General Discussion / Re: Anyone near Aviano, Italy?

Correct, I can only register 3 vehicles for my tour there.  I realize this would max it out from the start, is there a reason for concern for that?  I have been keeping that thought on my radar but haven't really considered it much of an issue mostly because I don't know why it would be?  I am open to advice and reasons why of course!  With the money I get from selling my truck and Miata I had planned to pick up a VW GTI through MAS as transportation.

I was planning on 2016+ for sure if I go SR/DSR.  Being pretty ignorant of the surrounding area, not having other guys I know there already that ride, and knowing that the majority of the guys live a considerable distance from the base were the reasons I was thinking of trading the FXS in on something with more range. 

The FXS has been 99% trouble free.  Any issues have been minor at most (button on dash stopped working, replaced quickly and free of charge by my local dealer but didn't preclude the bike from operating fine).

Are there any specific threads for the Euro owners you mentioned? 

Thanks for the replies so far, I'm not at all trying to be dismissive so I hope it doesn't come across that way.  I really do appreciate your input.

It affects the Jeep Grand Cherokee too since it has the option of the same Italian made 3.0L V6.  I have a Ram 1500 with the Ecodiesel and I love the truck so I'm hoping it's in fact not true however I read somewhere that FCA used the same company for their emissions control hardware/software (Bosch I believe?) which makes the case easy for the prosecution.  I really want to keep my truck but I think this could be the end of FCA's light diesel program.  I love the economy and power I get out of my EcoD. I can get over 600 miles from a tank of fuel and when I did an almost all highway trip from Philadelphia to VA Beach I averaged 31 mpgs which is pretty damn good for a full size 4x4 truck.

Chevy has (or had?) a hybrid Silverado 1500.  Didn't do well.  Supposedly Ford is coming out with one but it just doesn't seem to fit the full size pickup market well according to sales.  Perhaps the market will change but personally I doubt it.
