Around Emilia-Romagna there has been around 14 deaths and tens of thousands displaced due to the severe flooding that has taken place.

Nibelungen, Sorry for the situation you and your fellow country folk have found themselves in. In the wider world some know of the area because of the F1 GP held in Imola.

yeah right... one of my first long ride on a bike at night was to go at 14 y.o. to dance in a summer evening on the track... they deployed a outdoor disco in the '80s... located at the "acque minerali" curve... gorgeous

I rode it. For 500 miles. (Easy Chris; I know I'm not in your league!) Today, I plan to do that again.

Had a new rear tyre fitted - Avon Spirit ST and then put 100 miles on it riding back from the tyre fitters and then doing a Thursday night chip run. So now it is nicely scrubbed in.

I had an issue with my “Time Sergei repair 9n the 2000. Parts came in and repairs made. After a good talk with Dan at Hammer I now have a plan in place to keep an eye on her until she proves herself reliable. Rode over to my sons tonight. Baby steps, alls good so far!

Had been on holiday with the sporty.













Thuringian then Saxony Ore Mountains and next to the Czech Giant Mountains and back over the Bavarian upper palantinate.
Mostly rural or other small roads.

Two nice bikes, beautiful countryside and nice weather; it sounds like a great way to spend some time.

Received shipment of this 2x2 Cycles bicycle carrier. Mounted it and took it for a shakedown run. It's pretty slick. You wouldn't really know it's back there.
