Look what the silversurfer is up to

Ben's wild and crazy adventures in Italy. Here's what Ben has been up to lately. He hasn't gotten his knee down but he has managed to drag his pegs a couple times which is pretty impressive on such a tall bike like the BMW 1200GS. So far, no severe casualities (only minor ones). A stupid slow sweeper, I didn't even know what I hit. Maybe an oil patch or something but it wasn't a gravel road. No major damages just a bruised ego. And on the second day, a guy I was riding with went down and broke his clavicle in two places.

You think our roads are bad?
