when a serious landslide....

causes one of the best roads in the country to be completely closed and its right on my door step you know i'm gonna get in somehow....
no cars, no tourists, no nothing except the leaves on the road, a setting sun, and a ducati at 6000 rpm. once in a lifetime ...... almost.

The most gorgeous road race style bike of the period, possibly ever. Even though I've had 3 pre '74 Bonnies, it was always the thing I loved listening to and looking at more than any other . . . great stuff Mr Machine, long may you enjoy her delights.

So jealous - I grew up not far from the top of that hill (My parents owned, what was then, the BP on the corner of Lascelles St for a few years). I can imagine how much fun you had. I'm about 3 hours away now, but really tempting to just go for a ride...
