Welcome Daniel... which came first "Rome" or "Romania"?
Italy is a very nice place. My wife and I were lucky enough to get a chance to spend a week there right after 9/11/01. We spent the whole week in Rome and loved it. The Italian people we met were very nice and I was able to get around town fairly easy... I wanted to go back and spend some time in the country side away from the big city, but it looks like that it not going to happen. Enjoy the country for me.
There seemed to be millions and millions of scooters and MC on the streets of Rome. I didn't have one myself at the time, but I would feel right at home riding there.
Feel at ease to add to the discussions here and share your experiences when you feel like it. I look forward to hearing from you.
