Ragusa district club ride

Last night another banquet with countless courses all part of one cost.
This morning I thought it was just the Maltese club. I was wrong, the rally wasn't over. Our police escorts arrived to stop the traffic for us and we were joined by many Italians on beautiful old Italian motorcycles. I dashed off early to get fuel but I didn't really need it as I'd used only 5 litres on Saturday as we went so slowly. Today was no different so I had time to enjoy the beautiful countryside.
I heard a touching story of one rider. A girl who was riding her father's very small 90cc old I think it was Benelli. It was in his memory as he died not long ago. Unfortunately the bike has no first gear from three so everyone helped to get her up the hills, her tenancy and stubborn determination got her all the way around.
We stopped at a historic site for a look at europes biggest collection of Anfora's or Urns. It was at a beautiful location overlooking the sea not far from Scoglitti.
After that a half hour ride to the beach front for the last multi course meal.
The food in Sicily is outstanding in volume and quality.
I'm writing this on the ferry as we leave Sicily for Malta.
One bike had it's chain snap a few minutes from the ferry. Everyone jumped to help so he still got on board.
I'm exhausted and happy at meeting many new friends and seeing some lovely sites in great company with everyone on historic motorcycles.
