So, all the paperwork's gone in for the insurance claim. Apparently they can have the stolen bike "liquidated" (as it were...) in 20 days, then give us the dosh to buy a new one. That would mean that we should get some riding in by August. I'm not holding my breath, this being Italy and all, and everyone downing tools for the month of August, but it would be nice!

We saw a gorgeous "full options" brand new Adventure today for only a little more than we paid for Delilah... hmmm...

Meanwhile, I'm bored witless at having no trips to go on at the weekend, and can see a long summer ahead of the same.
