I'm trying to go to Padova in a couple weeks. I was hoping my neighbor Silvano could go but he's visiting family in Rome.
ReplyDeleteWe feel sorry for the folks who must attend these shows as exhibitors. Besides the show in Germany, there's the two in Italy plus the long trek out to Las Vegas in the USA. Hundreds of hours standing on concrete floors in huge, drafty halls, eating bad food (except in Italy of course!) and getting a sore throat from talking up the product. Larry will soon be on his way to Lost Wages - a good chance to see his Italian bike industry amici since we're most often too busy during our summer tour season to visit them.
