Swank Rally (R) : Deus Ex-Machina (R)

A selection of pictures from the international motorbike event where riders can have fun with style.

Deus Swank Rally is an international event, bizarre, eccentric and highly amusing.

The name says it all: elegance, swank, but it's still a rally, so motorbikes and riders inevitably douse themselves in mud and dust.

All the motorbikes are welcomed: studded specials, enduros with carburettors, even the most inappropriate. During the day gentlemanly competitions are held, self-timed, no cheating; in the evening there is a party among friends.

What happens at a Swank Rally? It's all been captured in the beautiful pictures of this book. Text in English and Italian.
