My bike parked at the foot of a typically spectacular mountain peak.

|
Looking out over a valley. We rode down about 10 km with hairpin bends all the way - it was fantastic !
|
|
|
|
Me on top of a mountain pass - I look a bit funny with my chest protector on under my jacket. It was 27 degrees that day.

The view from a hotel we considered using for the tours.
|

|
|
This was a beautiful village we stayed in - very Austrian in nature, as it was once part of Austria.

Geoff and others after another ride over a high mountain pass. The coffee was good too !

Our hotel we leave from on the shores of beautiful Lake Como. We then ride into Switzerland.

A nice Moto Guzzi I saw in the bike shop at Mandello de Lario.

The Moto Guzzi Norge 850 - we can get you one for the trip.

Or you may prefer the MG Norge 1150

The MG Breva - you can hire that too!
