The corners I really hate are the blind 90degree ones, with some yahoo jamming
up your *** trying to get you to go through over the speed limit.
I use a GPS as a 'cheat' to help things along.
Just got back from Faaker, the roads in Austria and Tyrol are much better.
Sardinia was also quite good, just dont go during tourist season.

Never ridden in Italy, but I've driven there & I gotta say--those drivers are wacked!! There are no traffic laws;only traffic "suggestions".
Only bad thing that happened was I almost drowned--got into a street fight in Venice!

I wanted to do the tail of the dragon before coming out here. But I was too busy getting my house ready to rent out and I wasn't able to go anywhere cool. Oh well.... As far as the one mentioned here goes, maybe towards the end of my tour. I won't like.... I love to ride, but I am still apprehensive a lot of times with taking corners.

Yes... I can take a ferry over. I plan to do that eventually and then ride up to Germany. Will probably be a 2 week vacation.
By the way, I love your Road King Custom. I had the same bike up until March when I traded her in for my Street Glide. Love my glide, but wish I
kept the King. So much cheaper.

I just left Naples after about 3 years, just licensed my bike yesterday. The riding is great!! As mentioned above, do the Amalfi Coast, is is great fun, but be careful, roads are slick and narrow. Get up to Naples, there is a great riding group up there. Most of them are at Bike Week right now (Faaker See, Austria). Enjoy and be safe!!
