What does it matter if his wife came along or not? There was already a whole bunch of people, one more didn't make that much difference. The real interesting point is the contrast between solitary travel and team travel.Richard Hyetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11464599019305468596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8126586196708728082.post-64755518629418312442007-12-19T21:35:00.000+00:002007-12-19T21:35:00.000+00:00Loved watching this pair too.

It helps over the bumps (the bike and your ass). There was distinctly less Claudio this time as well(a shame, I kinda like the geeky guy) but a lot more of the "producer", the "gang" and of course, Eve. This kinda spoilt it some more.Andy Remichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02334695771400129917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8126586196708728082.post-9729288852138094282007-12-05T22:42:00.000+00:002007-12-05T22:42:00.000+00:00The bit that got me was seeing Claudio's GS being ...The bit that got me was seeing Claudio's GS being carted off on the back of a pick up. Two trips and two bikes ruined, he did it on longway round as well. Still these journies seem to have done for the BMW GS what the Italian Job did for the Mini and what James Bond did for the Aston.<BR/>Surely lighter bikes would have been better? the other thing that puzzled me was why they spent so much time riding standing up. Any ideas?Richard Hyetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11464599019305468596noreply@blogger.com
