Good morning from... Italy

[adrinow]

Good morning everyone,
I just joined the MOA. I really liked the spirit and seriousness of your club so I decided to join. I think I will learn a lot here about our beloved BMWs. For the moment it will be difficult to meet live... since I write and live in Italy, Lake Como. My faithful two-wheeler is a 2012 G650GS. A bike that I bought last autumn and with which I have covered around 3000 beautiful miles to date. Keep in mind that I got my motorcycle license in May 2022 at the age of 51. Until then I had never driven or owned one! So this 650 is perfect for me as i like the line, it's reliable and gives me security, as i am a beginner!. Greetings. Adriano

Welcome to the forum!

“Our” news has been reporting that it’s been hot in Italy like the states. Hope you are still enjoying your ride.

Enjoy the forum.

Good Afternoon, Adriano, from the Tennessee River valley.

Okay, I now understand that you’re enjoying a New-2-You G650GS [couldn’t quite make it out on The Feed]! Happy travels in your corner of this overheated planet. We were recently in your city in May, having found a room for the night at the deluxe Hotel Griso... We certainly enjoyed a delicious pizza dinner and a bottle Etna Rosso wine at the Covo Nord Ovest Risto Pub nearby.

Now that’s a deluxe Prosciutto pizza!


Look us up the next time you’re passing near north Alabama!!! We’ll Ride-2-Eat as best we’re able...

We’re not too far from Leeds, AL; home to the world-class Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum.

Your marvelous home region

Welcome, it is great to see a new member that lives outside the USA.

I spent about a week riding all around your beautiful home region, while staying in Persone, near Lago Garda. The riding in the back country roads is fantastic!

If it were not for my 7 grandchildren, I could definitely see my wife and I living out our days there.

Hope to meet you someday.

Ian

Welcome!

Greetings Adriano!
I have many great riding memories from your corner of the world. I was lucky to spend a couple years in Verona and still miss it!

Welcome Adriano! I also started riding about the same age as you. Hope you will share some pictures of the bike and your region of Italy.
