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.
You feeling more at home on the Zed these days?

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.ninja wrote: Sat Dec 10, 2022 12:06 am I put a Nitron in the back, Skubster, and it transformed the beast.

In related news:
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...
