Hurrah - just spent 2 days on the bike riding some totally mindblowing roads up near bologne - gentle twisties with some sharp hair pins thrown in and a bunch of really friendly italian bikers

Nearly ditched the chicken strips and think i have some new people to ride out with. My faith in the biking population is renewed. They stop and chat, compare bikes and god damn it they even wave at you as they ride past :w00t: :w00t:
Treated myself to a new black visor as a reward for being bold and just walking up to randoms and chatting in my spectacularly bad italian - and well i just wanted to look mean

When you buggers gonna get over here and ride???
