It was a little more than 1 month ago when I got the chance to catch a vacation to Cumbuco, Brazil.

Amsterdam-Albiate 2 anni dopo

Tornare in Italia in moto e’ una stronzata, ma di tutte le stronzate e’ quella che faccio piu’ volentieri, potrei dire parafrasando una famosa citazione di Woody Allen.

A distanza di 2 anni, e dopo aver spergiurato che non avrei fatto mai piu’ una cosa simile, i brutti ricordi se ne sono andati ed e’ tornata la voglia del viaggio in moto Amsterdam-Albiate.
