Left: Sophie from a motorcycle magazine shoot with Italian photographer Simone de Raineri about a year earlier with black hair. Now, (at right), she was a Redhead and had allowed her hair to grow much longer. Both looks with her beautiful face are stunning.
Sophie and I check out the Edelweiss tour bikes that were waiting for us at our tour's start
hotel the Occidental Aurelia in Rome.
I had reserved a BMW XR1000S for the tour, but I soon found it too tall and top heavy when seated on it, to get it off and on the sidestand when parking, so I switched to a lighter Ducati Multistrada 950, a back-up bike carried in the Edelweiss chase van, for the rest of the tour. It was just more enjoyable as well, to ride on the tight roads, especially for the two days it rained off and on in Sicily.
