I’d been up there the year before but this time there was
evidence of the heavy show they’d had during the winter.
The pass had only just opened 5 weeks before we arrived.

Down the other side into Italy … being a Sunday it was
busy. Shed loads of bikes and Sunday trippers but by the
time we came across the Passo Leonardo it was clear.
A sensational ride. Smiles all round by the time we got
to the bottom. Time for fuel and eats.
A tight squeeze on some of the hairpins:

Doubled up at the automatic fuel station (10EU in each
bike) and then across the road for food. Despite there
being a Harley there and other customers, the lovely
lady waitress said she only had bread and I think only
3 slices at that.
So lets move on……lets all get on our bikes and get them
off their sides !!! Thanks to everyone (again) for
rushing over to help…..bar stewards
Now it was busy on the way down the E66 heading
towards and into Austria again. Lots of ‘manoeuvres’
to make up some time but of course in doing so we
became very fragmented. Think everyone, ‘cept for
Rivendell who went via Cortina but had a great
road too, found the road from Kartitsch to Kotschach
(the B111) a fantastic road. It got to a point where
I was laughing…….not a brilliant surface for much
of it but the way it tossed you around was great.
Time was getting on so a jump on to the motorway
was needed….but of course it couldn’t have been
such a simple ‘jump on to the motorway’.
Charlie had stolen Chubs toll ticket which meant
that because the toll booth (automatic) thought
there was only one bike by the machine it didn’t
issue another ticket. I’m behind Chubs and there’s
half a dozen irate Italian drivers behind me. No one
around….only one thing for it we had to get the
drivers to back up … oh, it was a laugh. We finally
get into a good lane to find more car drivers pilling
into the lane that’s still buggered. We didn’t stop
to help them out !! Someone else had problems with
toll booths………..it’ll come to me later !!!!!
My planned detour into Slovenia was just
a trip too far. Saved for another time. Campsite in
Trieste was OK….rocky ground but cold beer and
good pizza…..that’ll always work. TT Jim, Casper and
Eddie were having second thoughts about moving
all the way to Split but after some beer, bit of reasoning
(you’re fecking comin’) they never regretted the
trip further south. It had just been a long day.
