Great Rides - Asiago Plateau, Italy

[@FranSpong]

I throughly enjoyed watching this. My paternal grandfather was also in this area in late 1917-1919 , he was in the RGA, X1V Corps. He stayed in the Army after the war and was billeted in Sirmione on lake Garda. He helped with the clearing up

I hope to visit Asiago plateau in the near future as a pilgrimage. One of my maternal Great Grandfathers, James Bannister served there with 1/7th Worcestershire Regiment. He was awarded the Military Medal as a stretcher bearer for carrying a wounded man to safety, under heavy shell fire and over uneven terrain. It is a forgotten front unfortunately.

Thank you for watching and sharing this information. I will be going back there in May to find where the 1/5th Warwick's trenches were.

looked like a great ride and the scenery is amazing. Are you still riding the honda ctx1300 and still liking it? I am considering one to replace my 26 year old Royal Star.

Thank you for watching. I changed the CTX for a BMW K1600 4 years ago. Incidentally, I was in Ireland two weeks ago and met the current owner of the CTX. The CTX was a good bike, I just wanted something for long range touring.

I was just coming in here to check if you still had the CTX1300! That K1600 is amazing too!
