Italy On Motorbike
Pleasure touring for Rider & Pillion
So, what is real motorcycling? Motorways? Plains with nothing to see? Mile after mile of straight roads? City traffic? No, it most certainly isn’t, at least that’s not how we see it. To us, real motorcycling means enjoying your time on your bike, being stimulated by your environment, being challenged by the road, whether you’re the rider or the pillion. …
Did you know that Ducati HQ in Bologna has its factory there, a museum AND a laboratory? Ducati has a long and wonderful heritage. It started in 1926 as a radio maker, and it’s not before 1944 that it moved its focus into making motorised bicycles, and so the Cucciolo (the puppy) was born in 1946, a little 50cc engine…

The Italian Alps are on the wish list of most bikers, for their challenging hairpins, like the Stelvio or Gavia, their breath-taking panoramic views and for most, a complete change of scenery!

Let’s talk about the roads that bikers love in Italy. The Apennines are obviously different from the Alps for four reasons: for their altitude, they are much lower than the Alps and have passes around 1500m above sea level, therefore more easily passable in spring and autumn for us motorcyclists (when the Alps can still be covered in snow); for…

True or false? Every nation has its own stereotypes: the French eat frogs, the English have a stiff upper lip, the Americans only eat burgers (funny how it seems centered a lot around food!). The Italians have of course not escaped this. Like anything, there’s a lot of truth in them, however a lot of them just aren’t true. Here…
The complexity of touring in Italy Touring in Italy isn’t as simple as it sounds. Mostly because planning your roadtrip without a knowledge of the local roads, doesn’t guarantee you will get the best riding roads. For maximum riding pleasure, there’s no better way than riding with a local, who has spent years exploring all the roads. This means…
In Italy, the kilometers are longer! We often hear: “but the kilometers are longer here, I often do 300/400 km, sometimes even 600 a day, but in Italy it’s impossible”. It’s true: the kilometers in Italy are longer, or at least ours are! Because we, like all Italian motorcyclists, choose the routes according to how many bends they have.…
