    Hello friends

    after we spend the weekend at the MRT (Motorrad-Reise-Treffen) in Gieboldehausen, we drove to Neu-Isenburg (near Frankfurt) and took the overnight car train to Alessandria in Italy. The next morning we arrived there and went pretty straight to the french side of the alpes where we stayed at the campground in Tende.

    It`s a very nice area with lots of gravel roads up in the mountains and we met quite a lot offroader with 2 and 4 wheels.

    From there it`s a short strech to the coast near St.Tropez and the massive de maures is a recommended mountain range near the sea.

    Of course, we went afterwards to our favourite place - the Gorge du Verdon - and enjoyed the late summer weather with swimming in the lake of St.Croix.

    We took the Route des Grand Alpes northbound and drove many Cols, the roads are up & down, left & right and with almost endless curves .... we had a lot of fun!

    After almost 2 weeks of fun riding and perfect weather conditions, we had to go back home. We had a small issue with a broken kill switch, nothig else .... most of our stuff worked just fine and we are confident, that we are almost setup for the next big one :-)

    We hope you enjoy the pics
