[Ash]

fantastic ride report

For the photos on the move, how did you take those? Take a camera out if your pocket? Or have something mounted on the bike?

.................simples

love it, looks like an old GPS mount of some sorts or maybe a clampable tripod thing.

[Ash]

Perfect! Thanks

Always glad to help.
PS
i use the cord as added security, to save keep taking it off at fuel stations etc
and to save damage should i drop it

and to save damage <s>should</s> when i drop it

No charge to you Ash dear boy.

 

[Ash]

No charge to you Ash dear boy.

Umbrail pass has a long stretch of road which is unsurfaced as i found out.
BMW R GS1150 , fully loaded , bad arms/hands and a gravel track on the side of a high mountain are not my idea of heaven . kinell

See, didn't we tell ya the boreen training would be useful sometime

Ash, fair play You're an inspiration - there's guys half your age & sound of body who wouldn't have got through all that in a week

 

[swissrob]

looks like you did nearly exactly the same route we just finished on the swiss alps tour - but u had far better weather.

 

[Buz]

Excellent RR Ash, hat off to ya mate, wish i had th b@lls to get up and go like that

 

[diplomaticdanny]

Respect
