Since I am a real m.bike fanatic (i ride m.bikes on street, track, and offroad), I would be glad to find other maniacs here... if you're out there, just let me know!

Just a question... When I was in Italy, 7 years ago, I noticed that motorbike riders didn't wear helmets. Is that still so in Italy?

Mmmmhh... it sounds very strange to me: we must wear helmets since 1984. Perhaps you've been in some big town of southern Italy... There, if wearing an helmet you are suspected to prepare a robbery... since almost nobody respects this rule.

I have forgotten that for 50cc drivers, wearing a helmet was optional for people older than 18... that rule has changed just a few years ago. Probably you have seen many adult 50 cc drivers.

Oh I wish!!! It's my dream bike, that or maybe a Triumph Speed Triple. Awesome!!! I used to ride but I was too reckless and took too many risks, as you do. So after some serious consideration I gave it up.
