So, I have gotten a rental GS to take to Italy next week. I will be leaving a few days later and making more of a dash to Milan. Probably now not doing any of the mountain passes I wanted to do on the way there since I am not too keen on putting a rental bike offroad, doing that not on my own bike doesn’t have the same appeal.
Am very miffed with it, and am considering buying a second bike in the coming months or year. Would have gotten one now in a hurry, but there’s no way I would have the paperwork done in time for the trip.
