There in the Christian Preining ferries Thornton around the course at Italian Dolomites the hairpins were so tight you could see the way ahead in your Bolzano Safety Center. Thornton is leaning with the bike, rearview mirrors. Or you could have, if they were flat hairpins. But they weren’t. but Preining is counterbalancing.

The point is—and this is really the idea behind the Edelweiss school of Alpine rock—after riding through dozens of uphill right-hand hairpin turns, I feel differently about myself as a motorcyclist.

  • The Divided City - Berlin 1965-67
    THE DIVIDED CITY - BERLIN 1965-67 The Battalion (Bn) went off to Berlin in September 1965, leaving me behind to complete the Regimental Signal Officers’ Course in Hythe. Their destination was Brooke Barracks, Spandau, where they had already been stationed in the mid-fifties. The whole Bn went in a standard move taking families, children and pets with them. In those days, few soldiers had cars and only some officers, so most of them went by air, and others by ferry and train. I arrived in Berlin in late November, to a cold and icy city. As my first time stationed in Germany, in its old capital, it was going to be quite a special experience. I knew about ‘The Wall’ and the divided nation, and the Four Power Agreement, and that it was a very old, very grand, very proud capital city. I spoke no German at that time, and had a jaundiced view about Berlin, acquired from my Mother who came from Hamburg. However, I realised it would be useful to know some German phrases, so she taught me enough to get going. One gem I remember especially is not exactly vital but is amusing: ‘Ich muss mal auf clo gehen!’ which means ‘I must go to the loo’! On arrival at Tempelhof Airport in the centre of Berlin, from Gatwick, I was most impressed with the modern art-nouveau design. The airport was very clean and spacious. There seemed to be many cleaners about to keep the place going. Tempelhof Airport was very avant-garde and shiny.
