    Absolutely gorgeous! The road, the villages, the river and snow capped rugged mountains all round and a lovely, mostly gently winding road that hasn't got too much traffic on it. Mayte! You're living the life right now. And even the bike's making happy purring sounds, I'd easily believe that was a new bike from the sounds your mike was picking up there. Can it ever get better than that? No way that I know of.

      @@barebonesmc Yeah, not too bad here. I'm riding down the coast for a bit of whale spotting and lunch at my favorite chish and fips shop so, partly living the dream lol.
      I really love that rugged, mountainous type country with so much lush greenery and where you were there looks amazing. Enjoy the rest of your trip on old reliable. You make me feel stupid for ever trading mine every time I see or hear one. I still reckon those V twins do a different, very pleasant feel that's unlike any other twin, despite a lot sounding similar, they just feel different, in a good way.
