At least we can still ride!

Enjoy each mile no matter where the road is....

In 2011 got to spend 2 weeks in Italy, riding a brand new GS Adventure. Incredible experience

I'm planning on doing one of those Moto Guzzi Experience trips in 2019, not sure which one yet.....they all look great and VERY reasonably priced.  So exciting!

Just got back from an outstanding ride in the part of Northern Italy called the Dolomites.  I have ridden the Western Alps before but this is my favorite!  I was on a Tiger and would have preferred to have had my soon to be new V85TT.  We went to the factory, but I would have liked to ridden a new bike right from there then ship it home after the trip.  Put this trip on your bucket list.

Cannot buy and pickup from the factory.  Closest would be to buy and pu at Agostini's in Mandello.  Stay in Lecco.  Put the mileage on for you 1st dealer service then ride off into the sunset. 

[Trialsman]

The factory just stonewalled me when I pumped them for info on the V85.  Chatted with the guys at Augostini's and they did give me a few tid bits.  They already had been looking at one eluding to an entire exhaust.

 Just wondering, do the Italian police or Europeans in general use cameras or other devices to strictly enforce speed limits?

Just wondering, do the Italian police or Europeans in general use cameras or other devices to strictly enforce speed limits?

Much more so than in the US, but if you're riding in the mountains you'll see them mainly at the entrance to villages and had better be slowed down by then.  Otherwise you will get a ticket, no exceptions above a certain speed and it's generally not much above the limit. Outside of the villages on twisty roads, there is relatively little enforcement so riding across a pass in the Alps you mostly don't think about speed limits. 

In Itallan suburban areas speed cameras are common but typically well known by the locals.  They have to be because suburban Italian speed limits are extremely low, set many years ago, and pretty much ignored.  The term used for a speed camera in Italy is Autovelox, and its useful to know because sometimes they have signs for you to see and remember for next time - the Italian way 

[Trialsman]

In the Dolomites you see the cameras on about a 6" diameter, 5' high, fluorescent orange pole at the beginning and end of the towns.  They only give you around 1 Km/hr leeway so observe and obey.  Once you are beyond the towns it is unlikely you will ever even see a cop or any cameras.  Another place is if you travel a highway, be careful that the cameras are behind the overhead road exit signs.

DO NOT  speed in Switzerland! $$$$$

Most countries here have speed cameras and red light cameras. In Germany, no front license plate is required and most rural cameras only take frontal pictures.

Newer cameras can take pictures of both sides of the vehicle as you pass.

Been to Italy several times, but never rode there...   ...and there are no bad meals in Italy, either!

Riding most places in Europe is fabulous, in general, when the weather cooperates.
