alpe 2005



Once again the faithful were gathered on high ... 1500 metres above sea level to be precise at San Pelligrino ìn Alpe for the annual Motomessa - the Motorbike Mass.



Now in its 9th year and getting more popular each year, the Motomessa 2005 drew in hundreds of riders from all over Tuscany and beyond.

Last year it was a Harley Davidson which carried Don Giovanni down the line of waiting bikes blessing them with holy water on the move but this year the iron steed was a Honda Gold Wing. (We wait for the MotoGuzzi to get its chance - maybe next year?)



The crowds of riders took over the tiny mountain village normally used in the winter as a ski resort or in the summer as a place to enjoy peace and quiet, nature and the mountain air.

The mountain air today was rent with the sound of hundreds of motorbikes roaring off back down the mountainside leaving the place once more at peace until next year
