Motogiro USA
Motogiro USA is an AMA sanctioned vintage motorcycle road enduro loosely patterned after the famous Motogiro d'Italia in Italy. It is comprised of well-marked 60 and 70-mile loops on Saturday and one 100-mile loop on Sunday. Final registration sign in will be the Friday afternoon and evening before the start, but early entry is encouraged. Motogiro USA is open to all registered street legal motorcycles manufactured prior to December 31, 1968. (Like or similar design with approval of the event chairperson) Motogiro USA will consist of five classes: 65cc, 125cc, 200cc, 250cc and now a new 305cc class. A low average speed of 25mph is set for the timed route to allow for occasional stopping, refueling, traffic, resting, repairs, etc. Generally the event is won or lost in the special test sections and check points along the way.
We don't discriminate against any manufacturer and you get the entire event for an entry fee under $150.00 not hundreds of dollars more.
A special test section might be a 20-meter long course of cones which the rider must negotiate in a specified time (i.e. 12.5 seconds, thus, it becomes a precision slow ride test of balance and timing). Entrants are electronically timed to a 1/100th of a second in the special tests and penalized for each fraction of a second they are early, late, knock over a cone, go off course, or touch down a foot, etc.Now we will offer 2 opportunities to enjoy those vintage bikes in your garage. MotoGiro USA 2008 will be held this May 3,4 in Roxbury NY at the Ski Plattekill ski area and this fall in New Hampshire Sept . Stay tuned to this website for dates upcoming details.
This event will have a limited number of entrants and acceptance will be based on date of entry. The USCRA will start accepting entries shortly, visit www.race-uscra.com for current information and entry forms.
This event is a blast. It is two days of riding small displacement vintage bikes on state, town and seasonal roads through some of the most beautiful countryside you've ever laid eyes on. You can enter and get competitive, or just enter and enjoy a great ride. The camaraderie is wonderful. There will be an awards presentation at the end of the event honoring class winners and all finishers. Additionally, various specialty awards will be given in such areas as machine excellence and the not so coveted, "Snatched From The Jaws of Death" hard luck award. We hope to see many of you there.Click here for a little motivational video
Don't have a bike? Volunteers are needed.
You can still come and enjoy the ride. Volunteers are needed to drive chase/pickup vehicles and man the checkpoints. Bring your street ride to help along the way.
