It's been a while.
I was wondering if Mom and Maha have mortgaged the house and bought KB from Spankme yet?
Just sitting in a campground in Northern Italy near the Austrian border reviewing gorpro footage of the day's riding.
Already had dinner - Most excellent Salami and cheese sandwiches. What else could you want? Today was a good dinner day, I was able to find gluten free bread.
It's way better than the Uncle Bens diet. Granted you do lose a lot of weight on that but gets a bit boring after the 20th time.
The weather is fine, but mild at this altitude - no idea what altitude, but it's high-ish. Been in the snow today and didn't come down that far.
A few years back I went around the north Island to ride every good road. I think I pretty much covered everything from north to south.
So here I am trying to cover off all of the famous mountain passes of Europe. Not doing to badly really. 14,000km so far.
on my 4th rear and second front. Pilot roads don't long here. The seal is grippy as all hell. All I could get today was a Metz Z8 for the rear. I expect 3,000 from that.
Anyway, I have been doing some thinking here.
I have a Yamaha TDM900 with Yamaha luggage that I need to do something with when I go.
Now I can store it easy enough in Germany and I can put anyone in touch with a guy who can point you to the best roads in the world and let you in on all the tricks.
So if you are interested in an easy way to see Europe, do your own thing and have blast on those roads you only dream of whilst watching Top Gear please let me know. I'm happy to do a good deal on the bike to make it easier on your wallet.
Oh and Italy is wicked awesome. The scenery is breath-taking, the roads are heaven on earth, the drivers respect speed - and get out of your way a fast as they can, the people are lovely and they eat real food.
