Summer seems so long away, but here is wot we did

Finally got around to writing it up, hope it doesn't bore to many of you

Yeah, Swiss sign posting, a bit special innit. Nice writeup, did you do
one for the Norway trip? I've oft wanted to do the midnight sun bit.

 

Cool.

That's a neat bridge, I watch a bit on discovery about them finishing
the last section.

 

Coo.

Certainly looks like the same one.

 

Heh heh get a load of that exhaust!

 

Nice write-up. In August I also passed through Merano, and past Lana on
my way up to the Mendel pass (west of Bolzano, very nize views of the
valley). Out of Merano I was really struggling to find the right road; I
never saw any Italian signposts with road numbers on them. The same
again when I was about to leave Cortina. In my opinion, this was much
worse than Swiss signposting.

 

It does look a bit Nova-boy, but it's actually a proper racing exhaust.

The Tuesday after we got back, discovery had the full bridge making
program on

 

I found that it was easier to follow the names of places though, the Swiss
ones would list towns 5 days away !

 

Yes

 

Nice.

Re the Ducati speedo cable breaking - it's easily done if, when
removing/replacing the front wheel, you don't set the speedo drive so
that the cable has a clear straight run out of it. It's very easy to put
a kink in it.

 

Not me guv'nor, wouldn't dirty my hands

If it was tame mechanic it survived 3000 miles before it went , only 10ukp
for a new one any way.
