90 curves in six minutes
If you are tired of riding straight ahead, you might enjoy watching six minutes of my ride yesterday. I rode in Piemonte (Piedmont?), Italy. The film shows going uphill from Spigno Monferrato towards Brallo. The 06:30 film features no less than 90 curves. When riding a fully loaded 1150 GS, taking a curve every few seconds requires some work. In any case, enjoy. [TaSK]

The whole time I was watching that I imagined driving it in a 1989 Chevy S10 with the 2.5l 4banger, manual transmission, no power steering, and a 13" Grant GT steering wheel.
I think I've discovered what hell is. |

Wow, and you had the road to yourself! I'm envious.
