I motociclisti, during dinner in the dark Saturday night, served by blind people, will live an experience of tastes, smells and
perception of objects, far from all that have hitherto known.

A small group went on a ride and a column of 35 off-road bike has enjoyed the beautiful curves up to Castellina in Chianti.
The group was led by Frank Armstrong, vice president of Stradanova ads, aka Potter, an avid motorcyclist, ultimately misguided

The feeling of motorcyclists was to have a passenger confident, capable and able to understand whether a curve was more or less dangerous or insane

The perception of the blind was pure fun, colors, smells of spring flowers, the songs of blackbirds and asphalt from the perfect grip.
After a few corners, some blind people, regardless of saddles on the size of a postage stamp, asked to give more gas, bend more!

The young man was walking, riding his KTM 990 road, towards the Chiantigiana Firenzequando, all'altezza del ristorante 'San Martino' - nell'omonima frazione di Bagno a Ripoli - si è scontrato frontalmente con un'auto.

Tutto è accaduto intorno all'una della scorsa notte.Francesco Bracci stava viaggiando verso Firenze. Secondo la prima ricostruzione, effettuata dai carabinieri di Grassina, alla base di tutto dovrebbe esserciun sorpasso.
Un'imprudenza che ha portato la 500 a trovarsi sulla corsia opposta proprio nel momento in cui stava sopraggiungendo la moto. La vittima, sulla base diquanto appurato dai carabineri, stava viaggiando regolarmente sul proprio lato di marcia. Dai primi rilievi, dunque, soltantola the motorcyclist would have been bad luck of not being able to avoid the car, suddenly appeared on its trajectory. There was no time to make a profit qualsiasimanovra to avoid confrontation. For Francesco Bracci there was nothing to do. Links to the rescue of 118 arrived promptly at the crash site, but the staff could not do anything to save the life of the boy.
The body was taken to the night, in forensic medicine at Careggi. Carabinieri and men of the rescue had to assist the young Austrian, in a state of shock.
