GTR Club Europe Dolomites Italy 2012 Rally
« on: September 10, 2012, 02:14:35 PM »
We got back a week ago from a 3000 miles ride to the Dolomites, with 21 bikes, we were honored by the presence of 2 US riders, both members of COG and part of the OTP (over the pond) exchange with Europe.
One road the bike of one of the GCE member, the other rode a GTR 1400, graciously given FOC for the duration of the trip by Kawasaki Germany...
We all had a good time are looking forward to the next one, riding the Norwegian fjords...

Find below link to some pictures...

They open perfectly for me (perhaps because I'm closer to those places...  ;D).
Anyway, those are some of the best mountain landscapes on the planet!
I didn't go there but close, many years ago.
Stelvio pass is considered one of the best, but since next year you'll have to pay 10 euros for going up there!  >:(

Great pics and great fun also... ;)
Congratulations!

Stand out from the crowd: do not buy a BMW !!!

It's not working for gPink because he's a Packer fan.   ;)

Don't know Mav, maybe facebook hates me.  8)
The second pic Conrad reposted of the lake is almost surreal.
Maverick do you have Bears there?

Yeah, when I fist looked at that second pic it took me a moment to process what I was looking at. For a split second I thought that something was wrong with the pic.

Of course they have Bears there Pinky! No Packers though.    8)
