Also when the worst happens always try the back button as it can sometimes take you back to the relevant page.

How is the bike Tom? Looks really comfy. I gave up biking 5 year ago due to the bones feeling the cold more than i used to and far to much traffic on the roads. I could be tempted back seeing these pictures though.
Hey Mr D, what are you talking "old"? You don't look much more than a schoolboy of that avatar pic.
The bike? Well Maxi scooter's were a revelation for me. Imo they drag motorcycling out of the dark ages and into the 21st century. They're automatic, so no clutch, gear every 30 seconds when you're in traffic. No oily chain to prat about with. Incredible weather protection, I can ride at 70 with my visor up no problem. Loads of secure storage. Mine has about 60 liters of space under the seat, (that's as much as a good sized rucksack) and a full sized glove box with 12 volt charger socket, plus a few other spaces, and that's without the top box.
ABS brakes, heated grips, instrument panel with all the bells and whistles, and mine was just a cheap second hand jobbie. God knows what the new ones are like.
The purists will tell you it's not proper motorcycling, well perhaps it's not, but it's bloody good fun.

In Milan today. They have loads of these, they look ancient to me. Apparently the local nickname for them is gamba di legno, the wooden leg. Presumably because of the clonking sound they make as they limp along.

Wow at that Church thing.
As the locals might say, le magnifique.

Disappointed - was hoping for tales of unseasonable gales, squalid hostels and roadside running repairs, seems like your having too much fun.

Au contraire mon ami. We had all of those, details of which were in the long lost and much lamented post.
I'll do some cliffs later.

Could the name be a reference to the braking system? The ones in San Francisco brake using wooden blocks that give off a great burning smell when being used.

Could well be. Am pretty sure they are Peter Witt Streetcars - very famous, & dating back to the 1930's, are used all over the World, & many of the cars originally used in Milan are now in daily use in San Francisco.
I travelled on these regularly in San Fran back in the 80's, & they were bumpy & clanky, but really rather wonderful, & thoroughly reliable.

Are you planning to get to Tuscany ? If so, recommend a stop off in a great old walled town - Lucca.
Great trip for you :-) Keep the reports coming

Would second this. Loved Lucca.

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots
