FEAR the little wheels on cobblestones, as you have in one pic. I have bad memories of wiping on a vespa near the Piazza Venezia in Rome,... Otherwise the pics look nice. Stig you should take a trip to Rome and rent a scooter. You can rent either a 50, 150 or 300cc bike. You seem to enjoy posting pics of scooters and European cities. You can hit all 4 major basilicas in Rome in about an hour on a scooter. St. Paul's outside the walls takes the longest to get to...There is nothing like being on a scooter and driving down the via conciliatione with the Vatican staring right at you. Nonetheless, keep riding!

Dean, google "motor scooter on the streets of New York" (Frisco, Chicago, etc., etc.) .....see how few images you'll get.
For 5 years I've asked big city scooter owners on 4 scoot forums to share photos of their scoot in cool urban settings. I can count easily on two hands how many have been posted.
I go Euro because that's where the scooters & images of scooters are found.
I've been on foot in most of our biggest cities, and of those in Germany, Austria, England, Switzerland and France. Scooters are fun...but I much, much prefer to experience cities on foot.
I am glad you enjoyed Italy your way.
