Ho impiegato almeno 3 giri per arrivare a fondo corsa con il gas, non ricordavo andassero così forte quelle piccole 800!!!
Ora non dirò mai più che le mille sì, che erano moto! Togliete l’elettronica alle 800 e torneranno anche i traversi!!!
Per non parlare di quanto ho impiegato a mettere il ginocchio a terra!!!
I'm having difficulty with this phrase from a moto GPs diary! It's traversi that's bothering me in this sentence...get rid of the electronics from the 800s and they turn back into...Can anyone help me with the meaning of traversi in this context? Thank you
