Heroic in Mongolia on “Motorcycling”
UAUUuuuu … noi rimaniamo umili neh … però, C####O!, che bello vedere una delle nostre invenzioni a due ruote immortalate in un lungo emozionante reportage su una rivista prestigiosa come “Motorcycling” (mese di Novembre, in edicola da un paio di giorni, correte a vedere)!!
The “Mongolia Motorbike Marathon” di quest’anno, nella sua versione “Tour del Sud” ha pressochè raggiunto la perfezione logistica/organizzativa (ma noi rimaniamo umili, neh!); al limite invertiremo il senso del giro da orario ad antiorario per non rischiare di beccare ancora a fine agosto “due gocce di pioggia” nella Valle dell’Orkon … 🙂
The version “Tour del Nord“, che si è rivelata altrettanto bella pur nella radicale diversità di personalità e di ambienti, con qualche aggiustatina dettata dall’esperienza andrà anche lei a pieno regime; In short, is everything ready for the new year, then appointment in mid-January in Verona at “Motor Bike Expo“for the official launch of the Edition 2018 and the opening of registration – unless, for people who need to get their act together earlier, are always available to the usual contact details!
But back to the present day, Let's enjoy the reportage-texts and photos by Thomas Pines- dedicated to the great classic, the “Tour del Sud”, through the Gobi desert that just naming it makes goose bumps! Nothing short of horrendous opening photo, in the Park of Yolin Am (Mouth of the Vulture): After days and days through an endless landscape, the world seems to shove in an increasingly narrow canyon, culminating in a crevice in the rock in which they barely manage to wedging the jeeps and trucks of assistance. This step, in itself already very spectacular, This year was made memorable by a weather than before with a sudden, violent storm has turned the canyon in bed with a raging torrent, and then between pierced the clouds with a Sun that ignited rainbows in every corner.
Visited the capital Uaan Bator, and meet at last the true stars of the Marathon, our beloved Mustang, Now we start the conquest of the steppes …
The story follows suggestive each leg of the journey, the discovery of ever-changing landscapes that surround, daily adventures, extraordinary encounters with nature and humanity, managing to return at least a reflection of the richness of experience; for the rest, There remains to talk directly with the protagonists!
