They wanted top doller for each and every scooter there.They've wised up to the value(especially the English interest, that i had been forewarned about)Some LI 150'S were €4500,absolutely mad money considering they are falling off a cliff here.
The colours are the first thing that attracted me to this little chap,then start really looking at it.The forced induction catches the eye,all one seat cowl,mudguard, front suspension.Bet it was entertaining to ride.
I think they raced in that colour scheme?
The little 50 cc races were something else. 20 bikes into the corner; the rider in 20th emerged first. Happy days.
Thanks for rekindling happy memories.
Yesterday was a rather warm day at Misano for the MotoGP
Disabled sticker of no use here,this was the closest I could get to stand D,good 10 minutes walk away,couple of other brit bikes in attendance.
Fancied a Honda T Shirt.
Robbing bastards, €70 for a T shirt.By far the most expensive gear I saw of the stalls.
I was roasting sat in the stand(bloody small seats aswell
)So ventured under the stand.
Much cooler with a breeze and a better view(ish)Couple of people had the same idea.
Made meself a seat.
Then a lot more people had the same idea

This lot turned up for a dance,I have no idea.

Back to the hotel,bar next door was having a wedding on the beach,I gor asked to move to the cheap seatsWere me an me helmet decided on a selfie, only realising at this point,the helmet has a bit of a face on it.

Don't know how this got dropped to the bottom,but some stunt man taking photos of a group of wannabes
Today is a 5 hour ride to Rovereto,just north of Lake Garda.

Yesterday was a relaxed day riding through some beautiful Italian countryside, om my way to Rovereto.
Massive open cast mining for marble.
Castle in the middle of nowhere.
The roads were virtually empty,I'm so glad I knocked the tolls on the head.
Ice cream parlour in the middle of nowhere, it was delicious.
Bit peckish when I got to thehotel so broke out the emergency ration pack
Then down for a beer and some free nibbles, perfect.
So much better than the steak I had earlier in the trip
This one should have been hire,can't be asked to redo it

Made it up Stelvio(after a nav detour up some goat track)
Once again through almost 100 miles of beautiful villages/countryside, far,far nicer than my entry point into Italy.
View from me hotel window.
Some Polish dubs had made the climb,must have been a fair job getting them up here.
Thats the hotel to the right.
I'm not gonna give it the biggun, at some points I was clenching, thought was on the floor a couple of times.So easily done,especially when whatever is coming round the hairpin had taken a bloody great wide berth(why take a bloody great motorhome up there)
Goulash soup for starter.
Cracking sunset.
Mushroom tagliatelle for the main course.No photo of the struddle
Well thats it for Italy, down the other side for lake Konstanz(Bodensee)tomorrow.
Had a great time,met some truly nice people and visited more places than I thought I would.I'll come back,just not when it's so warm.Italy,for me has been a crackin trip.
Now I have 11 days to meander back to Calais, couple of stops lined up(Baden-Baden) then it will be suck it and see.
