If you go into the bigger cities, watch out for the pick pockets.

Enjoy the ride, I am envious, Sam

Seriously, Alps in general are almost a religious experience on a harley.

UK, I'm jealous ....

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

For the last year or so I've wanted to get to Italy and rent a Multistrada to ride for a week. Just seems like the right way to enjoy that country.
