Not at the moment - I am drifting eastward, towards Vienna, then I plan to head north to Poland. But in a few weeks, I will return to CH, likely via Munich. I'll send you a PM well ahead of time, perhaps we can get together!

I rode through the Grossglockner High Alpine Road today. It is one of the most beautiful passes in the Alps, if not THE most beautiful. It's also the only pass I know of where there is a toll (about USD$ 30) to ride through it.
There were lots of signs warning drivers to watch out for marmots. I guess a marmot is the Austrian equivalent of an opossum - an animal that has not yet learned to stay off the road.
Going down the other side, I came across a tractor - of all things - pulling a house trailer. The traffic jam behind it extended all the way back to Yugoslavia.

Nice pics. Marmots are like ground squirrels. We have them out here in the mountains as well.
Called a groundhog in Canada.
Cuz we like bacon, I guess.

So did I...
Looks like every single bolt, including those holding the fairings shows some corrosion...
Some cosmetic work to take every single bit off, clean it with a toothbrush and chrome polish, put it back in... a task for a nice winter day in the hangar maybe...
STay safe!
