Hopefully less than 100F this time.
Even if you guys are living half way around the world, try to make it - the memories are going to last many many years.

Lars,
are you riding the whole way? What is your route this time?
You know, as much as i would LOVE to make it..... my chances are looking Rather slim. But hey, who knows... they might change!
Quote from: Raux on January 04, 2012, 07:06:46 AM
Lars,
are you riding the whole way? What is your route this time?
Probably:
Ferry to Kiel (maybe stopping by Kämna near Bremen)
AutoZug Hamburg - Lörrach
Then Andermatt(Süsten- Furka- and GrimselPass) maybe Lake Como, Bormio + Stelvio, Merano,
two days Cortina --> Misano
Return by Cortina, Zell am See and München
...and again train + ferry
WDW and +/- five days before and after.

I'd blame HeMan.
He started the 'broken bike on epic ride syndrome'...
Hope they get it sorted...
How far are you from Misano?
3 hrs. 300 kms [bang]
Hopefully fixed today and you get to Misano by lunchtime tomorrow? Is that the plan?
They said maybe tody so may make it by dinner
if the generator is the problem. If its more than just that I'm screwed

Glad to hear you made it!
So do Duc dealers in Italy also have shipping delays from the factory? ;D
Eh. we won't say how they did it but they took care of me. 5 hrs and they skipped lunch.

I saw that one. Vicki mentioned that they gave it a "special" parking spot. I would have parked it in a dumpster.
Glad you got there in time [clap].
Saw a pic of Val and Nicky riding the 1199. I wonder if they complained of lack of frontend feel.
I scream, you scream, we ALL SCREAM FOR MORE PICTURES!!
[popcorn]
Saw a post about checa testing the wsbk spec 1199 for the first time ever as a surprise appearance... You guys catch that?
Yep. caught all that.
oh and last night Bayliss says. Finished. no more testing. he's going home
pics will have to wait.
Glad you got there mate [thumbsup]
Watching 848 Challenge with Betty and Jukie.

After having a major bike issue on the way down, Raux had his track debut on Misano (!!!) and looked quite comfortable. Sport/touring tires would not have lasted much more than this one 20 minutes pass though - serious tear in that kind of heat.
I challenged him to finish his meal AND use the restroom without removing his helmet. He won a free dinner [thumbsup]
