Suzuki DR600 Dakar

Still sorting out my old pics and found this one with my Suzuki DR 600 Dakar.

I loved this bike, the only problem was the height (I am 170cm) and the kick start (so hard).

I had also a couple of crashes with her. One in Milan, I did slide down while turning on a patch of oil left by some car.

The other one was weird. I was riding off-road on the sandy beaches of Ticino river when I lost control of the bike and fell down. The bike sank in the soft sand deep at least 30 cm and if it wasn't for a couple of fisherman that help me out, I would have been stuck there for hours! I think they still laughing at me.

Che figura di merda...
 

My Vespa PX150, long long time ago

I am still organizing my photos and look at this.

This was my Vespa PX 150. The one sitting on top is me, unbelievable. This pic was take long long time ago.
 

Gone but not forgotten. My Ducati Paso 750

I was organizing my photos, when I came across this pic of my Ducati Paso 750 taken in 2001.

Unfortunately, I sold her before moving to work in France, because I was told that it was very difficult to register this motorcycle there. It was all bullshit, excuse my English...
So I will always regret to have sold her.

I sold her via craiglist to a guy located in New York. He did organize the pick-up by FedEx and everything.
Curiously, I met him in person this year at Austin while attending the MotoGP event. I first recognized the her (my Paso) and then I introduced myself and we chatted for a while. It was cool.

She was a rough girl. Specially the clutch. But fun.

Gone but not forgotten.
 

Is it a car or a motorcycle?

I have seen a lot of weird things, but this one is one of the weirdest. Don't you agree?

Back side

I wonder if it pays the toll like a car or like a bike...

Port Costa

Gran bel giro, Yen ha trovato su la rivista di AAA questo paesino sul delta. Si chiama Port Costa, molto molto bellino.

Per andarci abbiamo fatto la strada tra le colline nella zona di Castro Valley. Grande, non c'e' nessuno in giro tante curve e tanto bel verde.

A Port Costa ci sono 10 case massimo, di cui un pub, un ristorante quasi chic e un lodge.
Noi che non siamo molto chic abbiamo mangiato al pub che e' un  posto fenomenale, in piu' fanno un sandwich con la salsiccia alla griglia che e' buono.

 

Shopping... Il negozio vende solo cappelli (escludendo la paraphernalia che c'e' li davanti)

Queste sedie sono un po' rustiche ma commode...

E ora a casa (sotto il capo mafia)
