It's an event for us anyway!

Well, it's not an event as such in that it's not a public thing, but it's an event for four of us...
Four of us from Australia are about to embark in a few weeks time on a 5 week singles riding trip in the UK, Italy and France. We'll have a week in the UK for two of us who have our bikes there, followed by a week in the Dolomites of Italy, then a week in north western Italy, and then a week in the French Alps.
Partners have been placated (or bought off - that was expensive) and steeds have been fettled and are as ready as they will ever be.
The line up is a 350 Silver Shotgun, a 175 SS, a 450 Mark 3 and 350 Mark 3. There is a 750 GT as a spare bike if need be.
The 175 SS fitted with with a 125 engine bored to 175...
My Stock 450 MK3 (fitted with the right Dellorto square slide since this pic)
The 350 MK3...
The Silver Shotgun and Spare GT 750...
Here's hoping the weather will be kind. I'll try to post some pics from over there. One of the guys has a helmet mounted video. I'm hoping we can get some footage of the singles overtaking some modern kit in the mountain switchbacks!
Regards,
Kev
