bike is ready

Bike ready, filters, fluids, pads and tyres all changed. Scotts damper fitted - looks nice and neat. Now to do a few miles, scrub in tyres and pads....

Improving The Route

Having studied more maps, internet sites and google earth, have tweaked route after Stelvio Pass. Assuming we survive after Davos, we'll go to Realp and do the Furka Pass as well, enroute to Chamonix (Mont Blanc).

The plan is to become fully qualified Masters of The Two Wheeled Universe of Mountain Passes and Switch-back hairpin bends.

Trial Riding Post Mortem

Well, three hours riding a Yam TY250 at the Vee near Lismore - bloomin great fun, managed to fall off a couple of times, but bike so small and easy to handle, easily recovered mostly.

Mind you, learnt that too steep an embankment climb and the bike flips over and as great as it is as getting over and through anything, it slips back down when climbing through a bog!

Excellent practice for balance and handling skills, takes some getting used to standing up all the time and also had to make myself just not touch the clutch! bike very capable and able to handle nearly anything!

Off road trail riding? highly recommended!
