Well, it's been a while since our last update, because we've been busy trying to find a new place to live.  It looks like Emily has settled on a project, working with a doctor in Verona (the Romeo and Juliet town).  And since the train schedule to go there from Parma isn't good, we're moving to Bologna! 

Bologna is a very cool town, about twice the size of Parma, the home of the Europe's oldest university, and considered Italy's gastronomic capital.  It's also the home of Ducati, which I'm excited about because I'll have easy access to the museum. 

On the motorcycle front, it's been a little slow lately.  I took the bus to Parma Ducati/KTM/Triumph the other day, it was interesting but a lot of the moto shops here seem to be very small, so it doesn't take long at all to roam around, explain to the salesman that I don't speak much Italian, take some pics, and leave.  To tell the truth it's a bit depressing because we are poor, and motorcycles here are very expensive!

Anyways, at the shop they had some awesome Ducs and Triumphs.  But for me the standouts were definitely these RC8s (which as you may know is my dream bike), check them out...
