Moderator DirtyDT Posted September 9, 2012 Moderator Posted September 9, 2012 Great pictures. Last time I went on the bike these were the tings I noticed the most: The road surfaces vary from very loose to great shellgrip Some of the bends are very scary and never decided was was worse - armaco or no armaco Signs for snow chains on tyres made me think How cold it got riding in the shadows and through tunnels It was noticable how the engine sound changed in thin air

pilninggas Posted September 10, 2012 Author Posted September 10, 2012 Great pic's Merv, How long were ya away for ? Ya always seem to get decent weather for your trips !!! I'd like to do that area some time soon. The weather do there always rocks. Tends to be dry in the day, with monumental thunderstorms in the late evening. Did rain in Belgium, switzerland and when I passed through the alsace. If you want to do an organised run to the alps next year - i'd be happy to plan it, and be the guide etc.
