Hi foccers, this is Bender a senior member of FazerItalia forum.
I'm 48 and own a FZ1 1st generation coming from a beloved FZS600. Here they are:
...sorry wife is calling for lunch. See you later... ;)

Hey Bender,

-
Ahahahah you're funny, I knew it ! :lol
Yes, so I had lunch and here I am. I was telling you something about me and my bikes, here they are:
my FZS600 that died last may :'( at the times she carried me around our beautiful Dolomiti:

This is me (ahahah, yes, exactly the yellow one) facing the Mugello's circuit near Florence during a stop of the 2012 session of FMI's GSSS course, the bike is the 3rd from left:

This is still me in front of the Elephant's rock, in my beloved Sardinya, the isle that bore me, with my brother's Honda Hornet 600

and, TaDa ! Last but not least, the following is my FZ1 :kiss (sorry, it was a little bit dirty in that picture :o 8) ), as she was when I bought her from a friend of mine (only 11000 kms), who used her only to go to the office and return back home. Look at the tyres... no words, mates !

I think you understand that my preferite hobby is motorcycling, but I would like to tell you that I like also to do some diy maintenance on my bikes.
Other interests are electronics (microcontrollers and also old tubes amplifiers), cycling (both on and off road), martial arts.
I also have two cats and a little dog (shortly some photos). Oh, yeah, the wife i told you before (I really don't know how she can endure me :rolleyes ) and two daughters.
Got bored ? sorry, i promise i shut up for a bit ! :o
Thank you for your hospitality in da forum. ;)
(sorry for my bad English)

Hi Chris, I loved that bike. I bought her in 2002 and she unfortunately threw me high side last May, after a corner, when we were having a lot of fun as we were going down from the Cerreto pass to Fivizzano (in the Appennini mountain chain), near a little hamlet named (ok, feel free to laugh a lot...) "La Vagina"... Look at center of the map if you can't believe me. :lol
http://goo.gl/maps/z6k9N (http://goo.gl/maps/z6k9N)
She forgave me a lot of times, but maybe that time I have exaggerated a bit.
Fortunately, I dressed my biker suit, and I broke only two ribs but nothing else. Not a scratch more.
The motorcycle instead suffered the deformation of the rear frame and breaking the windshield and tail. The repair would cost me too much!
Because I loved her very much, I decided to return the plate to the Register and sell the parts that were in a good state. In that way she can live in other bikes (also I can earn money). The FG shock dampers were the first things I sold...
-
That's a shame mate, broken ribs must have hurt, glad it wasn't anything worse.
Nice to think that your bike lives on through its parts on other bikes too. :)
P.S. there is a place on the island I live called twatt. haha

I think you meant "che è una bella moto" by translating "which is a nice looking bike". Don't you ? ;)

Hi Bender,
Welcome!
In May my friends and I are doing a European tour, and passing through Northern Italy.
Based purely on distance, we thought we would stop the first night in Italy near Lake Como, and the second somewhere near Bolzano.
So basically one night in the North West (we have to make it all the way from Switzerland via South of France that day) and another night in the East (so we can ride the Dolomites).
Are these good places to say the night, or could you suggest nice places?
And can you suggest any nice roads through the Dolomites which you would recommend?
Thanks, and again welcome,
Andy

Hi Bender,
Welcome!

Hi Andy, and thank you for welcome.
What can I reply ? How can you ask the innkeeper if his wine is good ? :)
The places You mentioned before are all beautiful locus. The Como Lake has mentioned in the well known Alessandro Manzoni's (*) "Promessi Sposi" historical novel:
"Quel ramo del lago di Como, che volge a mezzogiorno, tra due catene non interrotte di monti, tutto a seni e a golfi, a seconda dello sporgere e del rientrare di quelli, vien quasi a un tratto, tra un promontorio a destra e un'ampia costiera dall'altra parte; e il ponte, che ivi congiunge le due rive par che renda ancor più sensibile all'occhio questa trasformazione e segni il punto in cui il lago cessa, e l'Adda ricomincia per ripigliar poi nome di lago dove le rive, allontanandosi di nuovo, lascian l'acqua distendersi e rallentarsi in nuovi golfi e in nuovi seni..."
All around it you can find a lot of cheap Bed and Breakfast inns, take a look at this for reservation:
http://www.bed-and-breakfast-in-italy.com/bed_and_breakfast_lake_como.cfm (http://www.bed-and-breakfast-in-italy.com/bed_and_breakfast_lake_como.cfm)
For a great Dolomities ride I suggest you to keep the Marmolada mountain range (not sure the term is right...) in the center of your interests; there are unique views in that place and also lots of curves if you like to drive your bike in that way. So, IMHO, I'd go over there:
http://goo.gl/maps/2AKBi (http://goo.gl/maps/2AKBi)
For the accommodation the same as I said before.
But, let me say that if you want to see the beauty of Italy you have to go a little further south, for example, coming from the south of France, you could go along the coast in Liguria, thru famous "Cinque Terre" and then back along the Apennines on the highway quickly via Parma, Modena, Verona, Trento and so on to the Dolomities. Everyone of the cities mentioned has a particularity: beauties, breathtaking views, Castles, history and everything you would like to find in Italy. However, I can understand that the path is already decided, especially if the major destinations are in the middle of the continent.
Let me know if you are going to come to Italy and precisely when, I'll be very happy if we can meet together with some FazerItalia's member. ;)
Have a nice ride whatever you decide to do. ;)
p.s. here some images of an our Dolomiti Tour:

