The Italian Scallion
I've just returned from a 7-day tour of the Pyrenees. Unlike last year, we've stayed mostly on the Spanish side this time and only strayed into France for just a few miles. We've found that mountain roads in France are in a bad state of repair and gasoline is 40% more expensive than in Spain... :blink:
Our trip started and ended in Barcelona (which we reached by car-ferry from Italy) and I split the video in 2 halves for YouTube purposes. In its entirety it's 14 minutes long.
The fisrt half's highlight is a spirited dogfight between 2 FJRs on a wonderful, deserted mountain road heading for the high country. Road's pretty narrow but the surface was great and, lacking any traffic, we could take a few liberties. Max speed here was maybe 70 mph. Don't trust your eyes, the wide angle lens makes it look like we're redlining our rides We're not... As a soundtrack for this section I've gone back to using a favorite of mine, Hevia's haunting bagpipe in "Busindre Reel". I thought it went well with the endless sequence of curves...
Enjoy... B)
