After so, so many years, I think I’ve penned just about everything that can/could be written about the Italian Motorcycle Owners Club’s Annual IMOC Rally (see www.imoc.website). This time instead, I thought I’d supply a snapshot of pertinent facts and figures, and then let Steve Cote’s fantastic photo’s do most of the talkin’ for a change…because as it’s well known, a picture’s worth a thousand words!
So here’s a little documentation followed by a lot of “Pic’s @ 36” for 2019, thanks to Steve Cote:
