Great picture, lovely view both near and far. How were your scoots running that high, mine was so boggy at Davos I don't think it could have gone any higher.

We had varying degrees of difficulty. The two S2s are both Mugello 186. They both stalled on the way up the mountain and had to roll back down to a pull in place and we removed the air filters, they managed to get over after that. Matt had to remove his air filter from his TS1, my Rapido 230 ws very boggy but managed without having to do anything.

Mine is also a Mugello 186 and I turned my mixture screw in on the PHBH 26 to about a quarter turn, but left the Ramair filter on. Even then, I really needed to open the throttle wide to get clean running. This, and a sore neck and butt were the reasons for not doing the rideout on Saturday. Or maybe it was the beer?

Anyway, awesome week away that I'll never forget.
