Ha! That looks like it should be effortless to wheelie now

I do love a thread highjack

A couple of weeks around France

I cannot find a pic of when I also took the 750 to Germany camping. It was essentially that, but with panniers too

Going down to Barcelona to watch MotoGP

Pffft..... DW knows the drill.... lovely setup!

As for you Tucola.... it's the ducatis we are going with that means the proper bike has to take the rest of the kit..... like camping equipment

I kind of prefer the look!

Plenty of room for illegals when you get stopped and raped by traffickers on your way home...

Got back off holiday yesterday morning. Fantastic trip and managed to ride the whole of the Route from Stelvio to Davos which is incredible. We also did a few passes on our route from Mullhouse into Switzerland (I can find the name of the passes if anyone is interested) which were almost like a purpose built racetrack - very very good fun. I was surprised that my favourite road was the D500 through the Black Forest though, felt right at home on it and had an awesome day.

Unfortunately only 3 of the 4 bikes came home. Our mate on the 1298 Panagale threw himself and bike into the scenery on the last day with about 5 more miles of twisties to go. Gutted for him and the bike is a bit of a mess. Other than wearing his finger down to the bone he is pretty much ok.
