G’day mates from Italy

Welcome from Connecticut USA. I envy you your roads. With heated gear you can extend your season. I'm still riding, low 40's F. As long as no ice/snow/salt

Thanks matey. For this winter I have just purchased some heated gloves, that along with the heated grips make the rides a pleasure . With our bikes we don’t need any heat for legs or feet lol

Hey there
Niko here , from Brescia province (northern Italy). I’m a Sicilian who has spent 10 years downunder in Sydney , now relocated to the cold and humid po volley. I ride a rocket 3r 2021, which is currently my second bike ever. My first one is a Yamaha Niken , that’s still with me .
My adventure on two (or three) wheels has started in November last year . Feel free to hit me up

Hi, I'll practise my Italian. One word is BearO, correctO?

Welcome from the UK.

I can imagine that there will be some great biking roads in your region.......in the summer.

B just great I should imagine and the weather.

Hello Nikmeister. Welcome to the forum, often called the asylum by the unknowing... Congrats on one fine looking ride. I too have family in central Italy specifically in Cocullo. It is on my bucket list to visit. One of these days...

I just looked it up, it’s close to where that infamous earthquake took place years ago. I hope your family wasn’t affected.
If you make it there make sure you rent a bike and ride Campo imperatore . I’ve spent two days this passed summer, roads and views were stunning

Thanks for the warm welcome

Go big or go home , that’s what they say lol

Truth is I fell in love with the Yamaha Niken, and I bought it second hand. As a first bike is amazing, cheap to buy as it has little market in Italy. I knew I would have bought a “normal” bike eventually. One day at the local mall a guy parked next to me with a rocket , and it was again love at first sight. And here I stand in front of the court judge lol
