Not in Italy myself, but ....almost , Athens, Greece here. SO if you make it across to Greece I'd be happy to meet you.

Almost, but not quite. I can see Italy out the window, but it's a 15 minute drive to get there.

Another one here, I lived in Florence from mid teens to mid twenties, my sister still lives there and I travel there regularly both on business and pleasure. That's where I got my love of Ducatis (had my first bike, a Ducati 250 Scrambler there), It has always been my intention to return to live there one day......

Going 31. may

I'm going to Mugello this year.

To Rome and hopefully pick up a carb 900 SS and then head for the MotoGP race.

I'm going to Italy next week to visit some factories...

 

[amullo]

I hope you have a good time Moto..

What factories where you thinking of visiting? Are you planning to travel by rentalcar or bus/taxi/train?

If you decide on a rental, i would advice on a co-driver or a GPS system. The Autostrada´s are fast, but cost some $$ to use. The SS- roads are fair, but see lots of truck traffic (at least in the north).

I used my Mio Mitac 269 GPS in Italy and the system was flawless in navigation.

Here are one or two adresses you might try..

Dainese
Via dell´ Artigianto 35
36060 Molvena (North from Vicenza)
Crossroads: Via Villa – Via Roma (SP70)
Route: Via Ponticello (SPVIII)

Alpinestars
Via Arsure 2,
31039 Riese, TV
Crossroads: Via Alcide de Gasperi
Route: Via Castellana (SP6)

Ducati
Via C. Ducati
Borno Pangiale
Bologna
Crossroads: Via della Salute
Route: A-14 Exit No.3 Tangenziale Nord Bologna
Route, local: Via Marco Emilio Lepido
Easy to find... not far from Bologna Airport.

The Dainese and Alpinestars adresses are for both factory AND outlet.

I just moved to Italy. I live near Brescia in a town called Desenzano del Garda. I've been here for about 2 months now and love it. I'd love to meet up with some fellow Ducati owners for ride sometime.

That's about 2 hours from here. Weather's getting a bit cold for a ride there, though I ride year round around here. I'll be riding to EICMA tomorrow, but that's less than an hour.

I just left Italy in June Lived in Naples for just over two years, and loved every minute of it! I know the mountain riding up north is nice, but you cannot beat the riding in Naples; the scenery, the weather, and the damn near non-existant law enforcement make for some pretty exciting times!! I hope to return there in about two years or so.

My girlfriend lives about 100 yards from Italy. We usually walk there for a coffee after dinner.
