Yes you read that right,a falling cow almost took Susan and I out as we were on a straight section of road doing about 60 mph. From the right I see something sliding down a steep hillside and realize its a f--g cow on its knees then it starts to roll,what do I do? go left and hope it it does not regain footing or head right for it if its does. I chose left and went around it. The cow was not going anywhere,just laid there blocking my lane,the trike that was behind me just stopped in time. No pics,kept going for awhile until I had to take a break to recoupe from one of the worst scares I have had,mainly because I had Susan on the back and a cliff on the left if we went down we were really going to go down along way.Had a great time! Here are a couple of teaser pics till later. Now be kind we are both 50 years old unlike most of you :)
Below is Susan and I at hotel # two. I think the Italian hotel owner liked Susan

that road is awsome, if you were giong down you could just look left or right to see if any cars were coming and if not you could really lay it down and use up the whole road..

Those are the wide ones! Some were no wider than a golf cart road with just inches to spare from the oncoming traffic,you will see when I post the other 300 pics. I rented a BMW 1150RS rode the piss out of it. It only had 1k on it,now well broken in. :) I ride a 954 and a 1000xx at home so it was somewhat underpowered. Just about lost it the first day,I did not check the side wear on the tires,the first time I bent it over I lost the both the front and the back end but saved it :o
