Evening scooter ride in Rome~Video
« on: January 24, 2018, 09:49:22 PM »
Amazed at all the scooters seen in this.
The cobbled street doesn't look like much fun.
I think he's tailgating the other bikes too close....but must be Euro scooterin style.
Also, he doesn't pull over for the emergency vehicle behind him.

Don't see any big ol' honkin Buicks on those streets.
Looked like big wheel scooters are the choice.

I need a stiff drink after watching that vid. Europe driving is insane compared to USA, except for Boston, which is as bad as it gets.

STIG!!! I lived at the residence seen at the time between 4:40 --4:50. The orange building on the right. At that time I was driving a Honda SH-150. That video brought back a lot of memories driving through Rome. Thanks for the video. It starts out by the Largo Argentine, then Piazza Venezia, and finally through the Piazza della Pilota next to the Dodici Apostoli Church.
