Hello Luigi,

Welcome aboard.

This is a world wide forum, but I am not sure that we have a regular contributer from Italy, currently.  Not that I have been paying attention.

But we do have the odd R45 owner.  Not that I am saying that Barry is odd!

Lets have a picture as soon as you can.

Howdy, Luigi. Welcome to our asylum.

Don't know of any other Italian members -could be a lurker somewhere- so I'm thinking we may as well ordain you as the leader of the R65/45 Italian Job. ;)

If you'll make just one more post, you can begin posting photos. For best viewing, try to scale your pics to fit the forum specs. You may already know our forum motto: No bike picture - It doesn't exist.

We and many other Texans will be cheering your countryman, Valentino, at next weekends Red Bull MotoGP in Austin, Texas. Of course, we'd also be pleased to see strong rides from Texans Ben and Colin.

Hello Lugi:

I'm from Locati.  ...ohhh -you meant the other Italy.  

Actually, I was born in the greatest borough in New York - the gateway for many to America:  Brooklyn, New York.

These are the following Boroughs that make up NYCity.  It goes like this: Manhattan (If you have to ask, you can't afford that);Bronx (you've gone to far north); Brooklyn (Hey, yo, get your stinking hands off her.  You've gone to far south...); Queens (Everybody touches my daughter); Staten Island (They're equal to the state of New Jersey.  They fool themselves into thinking they're as good as Brooklynites).

Don't ask me anything about r65 maintenance.  I just put gas in and go.

Best of luck  Angelo

PS  The first image is the view of Manhattan that a few Staten Islanders have.   You can see why they have such an identity crisis.

The second is of the Verrazano bridge.  This allows the Staten Islanders, a day in Brooklyn.  It cost $20 for a round trip passenger car.  The r65 goes about $8 less, I think.  The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) keeps raising the rates, but they still keep coming.  Poor stinkers, they just can't get enough of Brooklyn's finest.

Ciao Luigi!

Sono il mezzo abruzzi (la Villa San Sebastiano) e mezzo Toscano (Tossignano), il benvenuto al foro. Sentire di non vedere l'ora di da lei! Scusarsi il mio italiano, noi lo non più parlare poiché il mio nonna ed il nonna sono morti.

Sure, Valenti, we'll excuse your poor Italian this time. But you're gonna have to talk real Texican when we hit Lockhart this summer. [smiley=grin.gif]
