For today is the mid-point of the winter season, and tomorrow we begin the slow slog toward longer days and warmer weather. And to everyone on the south side of the globe, sorry, your summer is half gone.
For a reminder of why we love this two-wheeled thing, here's a video from Schorschi6134, climbing the Penser Joch pass in northern Italy aboard his fourth-gen VFR750. Maybe it's just the video, but our pilot seems to be on a very fast pace on an often frighteningly narrow and unforgiving road. I wish I were right there behind him. Enjoy.
