HAHAHAHA!!!!!  LOL...  Say Karl, I wanna ride it.  Would you mind putting it in your suitcase & bringing it back?   ;D

Have a wonderful vacation Buddy...  Can't wait to hear all about it when you get back.

I thought I might have to dislocate some joints to fit on this thing  ;D
Forgot to bring the transfer cable for my camera but will see if my nephew will continue to be my camera man.

I haven`t been home in two years and spent most of my time in France and Italy last time I was here. So our plan is to spend most of our time with family during this trip. Would be nice to hook up with German Ducati enthusiasts [thumbsup]

From the trees in the video it looks like it's a bit windy there, too.

Hope you're having fun, Karl.  Bring back plenty of Swiss chocolate.   ;)

Scott,
We are 320 km from Ellweiler which could take anywhere from close to 3 hrs or a lot less if you choose to take a high speed trip on the Autobahn...remember...no speedlimit ;D

I was cruising at 135mph the other day (in a car for those naysayers of the 696)...
It's a smooth rush.
