Re: A little trip to the Alps.
If you venture into Switzerland , be aware of the many speed traps on the passes. It is lao illegal to warn drivers that there are speed traps ...

Re: A little trip to the Alps.
That's a lovely bit of road man,I enjoyed that right to the end. The camera angle was great for watching too.

Re: A little trip to the Alps.
This section
Its the same as a section of road between Cortina and Arabba. Coming the other way would be heading to Arabba and i got the short straw to sit on the barrier to the right and take action shots of the other riders taking the corner. No one came back to ask if i wanted my picture taken

Re: A little trip to the Alps.
I put a Nitron in the back, Skubster, and it transformed the beast.
It's amazing in the mountains.....maybe even better than the Homda in the tight twisties.
I wouldn't want to ride it all the way there though, so I take it on a trailer.

Kawasaki sure know how to make shit rear shocks. I don't think I've ever owned any that weren't massively improved by replacing the shitty budget unit.

Original ELR shocks felt stiffer than actual solid struts.

For some reason we refer to the Santa Monice Mtns as "The Santa Monica Alps".. which is a bit daft as the San Gabriels to the North of LA are MUCH bigger & more Alpen...
