  • The 2024 Festival of Italian Motorcycles (FOIM) was held in Scoresby which is south east of Melbourne, Australia. The weather was mild and remained overcast during the event. Around 160 Italian bikes turned up on the day which everyone thought was a good turnout for the first post Covid FOIM. Planning is already underway for next year!

    Great day of Italian motorcycles and wonderful to relive it through your excellent video. Didn’t bring my Monster this year but next year for sure.

    Thanks Mike; I got to see and hear what my old silver Desmo 450 was like. It was also good to have a tantalising glimpse of what appeared to be a Saturno or Bialbero.

    Wishing you a bigger and better event next year. This one looked pretty good to me.
    I learned Gandalf rides Italian (@ 4:29), visually hugged a long lost Morini 3 1/2, and generally appreciated so many nice bikes in one place. Eye candy for sure.
    Believe it or not, I tried to organize a Festival of Italian bikes here in Yukon. Unfortunately neither of us could come that day.

    Excellent Mike. Thank you. I saw a guy in the crowd wearing a t shirt with a very cool caption. M V Agusta. Below this in smaller font - Agostini for Pope. I’m still chuckling!

    Thank you for sharing. It was a nice turnout. I wish there was another coffee van instead of just one. The queue for the coffee was at leat 30 minutes long.

    Love looking at Italia motorcycles, Thanks for the Video, we have our local Italian motorcycle event on the 2nd June 2024 at the Powis Arms, Lydbury North, Shropshire, England SY7 8AU (probably a bit far for you Mike) I can't wait. Something about Italia motorbikes, the way they look and sound is just wonderful and as for the thrill you get riding one, there is nothing better.

      Nup, didn't spot myself. I think a fair bit of this was shot before I arrived , I don't recall the Mandello being there , it may have left.

    Was this event affiliated with the Italian Motorcycle Festival that was held in November?

    • @MikesMachines
      @MikesMachines  Před 3 měsíci +1

      No, that event was organised by Benzina Stables. The Festival of Italian Motorcycles has been organised by various Italian motorcycle clubs over the years. This year's event was run by the Classic Italian Motorcycle Association of Australia.
