Ride 70s Tour
If you've ever dreamed of riding classic motorcycles through the most picturesque regions of Italy, Ride70s is likely the tour you've been looking for.
Founded by Pietro Casadio Pirazzoli and Fabio Affuso, Ride70s boasts an impressive fleet of motorcycles. Among them are iconic models such as the '75 BMW R90S, '71 Ducati Scrambler 350, '73 Laverda 750, '76 850 Guzzi Le Mans, '71 Norton Commando, and '69 Triumph Bonneville T120.
Pietro, a native of Imola, developed a passion for motorcycles at a young age, thanks to his grandfather's outings to the 200-mile of Imola motorcycle race (known as the Italian Daytona). This early exposure instilled in him a deep appreciation for the sights, sounds, and smells of motorcycles. Over time, with passion and research, he grew a substantial collection of classic bikes. Recognizing the challenges that come with owning and maintaining vintage motorcycles, Pietro and Fabio set out to create an experience that would allow enthusiasts to fulfill their dreams of riding these timeless machines too often forgotten in garages or display windows.
Fabio, co-founder, born in Naples in the early 80s, spent his formative years between London and Barcellona. Today as an automotive photographer and journalist, he brings a unique perspective to the venture, crafting the ultimate experience for classic motorcycle enthusiasts.
I've been following Ride70s since the beginning of the journey, and their Retro Classic Tours immediately captured my interest. I've always been drawn to the allure of "old things" and the stories they hold, Pietro and Fabio's vision fascinated me, pushing me to learn more about their mission. What became clear was their genuine passion for all things vintage, and their desire to offer enthusiasts not just a retro riding experience, but a comprehensive journey encompassing locations, culinary delights, and a deep connection to the emotions evoked by the experience.
I took part in the ‘Spring raid’ last April, and I have to admit, every aspect was impeccably planned. Pietro and Fabio went above and beyond to guarantee our adventure was absolutely top-notch. The itinerary for the six-day experience, was carefully outlined, showcasing the splendor of Naples, the Amalfi Coast, Cilento National Park, and Castellabbate, before circling back to Naples. The presence of a support van throughout the trip offered peace of mind in case of any unexpected situations or requirements.
Most notably, the organizers succeeded in fostering a sense of camaraderie among the 16 like-minded riders, laying the groundwork for potential lifelong friendships.
