First chance I've had to login in ages - got back from 5 weeks in Europe and a week recovering from a chest infection. Been coughing so much my ribs hurt like a total bastard.
Saw plenty of scooters and big dual-purpose bikes (TransAlp, Veradero, etc) but bugger all sport bikes (Jap I4s not included). Anyone know where they all went?
As for the holiday, Mrs. Viking and I visited Athens, the Greek island of Hydra, Venice, Florence, Rome, Paris, London and Sheffield (to catch up with my relatives).
In summary, the weather was brilliant (apart from it being freezing cold and pissing down with rain in London), the food was fantastic (especially in Italy) and the history / scenery was breathtaking. Greece was very cheap, Paris was freaking expensive, and London as grey and miserable as I remember it.
As for the chest infection, Mrs. Viking picked it up in Florence and gave it to me in Paris. We've both been at home recovering this week, and hopefully the antibiotics are doing their thing. We both wish the damned thing would go away.
To celebrate our return, the bar is now open!!
