where did you TAKE your Tenere today?

[Strummer]

Passo del Bernina & Maloja
We left early to make a 700 km round trip to Switzerland

 

[Sierra1]

The Stars & Bars? In Italy? Don't see that every day.

It's just a kid thing...
I grew up watching the general lee episodes and that flag just got stuck in my mind...
Some people might find some kind of political meaning on it but that's just what I used to like as a kid....
A cool car with a cool flag on the roof and a good looking girl...
At least that's what I remember anyway lol

Thank you!
She would be nice even nowadays...

She's 70. Lost a little shine. But the car . . . . like fine wine.

Took my mate Emma up over Danseys Pass. Usually closed with snow this time of year. She's only been riding 9 months but did really well.

Great to see a new rider with the right gear getting out of the urban commute on their bike. Some great motorcycle roads in Otago.

Stunning place!
May I ask you where it is?

 

[XT12CH]

Just shortly, it's about second Saturday without raining this year so I took a spin to Sanetch Pass and Gr. St. Bernhard Pass.

Location: Southeast of Switzerland.

 

[Sierra1]

Is that a house or barn built up against that rock?

It's more like built under that rock, I took it from wrong angle.

Reminds me of Norway and their way to build houses just at base of negatively inclined rock, seen it around Trollstigen, road to Aalesund but more north too.
Looks pretty unsafe, like asking for trouble or something worse.
Not sure what is purpose of that building though.
Been there first time.

 

[Sierra1]

I ass-sume that the rock is used for storm mitigation/protection.

 

[Strummer]

I think I have an addiction to hairpins by now....
I have driven all night long 1100km to take my family to holiday down to south Italy but then I saw these on a map and I couldn't resist....
Hope you don't mind no S10 was involved lol

 

[Sierra1]

Now you're just being mean.

Here are some random pictures of late June and July rides in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. Also some rare photos of Tenereguy and Holligl.

My wife won't ride so it's up to me to develop a riding partner in the grand kids. I taught her to ride a bike then motorcycle. Olivia will eventually get her motorcycle license then we have the world to see. Of course time may change all of these plans but I I have given her a good head start.

My wife only rides her TW in the yard. My boys took no convincing to ride. The granddaughter has always been a future rider. And the grandson? I don't think there's any way to keep him from riding. He already a pedal bike that looks like a sport bike.
