My husband and I just rode 2 days with Adrian and Tuscany Motorcycle Tours 2 weeks ago in April on a BMW RT1200. We had an absolute blast! Adrian took us on incredible roads with curves we have never experienced before! I am still reliving it over and over again in my mind. There is nothing like Tuscan roads in America and to experience them on a bike was exhilarating. Curves for days and days. The lunch spots Adrian picked were fantastic too! We did the seaside/Volterra tour and the Chianti tour. So. Much. Fun. If you are American and ride...you MUST go! Awesome video! Can't wait to see the roads you took back from Bologna!

I presume that was kilometres per hour on the speedo!!! Traffic gets a bit thick but at least everyone is reasonably courteous and keeps to the right unless overtaking which allows for smooth flow. Here in Aus you will get some numpties that will sit in the outside lane right on or just under the limit and will not move. Bloody frustrating. Florence & the Tuscany region is a beautiful part of Italy and a joy to drive or ride in. Beats sitting behind a desk in a stale office. Enjoy

Hi TMF - one big difference between Bologna and Northampton and that’s the food (not to mention one of the oldest universities in the world!!)!! It’s a very difficult one way system in Bologna - did you go in? We ended up getting a ticket sent in the mail back to the UK as we conveniently drove all the way through a pedestrian area and parked in a cafe for afternoon coffee etc. Very funny now but tough at the time!! I blame Rick Stein! Great run along that motorway though - really beautiful scenery. Know a lot of the areas you’re planning to visit so can’t wait for this series to unfold! The villages and towns around Sienna are always well worth a visit. Anyway, how was the bike - even with the cable loop framing the speedo?

Fun Info on italian Autostrada, Motorcycle pay the same as car, because there isn't a class specifically for Motorcycle. The only way to avoid the full price is to get a Telepass (is a selfpaying-nonstop method like the american EZPAY), and only register one bike per apparatus (you can have 2 veicle for device, but not in this case, unless you whant to pay the full price) and then go (as in phisically go) to a Autostrada service center and make a declaration thet the numberplate is indeed one from a Motorcyle. After you do all that... you get a 30% discount. And this is still a realtively new thing, it's been introduced a couple years back, and is still on a temporary basis will be terminated in July this year, unless it's extended. And is it woth it? yes, you just do one long ride on the autostrada, like 300 km, and it pays for it self!

Your channel becomes better and better,always something to see,for everyone a little bit,rides,reviews,jokes...nice staf...I didn't like it at the beginning but now is very very interesting watching it. You really look after this channel and paying attention on details,to make every subscriber happy...always reply with polite answer even on rude comments...never seen on channel 'apologise folks' ....' no video this week'...never ever swear....and that staf,like Bruce tea pot who doesn't care,but always saying 'subscribe folks ' On what I need to subscribe,on changing angles on camera milion times during the video,riding like crazy,uploading bullshit!After his video I need to go and visit GP for advice... I wish I can be organized like you TMF,and make everyone happy! 😎 One thing in my opinion was better before is that intro which you use to have...you just need to make it somewhere in nature,during the summer,as you always go to different places,Im sure you can manage that and make it look professional,good music and you are done! You than Richy Vida,that's it from English KZbin! No pork chops rides,no chicken drumsticks,no workshops and so on...

Glad you are enjoying my channel Aleks, I used to like that intro too but alas my KZbin analytics showed that I used to lose 33% of my viewers as it ran! - appreciate you stopping by. All the best - TMF

Hi Mr Flyer, I am a long term GS(A) rider - owned three generations - and considering a second bike. Doubt between the 2021 Speed Twin and the Scrambler 1100 pro sport. I like the looks of both. Share dome thoughts? I want to use it for travelling too, although I realise it would be 'challenging', since I'm so used to the mighty GS. I just take it easy then.

Well I rode both and bought the Speed twin - 'nuff said?
