Sioux City -Waterloo- Dubuque- Galena- Chicago ( 490 mls)

As the yesterday`s stage , also today this was the scenery for hundreds mls . Question : How many pop corn does the Americans eat every day day ?

and again .... no human presence . Where are they ? I`ve though that maybe the aliens are kidnapping everybody that is not using cars or a trucks !!!!

At the last moment we`ve decided to continue on the 20 east , we crossed the Mississippi River
and we have found this amazing city : Galena . Very nice



Approaching Chicago the trucks presence became normal .


After 490 mls we finally arrived to Chicago.






Today we are off.

To Mirco Concato

When I was posting the last stage I have received a bad news from Italy . A friend passed away . Mirco was riding his bicycle with the same enthusiasm I know he had since when we were working together . He`ve lost control of his mountain bike and he felt down on the dirty road hitting a rock with a head .........He didn`t stand up anymore, and he died in this stupid way . He will not jump on his bike again because from what I`ve heard he wasn`t wearing the helmet !!!!! Folks , (especially kids ) anytime that you jump on two wheels, on a skateboard , snowboard etc etc , do not forget that the helmet can save your life ! Wear it and keep it fasten !!!!!!!!!!!!! Mirco was a great man , always available when anybody of us were need something . We all will miss his energy and his smile . Goodbye my friend , I know that you are already all over us , part of that nature I `ve been so lucky to see in the last 15 days ! I `d like to imagine you in one of these clou...

Hi fellows , in this particular moment of my life and after almost 30 years dedicated mainly to work ( yeah yeah .... I have had also fun time) , I have decided to give to myself and to my son a gift . I have always thought to give to Oliviero (soon... it will be a man ) something different , and considering that it is not so easy to dedicate time to our kids and to ourself ( you know....we are always busy to pursue material things ) , I have took the decision to spend an entire a month on vacation with him . As a father ,I was looking to give to him a special "regalo" , something he can remember for the rest of his life . After days that I was thinking what to do, I have found the perfect one !!!!! A journey across USA to see together the natural beauties of this amazing country and to be face to face to the real AMERICA . Thus , I have rented from Jupiter Rental Bike in B`klyn a BMW RT 1200 (thanks Chris), with the plan to begin this "special" trip from the Cit...

Niagara Falls - New York (410mls)

The falls in the morning . Sometimes I feel like M.Modine in Birdie . I would like to have the wings and I`m wondering why we do not have it to fly over the world like these gooses or this seagull. then I see people with this weight and I understand why for the humans it`s better walk ! The waitress asks : do you want small or large ? Olly said , small !!!!!! Look his Mexican salad : "this is a normal size in America" Upstate NY is very "country side" . To come down to the City we didn`t take the main higway , so , we `ve felt to be thousands mls away from the metropolitan area . Rain again Unfortunately the last two hours we are been under a very heavy rain and it was foggy . It`s been difficult to ride . the rain stopped when we were arriving to the city tired ( look my eyes) but happy at Motorcycle Federation where Leila gave me a fresh beer . It`s been great !!!!!!!!!!!!
