... via the Adriatic coast, then back via ferry to Italy.
Delayed my trip a week coz of the miserable weather here and Central Europe, but it looks likes there's a small window tomorrow.
Sorry, before you get too excited, 'fraid I'm only taking the new KTM 1290 SA-S, not the
. Been busy this aftee applying the 3M protective transfers, ready for the 5k + mile trip. Probably won't be able to give the running commentary as I have in the past, but will write a travelogue on my return. You will remember from my last escapades that I have wasted much time in the late afternoons and evenings going from one small hotel/ B&B to another 'till I find one I like/ within my meagre budget. Well, this time I intend to do more online research in the evenings, and book ahead one night.
I am also travelling light- don't even have side panniers, just waterproof roll bags on pillion seat. No top box full of camera and computer equipment, just a compact and an Asus tinker board ( like a raspberry pi ). Was on the verge of getting a Sena Prism tube helmet camera to record the best of the Alpine roads, but Amazon just sold out as I made up my mind. Sorry, have not got pic of the loaded bike to post now, but will try to upload one within next few days.
Going to re-visit some of my favourite routes that I did previously on the GS, to compare and contrast with the KTM, but there will be much that is new to me, like the Balkan countries, Greece and Southern Italy.
Bye for now,
Chris
