ONCE UPON A TIME WEST
It's not for me to say that this world looks like a loose cannon, surely travelling is becoming more and more difficult : local crisis that affect months of planning, visas that cost a fortune, motorbike to be put in quarantine and for which the only thing is to use an antivirus like that for computers, in conclusion all these odd things do not influence me particularly but they make me reflect.
One night I opened my atlas looking for a place where it would have been not too difficult to make a tour by bike, a place I never visited before, suddenly my mind went back to a friend of mine, we were together at school, he lives in the USA and, by sheer chance, he has a restaurant called “Umbria”, yes, I'll go there.
After some calls I finally speak with Giulio, my friend, who lives in San Francisco, the slang is that of a guy living in the USA since 30 years, but the fact that we will meet again after such a long time makes everything easier.
Thanks to my friends I find a KTM 990 , insurance is managed by Giulio, it costs a lot but…the die is cast! One night is enough to book tickets and to ask for EFTA ( an on-line registration necessary to enter in the USA).
18 th June is coming and it will be something in family, my “special” passenger will be Giulio, my 12 years old son. Places we have 
planned to visit give free rein to everybody's fantasy : The Death Valley, The Grand Canyon, Navajo Land and the Monument Valley, Rushmore Mountain and Yellowstone, Yoghi and Bubu's national park, the two small bears of the cartoon that accompanied the afternoons of my childhood, and if we will have some time left we will climb till the Rocky Mountains in Canada to drive back to San Francisco. A month, ON THE ROAD AGAIN, without losing sight of the clock, every excess kilometre, or better, every mile, could cost a fortune, indelible memory!
Special tank to KTM, ACERBIS, MOTOREX, FERRAMENTA FELIZIANI, LEITER LICHT ITALIA, MAZZONI&BIZZAGLIA, GEMICA, GIRAMOTO, a big hug to my friend Emanuele Fiaschini who designed the logo, simply superb!
