Hi from Italy

[Charlie Mix]

Hi, I'm from Italy; I'm new here.
I start to ride MX bikes in early '80 but I've stopped for several years.
I'm back from 2001 and now I have a 2001 YZ250 that I ride on MX tracks near here.
I'm a Eric Gorr fan; I 've discovered his website in 2003 and I was wondering from his well-written technical articles.

See ya!

Hello - where are you from in fair Italia? I've been to Cortina, Cortona, Courmayeur, Roma, Firenze, Venezia, Siena Montepulciano and other locales in Toscana. . .

In fact, my daughter is named Siena.

Wonderful, beautiful country. My wife and I hope to go back for our 10th anniversary.

I live in a little town about 70 km south of Milan (north Italy).

Robwbright how places you'll think to visit if you come back in Italy ?

Kmccune, Levico Terme is about 2 hours of travel by car from here.

Ciao to all.

My friend Mauro is from Milano, but now he lives in Detroit. I've never been to Milano, I wanted to go but my wife wanted to see Verona (Romeo and Juliet...guess who won) :)

Coming in Italy from so far as U.S.A. you should not miss to visit Rome.
Rome I think is the most beautiful place to visit and needs to take a minimum of 2 weeks to visit only main touristic places.

Verona haven't a lot of places to visit.
In any case if you think to go there try to collimate to FESTIVALBAR that is a road event, one of the most important event in Italy. (see http://festivalbar.leonardo.it/citta/)
During summer season, from Verona you can also move to Garda lake that is an important touristic destination and have a lot of amusement places.

Milan is like a steel city, is very cold.
I don't like it.

For any information about Italy, italian places & people feel free to contact me.
(my e-mail adress is in my user profile)

P.S. = Is funny how american people are fascinated to visit Europe and european people are fascinated to visit U.S.A.

We were there their last summer, I will most likely go again with in a year or so for work. We only had the wee ends to sightsee, so Rome was too far to drive for that trip.

Yup, everyone wants to see different things.

I was in Bologna for 10 days for work and took my wife with me. We both had a great time. We only had one weekend free and visited Venice for one day and drove in the mountians south of Balogna on the other. That was quite a thrill. I was amazed at how many bicycles we saw on the mountian roads. If I make it back I will have to look you up. There was someone else on DRN that lives in northorn Italy too but I don't recall his screen name.

SURE!!! If you come back in Italy please contact me. :nod:

I have not understood if there are other italian users on DRN, because I had not found a users list or a way to perform a search of users by place/location.
:whoa:
