I'm heading to Sicily at the end of April and want to rent a motorcycle for a couple days. Anyone ever ridden in Sicily? Any suggestions as to what roads/areas are good riding? I'll be riding solo and don't speak Italian, am I screwed once i get out of the cities as far as anyone speaking English?
I went to Sicily in 2011, so I have an idea of what to expect as far a city traffic (controlled chaos) but not sure about venturing out into the countryside. I'll be renting the bike out of Catania and will have a home base with the wife and kids in Taormina for a week, planning on day trips from there and at least one overnight somewhere, looking for suggestions on where that overnight somewhere should be.
Looking at 2 places to rent from:
Motorcycle Tours, Training & Rentals Worldwide | AdMo-Tours
CIMT: motorcycle rental sicily - rent a motorbike in sicily - rent a motorcycle in catania - motorcycle rental catania
Anyone have any experience with either company? I'm leaning toward the admo-tours right now because drop-off/pick-up location is better.
And, Triumph Tiger 800 or BMW F700GS?
After the week in Taormina we do a week in Messina with wifes cousins and the a couple days outside of Palermos with other cousins.
