It's hot....

This morning as I was getting the bike ready to set off, the hotel owner, Oscar, who had kindly washed my bike yesterday turned up on his Suzuki GSX 1400 to show it to me and wish me well. Last night I received a request for a picture of Oscar from Chris so just for you Chris, here he is:



I set off for Portofino with the intention of staying there but it wasn't that far away and once I'd had a look round I thought I may as well start heading for Bologna.  I have to be there on Thursday as I have booked to go around the Ducati museum and factory.  I thought that if I could change the appointment to tomorrow I could head to Slovenia early which would ultimately give me longer in Croatia.  I'm not sure it was a great idea as it's been really hot today and it has taken me about six hours in total to get to where I am now; about 30 km from Bologna.  That's two days of long rides in a row and I'm pretty tired.  If I can't change my appointment I think I'll just chill tomorrow and have a look around Bologna.

Some of the roads were really good again today although the motorways are horrible.  Basically the one that runs along the coast is just a series of tunnels linked by high bridges.  My tinted visor was up and down more than a tart's knickers!!

Well that's it today,  I've taken a couple of photos of the scenery to show you.  I hope you like them.

Cheers Robert

  1. Hi Roberto, It is all very blue, the sea, the sky, the BIKES! Oscar looks pretty cool on his bike. Hope he checks out your blog. You must be very hot and tired so a chill out day is needed and perhaps a gelato or two. Nick is sticking with the hot chocolate :-) Ride safe and keep up the news. Chris xx

  3. It is really a nice experience to run around different places with your bike, and experience the breeze while riding it, I have read a lot of articles about their experiences and I also want to share mine, buy my Suzuki GSX1400
