Three passes in one day - Germany into the Austrian Alps. Cold, cold, cold!Out on a side trip on the Istrian penninsula in Croatia, stopped for lunch. Steve was able to get a shot of me in the cabbagy Honda t-shirt he had made for me in Tropea.
Speaking of the cold, what does the 'well dressed' biker babe wear?
Underwear (of course!)
Vest (skinny strap shirt)
Silk long johns
Nylons, hiking socks
Wool turtleneck
Fleece
Leathers
Jumper
Waterproofs
Neckerchief
Gloves
Helmet
At this point, I look like the Michelan Woman or a small child in a snowsuit - arms stuck straight out at the sides, unable to bend arms. Oh well, sexy it is not. For the biker babe 'well dressed' does not mean up to the minute fashion, it means sufficient layers to keep WARM!
Note to self - don't take the jumper off until you've gone over the coldest bit of the pass or if you can see snow! (Steve secretly wishes he brought his silk underwear.)
Btw - tea in Austria is served in soup bowls!
