Welcome to the Bella Italia Scooter Rally 2012
Sep 3 - Sep 14, 2012
A Rally by Scooter Enthusiasts for Scooter Enthusiasts!
We will begin the Rally in Pontedera, Italy, the home of Piaggio and Vespa, to include a guided tour of the Piaggio Museum. From Pontedera, we will take a leisurely tour of Tuscany, staying in the cities of Massa Marittima, Casliglioni del Lago, Firenze and Lucca. The rides between cities will be on secondary roads, and will include sightseeing. You will have a day in each city to relax or tour as you see fit.
The Rally Package includes 11 nights hotel accommodations, breakfast, a group welcome dinner, a group farewell dinner, van transport for one suitcase per person, scooter rental and more. You may ride one or two up on your rental scooter, and in the case of two up, the passenger will not pay for a scooter rental. Also, riders who wish to bring their own scooter are welcome to do so, and they, also, will not pay a rental fee. The scooter rental agency has Vespa 125cc scooters available.
We maintain a discussion forum for participants and serious enquirers, so that you can plan your trip, make friends beforehand and discuss activities you may wish to initiate. All the arrangements are handled for us by a professional travel agent. Click on the ABOUT button above for more on this.
Rally price will be per person, based on double occupancy. Single rooms available at a surcharge. Participants may bring their own scooters and save the rental costs, and passengers riding pillion on a scooter will not be charged the rental cost. Optional hotel accommodations for early arrival and/or late departure as well as other tour options will be available, and can be seen on the ITINERARY page.

For reasons of safety, as well as ensuring reasonably manageable group cross country rides, the Rally is limited to 15 scooters. Of course, any rider is free to carry a passenger if he or she so chooses. Once we reach the maximum number of scooters, bookings will be closed, unless a rider wishes to add a passenger of their choice on their scooter.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a tour for reasonably experienced scooter/motorcycle riders. To operate a scooter on this tour, you must possess a current license to operate a 125cc or larger powered two wheel vehicle. Non-EU residents must also possess a current International Driving Permit with the appropriate "motorcycle endorsement". The routes covered and the group riding involved simply do not offer a suitable environment for inexperienced riders. Passenger experience levels are at the discretion of the person operating the scooter, of course.
