You're welcome to Wales... The SS21/D900 from Cuneo to Gap is the road for me - mountain pass then big open sweepies that mean an hour of hairpins then an hour of 90 - 130 mph - with the luggage on the 998 and the sun on my back!!! Or the N94, or the N85, or the D94, or or or or all the other fantastic roads in and around the Alps that make you realise what bikes were really made for. The scenery is bigger and the roads are emptier - the cops are scarce and the food and drink is excellent. If I couldn't ride my bike abroad at least once a year I don't think I'd bother having one... Giles |
