[EXTERNAL] Re: Saying bye to summer..

Tue Sep 10 11:51:45 PDT 2019

Wife and I on circle tour from Venezia on RedGpz. Rovinj, Plitvice Lakes, Dugi Rat, Dubrovnik, Bari, Alberobello, Amalfi, Pompeii, Rome, Rimini MotoGP. Moto running great, no snow, Croatian roads fun very good.
Amalfi coast max 50kph avg speed, Pompeii-Rome autostrada 130-140 kph.
Added Wilbers fork springs and rear shock, max rates for two up loaded touring. Better than clapped out stock 23 yr old suspension.
Love to hear all your stories, input.
Met many BMW riders waiting for Dubrovnik-Bari ferry. Also one young SKorean on Honda SuperCub doing East Russia-Madrid transcontinental ride solo.
Charles, will there be one more Fandango in Durango?
