I worked for an Oil Company in Milan for about 10 yrs. We had another office in Rome. I had to go to HQ about once a yr for some goofy meeting. It would be a great place to ride in out in the country. I could see the Alps from Milan. Had planned on taking the high speed train to Switzerland but never did. I'm retired now so no more Italy for me.
If you go into the bigger cities, watch out for the pick pockets.
I have recently returned from a solo two week trip around the Alps. If you get any chance to ride a couple of the passes between Italy and Switzerland, do it !
The roads, and the scenery is awesome.. Just watch out the for the crazy cyclists !!

Seriously, Alps in general are almost a religious experience on a harley.
Have fun, Lauren. When I saw the thread title, I thought you were moving.

Beautiful pic. I had to laugh when I saw your name and picture. You ain't that old. Some of us here got warrants older than you.
I was in Italy last year at this time. Rome, Florence, Milan and then rented the Fiat 500 and drove up to the Italian Alps.....the entire drive thru the mountains I was envisioning riding my SG. What a trip!!! I'm going back to the Alps again....but to hike not bike.
Stelvio Pass without a doubt!!!! And a visit to the Moto Guzzi Museum, located in Mandello del lario, Lake Como, the original birthplace of the Moto Guzzi Company, established in 1921, where you can see the Guzzi V8,
International drivers license recommended to drive in Italy
Just picking up Lauren‘s thread. Been to Venice a week ago, as my wife and i go there at least once a year. It was cold but sunny not so many tourists around. Its like coming home, enjoying the days, people and the food. Pics done by my iphone
