Outside the window is white snow and the thermometer has plummeted to -15 centigrade (5 fahrenheit). The last thing that comes to any sane person’s mind is a motorcycle ride… Unless you plan to go to Snow Quake. This was the second edition with the same formula and 2016’s original: friends, fine motorcycles, spikes, ice race track in the Italian Alps and vin brulè well blended by Deus Cafe crew at the "base camp" set up by 100FA Vintage.
This year over 50 riders took part in three categories. Inappropriate, vintage and racers enjoyed sliding on ice deep in the valley, surrounded by Alpine walls of granite. Three men demonstrated superior chest hairs by finishing on the podium in the Snow Quake Superfinal for the best of the best: Mr. Bussei (1st), Mr Belli (2nd) and Mr. Jansen (3rd) took home the trophies, but every single rider won their personal race with the cold, slippery and unfamiliar ice.
Smiles and fun was the leitmotif of the second edition of Snow Quake, event organized by Sideburn and Deus Milano with sponsorship from Fastersons and Icon 100 and additional support from DI TRAVERSO and DTRA, ensuring a safe and professional race organization.
Long life to Snow Quake. We look forward next January.

Quando fuori dalla finestra c’è la neve ed il termometro segna -15 sotto zero, l’ultima cosa che ti viene in mente è prendere la moto farci un giro. A meno che stai pensando di andare allo SnowQuake. Seconda edizione stessa formula: amici, moto selezionate, chiodi, tracciato di ghiaccio e vin brulè preparato ad arte dal Deus Cafe al "campo base" allestito da 100FA Vintage.
Successo!!! Sorrisi e tanto divertimento è stato il motif dello SnowQuake II organizzato da Sideburn e Deus Milano con sponsorship di Fastersons ed Iconn 1000. Grande supporto da DI TRAVERSO e DTRA UK per un organizzazione professionale e “sicura”.
Quest’ anno 60 riders in 3 categorie: inappropriate, vintage e racers si sono divertiti scivolando sul ghiaccio delle belle Alpi italiane. Tre uomini hanno dimostrato un pelo superiore: Mr. Bussei (1st), Mr Belli (2nd) and Mr. Jansen (3rd), ma tutti I rider hanno vinto la loro sfida personale con il freddo e il ghiaccio infido. Lunga vita allo SnowQuake ci vediamo il prossimo Gennaio.
