This Club automotically includes, as Members, all FIM Europe officials (as listed in the 2015 Yearbook) as well as the Presidents and the Secretaries General of all FMNs affiliated to FIM Europe.
Each year two experiences for the Club Members will be organized, one on the road and one off-road.
It is foreseen the participation of the FIM Europe Club Members only by bike, with an eventual accompanying person as passenger.
The first experience is planned in Tuscany/Italy, from the 16th to the 19th of October 2015.
It is possible to participate with one’s own bike or to fly to the airport of Firenze Peretola, renting a bike on spot.
“Everything is well organized, we have thought to all details and we are just waiting for enjoying with you the road experience, landscapes, wine and food tasting and to share good moments among bikers, among colleagues and friends!” states Alessandro Sambuco, FIM Europe Secretary General.
The accomodation will be in Hotel Borgo Tre Rose, which is a carefully restored and rebuilt medieval hamlet that welcomes visitors wishing to stay in this wonderful corner of Tuscany, between Montepulciano and Cortona.
