Thanks for posting these! So cool! Post a couple of tail shots so we can see the Italian plates, too.
 
Some old, some new. Tons of GS, AT, Harleys and an occasional Vstrom or Bandit as well.
Harleys here are just about a bad as those fully electric Citroen or Peugeot cars that are so small that they park in m/c parking spots without getting a ticket.
Will have pics of those tomorrow. ttfn.

Last and by no means least (I know we have them in TX but … ) a beautiful example of a 2 mos old Triumph Speed Twin 900 that was indeed being ridden by a distinguished gentleman and ex paratrooper by the name of Andrea who graciously allowed me to photograph it just outside the cafe in Siena this evening. This Speed Twin, as he explained, was the replacement to his 1998 Bonneville that had unfortunately given up the ghost after many years of faithful service.

Just back from Goropu in Sardegna. To describe it as a motorcyclist paradise would be the understatment of the millenia.
Beaches here are beautiful but, clearly pale in comparison to the unspoiled, never ending, very tight, super twisty roads that go on seemingly forever found in the mountains of the interior.

Unfortunately I was in a rental car but, took a few shots of the local watering hole for all the assembled m/c riders.

I once did a full drive around Scotland in a rental car. That was painful too, but not as much as you have suffered.
