woolly Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | RE: OT - Sahara Trip ... suprisingly enough yes (my BM has nearly every possible gizzmo (it's like a 2-wheel 7-Series - central locking, electric windows/seats, cruise control, reverse gear, 8 speaker surround sound cd/radio/mp3 system etc. etc.), but it does not have floats!!) Ferry from Portsmouth- Bilbao, down through Spain/Portugal then ferry from Algeciras to Cueta (a Spanish 'Gibralter' like enclave in Morocco). Edited by woolly 4/28/2006 9:45 AM | ||

I honestly would have thought that your BM would have been able to convert into a light-weight plane at the press of a button But sounds like a great journey to get there So where are you planning to hit in Russia??? | ||

Hi Paulo, good to see you over here (?) ... I've still got my Ducati (1999 ST2), but, much as I love riding it, I don't dare take it out of the country ... would have been superb in Piedmont, last September, but the Duke is just not reliable enough( ...toooooo many Jap. parts!!!). | ||

wimbledon_SLK Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | RE: OT - Sahara Trip I have never owned a Ducati... I have had all the japanese bikes.. suzuki, Kava ZZR, and about 5 Hondas so far. Unfortunately now I use my bike only when I go to italy which is once or twice a year.... A convertible like the SLK is a good compromise in the UK where the weather is not as mild as it is in Italy. Mind you , I used to use my bikes in the snow when I was living in the north of Italy.... I guess I was younger..... Ciao P | ||
