[QUOTE="teerex51, post: 265745, member: 146"] Sadly, it's true... and it's gotten worse in the past couple of years. Riding in Italy has gone from "la dolce vita" to nightmare in less than a decade. :angry: In view of their total impotence and inability to better educate drivers and riders, the legislators here have chosen an over-the-top punitive course, with the added benefit of pumping up the income of local townships. So it's fixed radars everywhere and "kangaroo" speed traps at every corner. A campaign for road safety takes money, time and intelligence. All such items are in short supply in Parliament. The end result for the bike rider is: you have f***ed-up cagers all around you, lawless scooter drivers everywhere in the city and when you finally hit the twisties it's like flying a bomb run on Hanoi :blink: You need a backseater to warn you of all electronic devices pointed at you. So, I'm taking the FJR to Spain this Tuesday --- thank you very much. Good roads, friendly people and cheaper gas. [I]Vamos![/I] :yahoo: Stef [/QUOTE]
