Won't make mileage this year!!!
« on: September 06, 2011, 04:15:49 AM »
Have tried to get 10K a year since I got her, but wont make it this year. not enough business trips and I bought a new Fiat convertible which steals time from the bike.  Will rack up just under 8K I think. Oh well - they were at least all good miles!

Furbo, I had the pleasure of living at Aviano for 4 yrs (1996-2000), the Air Base near Pordenone.  And it was a blessing as my great grandfather came from Italia.  He was from the Avellino Regione near Benevenoto, a small town with roman ruins on a hill called Frigento.  Mio nome ist Marco Cipriano  :) , but poco poco itliano.

Ciao!

A very wet spring and an really hot summer, for here, conspired to prevent me from making much more than 4000 miles on the Concours this year, I feel your pain. BTW, the Fiat 500 is just now appearing on streets here, NE Ohio.

Move 1050 miles away from your kids and grandchildren.  You end up with a lot of high mileage weeks and maybe even a few more IBA thousand mile days.     
Yep, still riding the old one
