Ride report - Calimero vs Forghorn


Last Sunday two wet chickens fell from their beds around 6 in the morning. Forghorn was influenced by Calimero as it may be too challenging meeting in Sierre before 8am!

The real reason beyond that is both of us were afraid of the wet conditions announced and it was already raining at 7am on the motorway.

Once arriving in the "coeur du Vallais" the weather was with us, conditions were just perfect!

Despite his charisma Forghorn was again influenced by the adventurer Calimero to modify the usual "Brazilian" trail, while making a detour to Pas de Lovegnol, no big surprise it is always better to discover new trails.

On the track I must admit; this time Forghorn converted his 29-zimmer frame to a missile and flew on the trail many time faster than the "trotinette" that was filming him behind. This exces of speed was rewarded by a nice crash, a broken chain and certainly a damaged rear hanger. For Calimero nothing could hurt his 18kg armor bike except the excess of dust collected which would probably increase his global weight.

Back on the valley after such a great effort, it was the time for a fondue and fendant :-)

While coming back home Forghorn, noticed something strange in the honda jazz, there is no space, no integrated massage, no powerful acceleration, only hamster power and hopefully AC and adjustable seats...  so boring compared to his BMW which has repetitive failures... then he finally fell asleep...

The morality is: the cheaper is your car the better chance you have to get an executive driver!
