My Leod Escape was all I was looking for and more...No regrets/no disappointments. The machines were immaculate, the vibe was great, the Dolomites are incredible, we navigated uncountable passes. The August weather was perfect, and there were hundreds of other like-minded riders in the region (for good reason, it is a stellar destination). I was free to ride the 1200GS like I stole it when the mood struck, and although the same was true when we got to the track, the Sachsenring proved more challenging than expected. It took the better part of the day to come to grips with it. I'll add that the track day bikes and provider were (also) beyond reproach, the M3 crew friendly and professional, and no worries about being American. They put the US providers to shame. I'll add that the Germans are also serious about their track time, provided transponders tell no lies, clean riding and pit camping taken to a whole new level. I suppose I should add that Cat is a Prince! He went the extra mile whenever necessary, well done and Thank you. I'll be back.
