I’ll spare you the “Buon giorno” and similar affectations of many who have just returned from Italy or wherever. 
I got back a few days ago from a motorcycle tour — on Moto Guzzis, of course
— of France’s Corsica and Italy’s Sardinia. I mentioned going some time back in another thread.
It likely surprises no one who knows me and is reading this to know that I have some pic and vid evidence of that trip.
Actually, all of the “riding” pix and vids were supplied by others, and primarily Retno & Tresno (Indonesian Guzzisti) and Paula, a Brazilian pillion. Thanks to them as, quite frankly, I saw very little scenery as I was just trying to stay alive!
First, a quick word for the TLDR types and anyone else who has interest in but too little time … or simply has the attention span of a gerbil.
Bear in mind that I started with about 1800(!) pix, and culled those to a number you’ll have to open the slideshow to see, but more than 85% fewer!
That said, if you have neither time nor inclination to see all the pix, just watch the three brief vids that start very early in the slideshow. They capture so much of the riding experience that was often a tunnel of terror for me at the time.
The pix link opens in “collage landscape,” thereby (in theory, at least) permitting you to see all pix at once, and to see all (untruncated) captions by hovering your cursor over individual pix.
Open the slideshow to see the larger pix and captions … (tho, maddeningly) Smugmug allows captions to fade after several unless you work at seeing them. Grrrrr.

And, here is a link to some vids that I did not include in the slideshow, but you might find interesting.
