ABOUT ME
I was born and raised in Italy. I started riding at 14, after dreaming about it for most of my childhood. In a couple of years I understood that was what I wanted and how I wanted to be defined, as a rider. I’ve owned 15 motorcycles in the past 23 years, one of them was a 1992 K100RS16V and recently I realized the BMW was the one I was missing the most. So, I came back to the brand to stay.
I believe all of the riders try different brands, but in the end they choose BMW when they ‘grow up’ and they achieve the right experience.
I’m very far from riding my 25,000+ miles a year I used to ride, for work and family reasons, but I try to ride as much as I can.

Thanks !
BTW, yesterday I was reading my own signature on ADVRider (If you don't follow your dreams you might as well be a vegetable - B. Munro) and I decided that I simply can't stop commuting, after a day on the train.
So, this morning I took the pig out and rode it to the city.
Thanks for your help!

I stopped splitting lanes on the LIE with my R12GS after reading of the crackdown on ADV.
Yesterday, I passed three cars to get in front of them at the light and I got pulled over.
All the documents were okay but they gave me a ticket for lane splitting....$100 + 3 points (probably)
It sucks big time. Today I left the pig home and used the train. It sucks even more.
I've been riding for 23 years, spent splitting lanes carefully, not to...
