I am looking into buying a Suomy Motorcycle helmet (Italian made) but I don’t think any of the local shops carry them, maybe MotoCorsa but they are closed. Anyone know of a place I can try on sizes to get a better idea? Thanks

Just pick up the phonebook and call around everywhere you can be bothered checking out.

I’m sure at least one will stock them. And if MotoCorsa’s closed, why not just wait til it’s open? What’s the rush?

i seem to notice some motorcycle clubs,sometimes called gangs, has more Italians ,Italian surnames,than others

It’s regional. Any club in the north-east is liable to have more people of Italian descent.
Where I live, lots of bikers have Spanish surnames.

The "gang" designation is tool for local cops to draw overtime and federal "anti-gang" funds as a reward for harassing bikers.

Now I dont know much about it but my brother gave me an italian motorcycle but it has pedals on it and I have never seen a motorcycle with pedals. what are they called and how much could they be worth? I thinks its a classic too.

It’s quite an old moped. You could get some good money for it. People collect them, and there’s gangs and clubs dedicated to mopeds.

Hi everyone. First of all I apologise for my grammatical errors! I am an Italian girl… I hope my english to be good enough to make you understand!
I bought my Yamaha MT-03 2 months ago, but here in Italy we have a restriction of two years after the graduation (25kW maximum power, maximum relationship power (kw)- weight (kg) = 0.16 kW / kg, no limits on engine capacity) to drive powerful motorcycles and we have to limit the power of the bike with a special kit.
Before purchasing my motorcycle, I contacted the Yamaha official centre to ask if it were possible to limit the power of the model and they told me that was… I ordered the kit but 1 month after I have received no news.

2 months after I’m here without my bike because Yamaha says (NOW???????) this kit is no longer produced….. There is another kit for the new model (from 2008, my bike was produced in 2007) but they don’t know if is compatible (they don’t know……Mah…. I don’t think that is something difficult to check… But unfortunately I live in Italy….You know: pizza-mafia-mandolino-Silvio…I apologise with you for my culture….).

I’m quite desperate and I really don’t know where I could crash my head…

My questions are:
-Have you got the same restrictions?
-Do you think that an english kit is compatible with my Italian motorcycle?
-Could I buy it from England?

The 25kw (or 33bhp over here) restriction for two years after passing your test applies to all E.U., countries.

The restrictor kits should be all the same.

If you can find a dealer in the U.K. with one in stock to fit an ’07 MT-03, I’m sure they would sell it to you.

Question: What is the truest definition of Globalization?

Answer: Princess Diana’s death.

Question: How come?

Answer: An English princess

with an Egyptian boyfriend

crashes in a French tunnel,

driving a German car

with a Dutch engine,

driven by a Belgian who was drunk

on Scottish whisky, (check the bottle before you change the spelling)

followed closely by Italian Paparazzi,

on Japanese motorcycles;

treated by an American doctor,

using Brazilian medicines.

This is sent to you by an American,

using Bill Gate’s technology,

and you’re probably reading this on your computer,

that uses Taiwanese chips,

and a Korean monitor,

assembled by Bangladeshi workers
in a Singapore plant,

transported by Indian lorry-drivers,

hijacked by Indonesians,

unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen,

and trucked to you by Mexican illegal’s…..

I like how the large amount of spaces make this a wall of text

Good point. It also goes beyond that. There isn’t a nation on this planet that doesn’t love a Cinderella story, unfortunately this one had a tragic ending that brought tears to every ones eyes.

Have you seen this?

on youtube.com, look up the Great Italian Motorbike Display

You’re going to be amazed, if you haven’t already seen it!

My husband found it tonight! It’s pretty crazy, awesome, and neat! What did you think about it?

Cool that took some practice

It’s just like Valentino Rossi’s fans bashing all the other motorcycle racers… It’s not right!
For the slowwwww ones… check the questions in this same category… four questions before (FOUR like the stars on the ITALIAN jersey)… by the BIG LOSER…

French fans are pathetic losers.

Hi, I need some manuals in English for a translation from Italian (even better if there are manuals in many languages).
Anyone know where I can find some on the net?
Thanks

use google translator, and type in the italian, and it will translate it to english for you.
