St Bees,
This one is interesting. There is more than one Bega.
You're going for it Ralph. I need to catch up. It\s interesting that the mileage is so good.
Well done.

Just done the borders yesterday, great weather and what wonderful roads, try popping into Selkirk for a coffee and looking up Mungo Park and William Wallace all within 200 yards of each other.
We have been using the Versys and I have been using the Blade when alone. The Corsaro is being Italian at the moment and due to a lack of attention is being obstinate. Well it seems that way.
We are both hooked on the Rally at the moment, you meet the nicest people. (now where have I heard that before?)
Amazing MPG you are getting. By the way yesterday was 232 miles, just for 2 "knock off's".

did not see the fort due to low cloud and rain, there was a guy up there on a big Suzuki that stopped while we were looking at the way point, he looked
a little shell shocked, they are fearsome roads not for the faint hearted, the Strada handled it well, due to low cloud and rain speeds were low 1st and 2nd
gear at times some of the hills and hairpins are very rough and the rear will spin, it's surprising how hard it pulls on your arms and puts weight on your wrists
as you go up and down the passes.
