Mountains innit. -1 it was. Now just south of Stuttgart and 20 degrees Heated vest packed away, heated grips off.
Not a lot to report. Did the Black Forest B500 yesterday Mile munching on the French autoroutes today and back in the UK tomorrow.
Hi, just wondering how the bike is performing? Real world riding? Seat height I know you have the lower seat is it now a relatively low? Are you short legged etc? Just wondering as I really like the looks of this bike but not been anywhere near one. Ta
I've also just come back from bologna yours pics bring back some good memories!! Did you visit the pagani factory whilst you were over near ferrari? The pagani museum and factory, all be it small, was another level all together. I also did the lamborghini factory As well as both ferrari museums hope your having a nice time. Here's a few pics of the paganis;-)
Carl, you're shorter than me. You haven't got a chance of fitting one, even if it was on the lowest setting. Not unless you carried a milk crate with you everywhere to stand on. Or it was laid on it's side
Likewise. Give us all a real world review please when you’re back. (With pictures if you want ) I’m interested in these bikes too. Ps. I’m not short - 187cm
Damn. And I thought I was tall. For my whole life I’ve been under a misapprehension. I’ve been deluding myself. I need counselling
No, the Ferrari museum was an afterthought on the day. Because we were travelling 90 miles from Venice to go to Ducati, we took Ferrari in whilst there. I couldn’t have fitted any more in on the day.
Ahhh ok, I guess they are not suitable then, was thinking with been narrow and a short seat option it was a possibility....maybe compost in me wellies for 6 months might help
Got back home at 6pm after riding from Arras, through the tunnel and up to Newcastle in one shot. I'll have a trawl through pics and try to fulfill requests over the next few days.
Going back next year, but trying to take in the Pyrenees too. Might chuck it up on the forum for those who are interested.
Glad you enjoyed it - looks like a good trip. If going to Pyrennes try the Brittany ferry to Santander or Bilbao - the Picos have some fab riding roads.
Getting jealous again I might have to have a serious conversation with SWMBO but I know she'll suggest we take the car
A few years ago myself and a few mates did the best of both - the girls flew to Geneva- train to Lausanne and we drove down through Belgium, France and meet them in Lausanne before heading overthe Alps to Italy - fantastic holiday
Yeah, thinking of getting the ferry to Bilbao and taking in the Pyrenees and Alps. More of a one way trip with maybe getting a ferry directly back home from Zeebrugge or Europort as the 1st 2 days and last 2 days of this trip involved a lot of motorways to get to the good stuff and back home. Hopefully get to do the Gross Glockner as we got snowed off this year. The chance you take in September I suppose, but Italy was roasting and we never saw a drop of rain in 2 weeks. Great trip overall though, with some great riding and even better people.
