Report and photos of my motorcycle trips

Hello dear motorcycling Friends:
I am Alessandro Zorat, live in Trento, Northern Italy, near the Dolomites, work at the University of Trento (dept. of Computer and Management Science) and like to ride motorcycles. Click here for a view of my stable.
Here is my page detailing some memorable outings that I (and other friends) took with my trusted R80-RT of 1980 vintage (named "die Diesel" because of her rather majestic, but slow acceleration).
Recently (end of 1998) I got my hands on another BMW - a 1995 R11RS (named "La Rossa" because of her color). See below for some of the first outings with her.
I am a member of the EuroPrezz mailing list - a spin-off of the IBMWR list, comprising a bunch of Beemer enthusiasts and good friends. For this reason, the reports sometimes refer to other people only by name, since the other EuroPrezz members know who they are.
