Like everybody else else - just returned from our 3000+ mile 2 weeker
The Good
Garmisch
The company of other GS'ers
The sunny days
The roads and passes
Touratech factory
The food (must diet now)
Hotel Cristallo and the Italian Dolomites
Beating the GPS users with local knowledge and maps (I'll concede a dead heat with Judge on the Stelvio rideout)
Meeting a Dakar racer, who owned the hotel on the last night
The bends
The bike, which went like a dream
McFlurry turning into a 'riding god' on the last day to just catch the Zeebrugge ferry
Riding with Andy Malton again and not being too far behind his Super moto, in the Dolomites
Some of the Italian ladeees
The Bad
The crashes (luckily everybody involved were ok)
My very close shave (with spilt diesel, a T junction, a trunk road and black Merc estate)
The Rain
Long motorway stints, on last 2 days
Disappointment with the Stella (after hearing about it for last 15 yrs), I thought it was of a let down
A wobbly front Tourance
A very dirty GSA (which needs some TLC)
Watching some of the GPS pilots.............getting completely and utterly lost!!
The Ugly
Uncle Albert after a night out @ Garmisch Biker Party and waking me up @ 4am, to be let in (hope you're fully recovered)
Mrs Bumble
Great to meet some of you and get to know you all better, the group really gelled.
Here's some of my fav pics.........
All you need in life................a top bike and scenery like this!
On the Stifeljoch Pass in Italy
Another on the Stifeljoch...............sheer perfection - sun, scenery and a GSA
The view from the top of the Stifeljoch.............it's some pass
Top of the Valparola Pass in Italian Dolomites, one of my all time favourite passes
Fresh snow on the Pordoi Pass, in the Dolomites, as we left for Switzerland
