Off to Italy

David

Think this could be one for my fellow Brits. I'm taking the scoot to Italy this year for 7 / 10 days, would appreciate if anyone can give me any tips on good places to stay that will have secure parking on the route, probably around Dijon or Geneve.

the French love big bikes and i doubt you will struggle to find secure parking and bike friendly places to stay, my old man had a hoot i was supposed to go with them but work and funds put stop to that, have fun it will be great.
If you have never driven on the continental Europe beware of the traffic islands/roundabouts the french pay total disregard to them and they are one of the scariest free for alls going specially on the prefierique (Paris ring road) and the italians are scooter mad

went down to italy once but late summer. never went the france route when i got off the ferry at calais turn left head to belguim then down through germany (cologne stuttgart then either austria or switzerland then into italy)some terriffic roads dont know what it would be like on a scoot but great on a hog. plenty of beer festivals on route too. anyhow it dont really matter point it and go you will have a great time

Don't know which route across you'll be taking but if you are planning to jump through Belgium... if so, be careful as the roads there can be bad and Belgium drivers have shown me a total disregard for bikes and rather push you of the road.
