pilninggas Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Some great pictures - got massive respect for those guys. It's easy now, i assume back then at each border visas had to be arranged etc.

Moderator drewpy Posted October 9, 2011 Moderator Posted October 9, 2011 loved the story of how his father at 70 + years old, took a ducati to 160 kph (100 mph) and said it took a long time to get to the ton, when in fact it was recalibrated to MPH, so he was doing 160 mph on the Alton bypass!!
