Hello, my name is Fabrizio and I living in Rome Italy.
Since I was child Im in love for American classic bikes.
In 2016 with first money I bought my first bike, a Sportster XL 883 of 2005 black with carburetor (I wanted it).
I still remember such I was happy to have an Harley and see it in my garden was like a dream.
I rode her for more of 50000 kilometers until I tried a Softail 1340. Fallen in love for this bikes in 2019 I bought a Fat Boy vivid black of 1997 which Im still happy to have and ride.
I had also other bikes like:
An orange Buell X1, really torquay exciting bike with I had a bad accident.
A black sportster XL1200S whit a fantastic engine that often led me to a hooligan driving.
A Japanese bike, Yamaha FZ6 Fazer but at last I never fallen in love with her.
After her, missing a Sporty the last November I bought a 883 electric blue of 2001 that I still have.
Besides ride my bikes I also like doing works and maintenance by myself, the last work I made was change the rocker covers gaskets of the 883 that were leaking.
Im happy to be part of this big forum, thanks ✌️
In Italy with the small roads is it difficult to ride bigger bikes there. Im slated to go there in November
Thanks you all!
Here in Italy is true the streets are generally smaller than in USA and more tortuous but believe me with the Fat boy I dont feel problem between the curves. After years of riding I also learned how to make curves more quickly using my body and lean the bike less.
Whit here I prefer a relaxing riding, but sometimes is fun going quick through the curves. 👍
