So, I finally bought a motorbibike. After months of wheeling, dealing and putting up with dodgy and at times uninterested vendors, I have handed over some of my hard earned on a 2002 Aprilia RSV Mille R.. noice.
I spent a good part of last week riding through some of the many wonderful roads that are within a stone's throw away - the passes Mendolla, Tonale, Gavia, Stelvio - just to name a few. The bike was faultless though I think it will have to wait until I get to Vairano for a track day next month to see how it performs in its element.
I will post up some pics as soon as I take them and hopefully some action shots from the track day.
As I sit here typing yet another Thunderstorm is making its way down from the mountains - it really is a land of extremes here, much more than back home in Straya.
Finally, what a sad, sad thing it was to witness the passing of Shoya Tomizawa in the Moto2 race at Misano on the weekend. He seemed like such a happy-go-lucky yet humble young bloke and despite the tragedy I am glad that he didn't suffer and died doing the thing he loved most.
RIP Shoya
