Default January 9 - 2011 "Torrente Olivo Lake and Puppet Dancers" Sicily




Hello guys



wonderfully beautiful day. Sunshine and temperatures between 18 and 22°. Roads and spectacular scenery, especially from Barrafranca to Piazza Armerina SP12 till Lake Torrente Olivo.. wonderful. Then stop in Piazza Armerina for a "mega eaten meat" the restaurant "by Enzo" ... without words (pictures speak ...) and then end up visiting the Ronza Park to admire the famous "Puppet Dancers" the incredible .. rock formations thousands of years.350 km very great ! While waiting for the report .. check out the photos

I want your weather!

This morning the temps were 38º ~ 42º F (4º ~ 6º C). Heated gear is good!

Mark, your bike is way too clean ... do you ever go riding?

We did a 190km roundtrip yesterday - it was cold up on Skyline, but okay most of the rest.

The last 3-4 months I've spent more time on the R69S than the GS. I've been catching up for the 4 months the R69S was down while I was digging into the engine. Since the 60 watt 6-V generator on the R69S isn't going to power my heated gear I'm back on the GS for the cold weather.

Both bikes look clean at first glance, yet neither has been washed in a long, long, time. What I do is wipe them down with a damp rag once in a while.

Back to the original subject... those sausage look fantastic! The white GS looks pretty good, too.
