This is wizz, ciao from Italy!
Verfasst: Fr 05 Dez, 2014 11:26Dear Tauerntreffen friends, it is nice to see you back! 
I’m reading this forum from many months, and I just decided to join it.
My name is Alessandro, but everybody is calling me “wiz”, I’m currently based in Italy from all my 27 years old, I live in Lugo di Romagna (Ravenna province), just an hour away from Bologna and Rimini, and a couple of hours from Florence and Venice.
I’m riding a motorcycle from when I was around 16: it was the only way to get the city from the small village where I’m living, that’s not having any good public connection (no train – some bus).
First it was just a 50cc scooter, then at 19 I get into a Yamaha SR 250 Classic (for which I spent all my 1.500€ savings at that time
), then on an Honda CBR 600 F Sport (F4i) that took me to tracks and races world and to motocross (as a winter training while we couldn’t get to the tracks).
Then, in 2009 I seized my Yamaha 250 for the second time, so I decided to get bigger vehicle for the road as well: I got a fantastic Honda CBF 600 S, dated 2008, with just 4.000 kilometers! So after being my daily-means-of-travel (also in winter), I got into travelling as well.
I thought I could get anywhere with this very big bike, so I widened my travel’ destinations, in Italy at first (Sicily was the best trip, 5.000 km in 2 weeks!), then in Europe: I discovered the Elefantentreffen meeting in Germany, taking place every year in the end of January, then in 2012 I made my first big tour with a group of friends, heading to Russia through the Baltics, getting to Saint Petersburg and Moscow.
That winter, due to my job, I was in Australia for many weeks, then during Christimas time I had a stop in Thailand, alone. I rented a scooter and I started traveling through this wonderful country, alone, and I discovered a new way to enjoy places and meet people. Hereafter, I never stopped.
In 2013 I’ve been traveling to Poland and Kaliningrad Region during spring time, then to Nordkapp in summer, every time alone but never feeling like that. In winter I had two free weeks again, I was looking for renting a bike again in Thailand or maybe Perù, but price for airplane tickets and rent were too expensive. And I wanted to try a real winter travel, in the cold: let’s head again to Moscow!
Temperature was not so cold, but the trip will be unforgettable…
I get too long in writing, as usual, so I will tell something more in the forum!
See you around and can't wait for 31st of January!
Travel your dreams
