Ventitre Viaggi

The two renegade roustabouts from California, long-haired motorcyclists simply in search of adventure, were not initially well liked as they traversed the other states of the West during the summer of 1971.

All those efforts brought to them resilience, speed, grit, and the ability to pivot quickly when needed.

Dominic M. Martin was lucky to grow up at the beach in the halcyon days of the fifties and sixties when life was easier and more affordable, and when; towards summer’s end, the ocean was warm. Though we did not know it at the time, those days were glorious, tranquil, and unruffled, a gift from God. We did not know how grand those days were until they were gone.
