HEROIC: selection of rare humanity

I have my social media wall invaded by promotions of events of “adventouring” who seem to be caught up in the recruitment claims for Marines: “enter the myth“, “off-road male“, “only for real warriors“, and so on – considering that these are pleasant weekends with hospitality in 4 stars, aimed at distinguished gentlemen riding motorcycles 2 quintals and 20.000 and pass euri to the price list, all accessories excluded.

And then I hold my own even more dear “Heroic“, people “phenomena-free”, that with the piper who wants to get out of his own “comfort-zone”, you really want to dive! taking the opportunity in our meetings to voluptuously enjoy all the pleasures of life on two wheels: nature, the joy, friendship, tranquility …

The thought leads me to a splendid synthetic definition written by Brocci, the “father of the Eroica”: “selection of rare humanity” – 3 Words, bastano e avanzano per ritagliare nel caos della vita moderna un giardino di delizie aperto a tutti quelli che ne condividono gli ideali e lo stile.

And, per piacevolissima coazione mentale, cominciano a sfilarmi mentalmente in rassegna i sorrisi di tutte le favolose persone che ho avuto il privilegio di conoscere in questi 10 eroici anni, , a partire da quella chequando ancoraL’Eroica in Motoera un progetto appena uscito dal cassetto, mi scrisse: “IO CI SONO”!

Ed è stato di parola, anno dopo anno, al punto che ogni volta che, appena aperte le iscrizioni di una nuova edizione, mi arriva la sua scheda, gli ripeto che sono in dubbio se fargli avere un foglio di via da Gaiole o la cittadinanza onoraria 🙂

Un ABBRACCIO a tutte e a tutti voi, GRAZIE di esistere!

Tell us about your Heroic!

After the tremendous interest you have shown at the presentation of the project “Eroica On Life“, we gassed even more and --waiting to meet virtually on the path of “Dust&Gloria“- we launch this contest that you are all warmly invited to participate in: it's as nice and as easy as drinking a glass of good Chianti; follow the directions of the video,

and then send your (preferably via WeTransfer) at the usual e-mail address: <info@eroiciinmoto.it>; , you can win a cool and exclusive limited edition T-shirt, from true #SUPERHEROES!

See you soon, On (and OFF!) the road!!

Ready to (Re)Leave?!

"In hard times we must have hard dreams, real dreams,
those who, if we're going to get busy, will come true"

Heroic Car in Moto,

who could have imagined that this "Dust&Gloria " 2020 was destined to become an extra-ordinary edition, from true #SUPERHEROES?!

And here we are, to go through the most terrible storm of our time; and right in the most furious heart of the hurricane are gone not only the fundamental values of existence, health and work, but also the dimensions of travel and conviviality - those in which we live the most happy hours of our free time.

Stop, Only, for weeks, we've been able to define even more clearly what's important to us. We don't do."motorcycle rides"; we are a great nomadic tribe that comes to the most pleasant places in the world, to respectfully celebrate the pleasures of life, from the wonders of Nature to the allure of solitary contemplation to the joy of sharing with beautiful old and new friends; to the face of virtual networks, we constitute a traveling plot of feelings that embraces all the protagonists, from the communities that host us and with which we end up making precious twinnings to all partners and suppliers who contribute to making our meetings even richer.

This affectionate net has certainly not loosened with the "lockdown", and indeed it was precious in crossing the storm together, and he's already working to rebuild the good weather: among other things, we motorcyclists start with an advantage, because "social space" is in our DNA - except when it is to be squeezed around a sumptuously packed table-, and why we didn't need a virus to find out how vulnerable life is, and how important it is to enjoy it while always balancing safety and fun!

Of course we had to erase -- even with tears in our eyes- some meetings scheduled, sending them directly back to the 2021: starting with "the Good, the ugly, the Biker", and soon we'll have to resign ourselves to making the same decision for all trips abroad, Come on Balkans To Mongolia.

But at the same time we have fixed our "Piave line" between two events:
– the "Romagna Trophy", sent off by crossing his fingers to the 19/21 June; we wanted to celebrate the spring solstice, we'll celebrate the summer!
– and of course the most classic of our appointments, "Dust&Gloria", postponed in September 4 at 6.

