I used to walk past the Gilera dealership in Turgi on Sunday
afternoons in 1989/90 on the way home from PSI, after taking a PTT bus to
Brugg and an SBB train from there, before crossing the Aare and facing the
steep climb up to Untersiggenthal[1]. ISTR that was about the price in CHF
then.
[1] After six months or so I was able to do the climb[2] without stopping
for breath.
