Secure Parking in ROME

[XL Ged]

I'm going to Rome in July, my family are flying but I will be taking the bike.

I would appreciate any tips on secure bike parking area's either in the city centre, or a short distance outside, even near to the airports.

The parking will need to be covered and secure.

Also, what restrictions are there on me just riding into Rome, is there a permit scheme, what are the pitfalls.

All info appreciated.

It was nearly 8 years ago when I was last there, my scoot was only 1 year old then, so well worth nicking. I found a garage in Via Castro Pretorio, they were good. I think that I had to leave the keys with them!!! In case of emergency. But don't let that put you off, I got my bike back, no scratches, no extra miles on the clock.

I just took a look on Google streetview and the place was still there, #16c. That's about all I can tell you, you'll have to find out the rest yourself. Rome is a great city and it isn't that big, they only had to tube lines back then, but walking around is definitely the way to go.

Your welcome

Thanks for that Aitch, I'll get in contact.
When I fly from Manchester, I park my car nearby in a secure multi storey car park which has attendants 24hrs and no scally's can get in coz it's all fenced and gated. I was looking for something like that at Rome Airport so I can meet my family at the airport and do the touristy thing.
My big problem is that I scraped everything I had to get a new Fat Bob, and with insurance excesses and the recent price rise, I couldn't afford to replace it for a couple of years.
I'm doing the National Rally a couple of weeks before (945 miles last year), and will be going to John O Groats late July, so might just take the soft option and get a flight. My loss I suppose
