Spent 2 1/2 years in Naples, It while in the Navy. I hope you like it. At first you are going to have a spell of culture shock. Trust me it will happen, about the 2nd month. Get out in town, get a translation book, and meet the local Italians. You will have a blast!

kool, im guessin its vicenza, since your in alaska you must not be a dirty stinkin leg.
have fun airborne. the ski trips they run there were always fun. and the food is awesome. only thing that sucks is the training in germany, but you should be use to the cold.

Good for you man. I am living in Rome at the moment with my Nightster. It's truly crazy driving and if you can ride here you can ride anywhere. The roads are great but not well maintained and it's a constant battle with scooters and some outrageous driving.

Upside is that everyone loves bikes here - particularly Sports Bikes.. downside be careful out there. It really is insane. Enjoy your time here in Italy. Keep us all posted as to what you decide to buy. Thanks for the recent posting on your epic trip across the U.S. Great pics and a great story. Spero
