Hi everybody

It's great to see an Italian bloke here, apparently, it's you and some other bloke called Giovanni  Laverda.
 
The Laverdas seem to inspire riders like few other marques can, Marco. We're most definitely an international group!  I can't help but compare the passion many feel for our Laverdas to that of the owners of the famous Vincents.  I understand that with enough money one can buy a "new" Vincent.  We aren't there yet, but there are enough seriously talented Laverda lovers to dream of a time when that could be true for our machines as well. 
Ahhhh... no. We at the last gasp of the era of the internal combustion engine, and we aim to go out with a snarl and a roar, it seems.  ;)

It hasn't happened for a while but when people heard I was from London I was often asked " do you know my cousin / friend / brother ? He moved there a year ago..... "

I was travelling in UK some years ago, and told someone I was from Tasmania. He asked if I knew xxx ? as the words came out of his mouth I thought to myself "what are the chances I'll know some random guy out of half a million people who live in Tassie". But as soon as he said the name, I bloody did know him!
 
Was talking to a ozzy in a london pub once, said he was from Perth, from the same suburb as my mum and it turned out that he knew my mother as she had brought his family house from them.

Welcome Marco to the very knowledgeable and often tongue in cheek forum. I think Chris was in the latter with his question. I live in Oslo, and a Turkish taxi driver here, on hearing I was Australian, asked me if I knew his brother who drove a taxi in Sydney, "everyone knows him"!

Caught red handed!
 
well - statistically, there is a fair chance you know everyone in your country by 8th grade latest. This is really surprising, but I feel it somewhat true, as when I go to linked-in, Xing or other platforms that allow to see through whom you know someone that you are trying to connect, very often it is a second hand contact, sometimes a 3rd hand contact but never had more than that.

So - the question isn't THAT unrealistic, at least not statistically if you consider that sometimes people share the same passion and are connected - like we are - in a forum...
 
Welcome lots here with interest in both Breganze and Zane bikes - I recently bought 99 Formula to go with my three cylinder girls ! Quite a lot of the people here have also been to Breganze some in many occasions . Italy is a lovely country to be in , lucky to have worked there of and on for a number of years !
 
Yeah, a trip to Breganze is a good excuse to have a long tour on the alps and dolomites to wear a set of tyres!!

Where have you worked in Italy?
