I learned this term when trying to order a Quat D Exbox exhaust and a Bitubo Steering Damper for my Monster 1100. Both were ordered over 4 weeks ago and neither has shown up. What is funny is that they were both ordered from two different vendors. I have since called the U.S. distributor for Quat D and was told the Italians were molto lento. So, just know the vendors aren't totally to blame. I am a patient guy, but apparently not as patient as an Italian craftsman is.

molto lento means very slow.

I was thinking that, Italian shares some linguistic similarities with Español.

Spent most of my summer there last year, they don't tend to rush often and customs doesn't help by slowing down the works either. I bought ten bottles of wine and sent them back to the states which were sent over a month in advanced before I left Italy and they still didn't get delivered till three weeks after I got home. Molto rosso vino is a good term to know as well as basta or dov'ie si il toilette/bano  [laugh]
