No I haven't, it's standard of the K03's.

 You've sooo right!!! ...and the loudest  

[V-Strom-Mark]

Nice!  You must have done quite a few kms with trips like those

Great pictures ! I've been up the 'Bonnette' - it was bloody freezing at the top !!! Great run down the other side to the Route Napoleon though

Nice!  You must have done quite a few kms with trips like those  

No, not so many... . I do such trips only once a year for 5 to 8 days. The remaining year I'm only "Schoenwetter-Fahrer" (sunshine driver ?). I don't like riding a bike in bad wheather conditions because I have no 100% water-proof raingear.

Here are some more pics of my annually trips to Italy, France and Switzerland:

Grand Canyon du Verdun (South France)


somwhere in the alps


Central Sardinia


Golfo Aranci (Northeast Sardinia), and my brother's Tiger 1050


Costa Verde (West Sardinia)



close to Alghero (North Sardinia)



If you are looking for THE perfect country for riding a motorbike, than go to Sardinia!!!!
Streets in perfect conditions and race track surface.
Bends over bends... (take a look at google-maps)
No traffic outside villages and towns - you see only about 50 cars a day outside urban areas.
Sunshine every day.  )  )
bautyful landscape  
The Police don't care about you (if you are a motorcyclist)    
Not more expensive than Austria - except petrol ( up to 1,60 EUR/Ltr.    )

What do you want more???

I don't like riding a bike in bad wheather conditions because I have no 100% water-proof raingear.

That's the worst excuse ever :-) Get a rain oversuit, gloves and waterproof boots or say you are concerned about your safety rather

Juvecu - no ecxuse...  :eusa-naughty:
I have already my 4th rain oversuit within 8 years! And all of these at a high price-level. No cheap junk stuff.
But I didn't stay dry longer than about one hour. That makes no fun... for me . So I avoid longer rain rides whenever I can. But I don't fear it! I only hate it.

73bm73, really just messing with you a bit, I don't think anyone here enjoys riding in the rain. Just yesterday I was thinking that so far this week I've commuted home in the rain 4 out of 5 days, hopefully today it won't rain on the way back again.

I like the emergency supplies   I think I need to stash some jaffa cakes under my seat

Have to agree about Sardinia, a fabulous place, spent a lot of time there in the 80s and 90s, great place to ride and the locals are great to party with.

Hi Berndi, you are so lucky being able to go to such beautiful places.

another update...

Sardinia again, where else? )  

[Itchy]

Stunning photos    so how long does it take to get there, I'm assuming you drive all the way?

[73bm73]

Yes, I drove all the way.
It takes about 10 hours (~850km) to Livorno habour


and about 10 hours on the ferry (overnight) to Golfo Aranci.


And early in the morning, we are there! It's perfect.

[Itchy]

20 hours!!!!!! chuffin eck
