| Smaller 'road' on the way from Bolgna to Sardinia. | | On the coast road of Sardegna. | | 2010, before the Giro, I flew into Sardegna where I had left the 'fant with a friend, Diego. I swapped belts just to be sure. |

| Loaded up for the trip; I had the saddlebags together as my checked luggage; worked fine. | | I spent one day riding up the island of Sardegna to the ferry port, slept on the ferry then continued to Bologna next day. | | We had hoped to license the ex UK bike in Italy but the paperwork was horrendous. I ended up selling it to Bjarne from Denmark. He met me in Bologna and rode safely home. |

| Off the Elefant, onto the 175 Turismo.. the Giro started in Cannes, so I rode the 2 days there, did the event (5 days) then back to Bologna.. but that's aother story ;-) | | | | |