"Dust&Gloria” 2020 it will be an act of courage and hope, a bit like the Giro d'Italia of '46, gone to the wind through the rubble of a country torn apart by a tremendous war: at the moment no one can even remotely imagine what the rules and conditions will be in September for the events, and therefore the content and operating methods of our event: those who decide not to give up, however, will have to do so animated by an indomitable spirit, with flexibility compared to some inevitable renunciations and great willingness to contribute to the best functioning of the entire organizational apparatus.
In short, a "Dust&Gloria" not from heroes, but as real #SUPERHEROES!!

As an organization, we can guarantee that we're certainly not there to "comb the bikes": waiting to see us in person, we invented the "Heroic on Life", to which I go back to inviting everyone, and we do not stop for a moment to imagine scenarios in which to realize our beloved appointment by reconciling to the maximum the desire to be together with the necessary measures of health protection.

To whom, for a variety of reasons, will not be able to participate in the new dates, we have made available the widest choice of options, Shown Here; I hope they are reasonably satisfied, and that we'll soon have another good chance to meet with him on (and OFF!) the road!

To all a warm LAMPeggio greeting, Andrea

A inizio maggio, passate le feste e i ponti, entreremo nel vivo dei preparativi: vi comunicherò per tempo le date sia della nostra proverbialediretta su Facebook“, dove potrete bombardarmi dal vivo con tutte le domande e i dubbi che sono riuscito a schivare sinora, sia della serata in Romagna, aperta ovviamente a tutti gli Eroici in zona o di passaggio!

UAUuuuu … that 2017 for powder&Gloria!

What a wonderful Edition that has given us this 2017!!

Eroica is now entered in the Olympus of the finest motorcycle routes in the world, While the welcome, hospitality and cuisine of Gaiole is a safety – so the only variable remains tied to the weather … and this year he was SUPER! Disproving the strong tradition “numbered years dust, odd years mud”, acted egregiously: Nice right from the start week forecast, gave a sprinkling of rain down just enough to water the soil and keep the dust during the Friday night, without still spoil the party at the bivouac, While Saturday gave us a perfect day, Hot on right, with a beautiful blue sky enlivened by some plump and white cloud, perfect background of wonderful photos!

And speaking of Photo, You can race on the site of Fotopower, the event's official agency, to see them and buy them, both in digital and print versions – high quality professional images, only those samples of rally!

Always on-topic to get good quality gifts, as a result of the many requests received, I reopened the book sweatshirts – This year they have enjoyed success than usual: those interested, contact me by email at 2017@polvereegloria. it, specifying the number of animals required and sizes (always well whereas they fit pretty tight, so when in doubt state “baggy”): the rate is 50 Euro each, plus a contribution of 5 Euro ships.

Last but by no means least, a huge thanks to all of you: are your enthusiasm, joy, want to have fun together and perfect spirit from gentlemen, the magic ingredients that make “Dust&Gloria” a beautiful and joyous encounter – keep so, daily, all kilometers, whole life – I wish you a lot of beautiful STREET, and I wish myself to soon have more good incrociarvi opportunities!

See you soon, LAMPSssss Andrea

Founding Meoni and Heroic in motion; This year we have done our part!

Dear friends,

at this point of the year--in time to pull budgets-, I compare again with pride in what we have built together, and at the same time with the embarrassment of finding the right words to tell about it …

From 2014 We are honored to contribute to the work of the “Fabrizio Meoni Foundation ONLUS“, continuing the work begun by champion in life: with the same energy with which he ran in the desert and won hands down rally and titles, He built schools and hospitals to help the poor populations that were the backdrop to the village fair of African races. If you don't know this extraordinary chapter of motorcycling, well I recommend really investigate reading here

Ok, I already have the lump in my throat; vi paste below some photos of the renovation made

with the funds we have collected with a portion of the shares in “Dust&Gloria“- for those who had pleased to know more details, Here is a full report of discussions. In short, that weekend we just had a beautiful ride, but in our own small way we can say as Fabrizio: “Africa has given me so much, It is only fair that I return something to Africa, to help the most vulnerable“.

And next year we will do even better, sample! Keep also frees the whole morning of Sunday 15 may, the appointment of the 2017 Castiglion Fiorentino will be really unforgettable!