"La Vagina"...

[/size]Very good but not a lot of promise for a 'bender'.

[/size]Sorry but could not resist, welcome to the mad house, have fun.

I'm afraid I don't quite understand. However, I would like to precise that I usually bend others, not myself... 8)

Over here in the uk a "bender" is another word for a homosexual. Obviously a vagina would be of no use to a "bender". Although from your avatar we know you are refering to the funniest character in futurama :D
-
Can a moderator please note that a bigger shovel is required here :)
A 'bender' is slang ( another name ) for a homosexual, gay man, poof etc. So 'bender' and 'vagina' don't really go together ;)
-
:eek So, do you advise me to change my nickname ?
No, no, I am an old-fashioned man and I don't follow the nowadays trends...
...but, if over the Channel there is a surplus of the item above, please do not hesitate to send it here... :lol
-
Hahaha, it's fine as long as you keep the avatar. haha
And no, you can't have any of our viginas either! haha! Well, you can have the fat chicks and the chavs but we're keeping the rest!
-
I give up for now. :rolleyes
But I will try to learn all your slang, then we start again ... ok ? :D
-
:lol
-
Ahahahah You're funny gays....
uhm sorry for my poor English, I actually wanted to say "guys"... :o 8)
-
HAHAHAHA!! :rollin
you'll fit in well around here!
-
Will be because of the bike: all the same brand and model...
Maybe there will be a virus hidden beneath the saddle. :look
-
Please insert girder!

Yes truly a damn nice name... a thing i've learned here, a new nickname is needed. I should change it... yeah ! :\
Yep, we can organize a meeting with our two Fazer Owner Club, if you like.

Don't understand that gag, isn't the girder a sort of timber ? :rolleyes
What's the meaning of da sentence ?
By the way, Bender literally:
"...often exhibits sociopathic behavior, is a pathological liar and rarely shows any empathy (His most famous catchphrase to any bothersome person is: "Bite my shiny metal ass!"). He has a mostly voluntary morality and constantly steals, ranging from the petty theft of wallets to crimes such as kidnapping Jay Leno's head and stealing Fry's blood. He also once stole Amy's earrings while giving her a hug. It was shown in "Roswell That Ends Well" that even in a disassembled state, his individual limbs carry on attempting to steal anything in proximity; the hand on his dismembered arm steals a wallet out of a scientist's pocket before becoming inactive again...".
So he has many "merits", but he is not "a bender"... :D
-
Talking about the girder.
Ok, I asked for it to "Mom's Robot Factory", actually Bender was built to bend steel girders. So if he can bend steel, he can bend everything. Be aware ! 8) 8) 8)

Some more shots and then I'll stop posting:
Following my beloved Sardinya, David Herbert Lawrence (a British writer, 1885-1930) wrote:
"…Usually, the lifelevel is reckoned as sea-level. But here, in the heart of Sardinia, the life-level is high as the golden-lit plateau, and the sea-level is somewhere far away, below, in the gloom, it does not signify. The life-level is high up, high and sun-sweetened and among rocks. We stood and looked below, at the puff of steam, far down the wooded valley where we had come yesterday. There was an old, low house on this eagleperching piazza. I would like to live there."
"...Sardinia is another thing: larger, more usual, not at all irregular, but that fades away in the distance. Ridges of hills as heath, irrelevant, you are losing, perhaps, to a group of peaks ... enchanting space around and distance to travel, nothing finished, nothing definitive. it is like freedom itself. "
