So, I had some time to put up some random pictures. I apologize for the duplicates. And the 2 different dumpsters, they didnt show up on my phone. Anyway, I wanted to show the steepness and narrowness of the roads! The side trip we made into Pisa was awesome as we rode some very backroad non touristy areas and saw some amazing views with no traffic. We saw where the marble has been cut out of the mountains for thousands of years to build the monuments in Rome, Florence, Pisa, Milan, etc. The roadsie villas, the little villages placed on the mountainsides, etc. were breath taking. More Stelvio pictures, with the young lady in our group on the Ducati making her way up behind us really shows how tight and steep the tunrs are. The glaciers in the peaks of the Alps! Just an awesome trip. It could be done in less days then we took but it was perfect for us. Time to ride and sightsee

If anyone is interested, I can get you in touch with the folks who put this on so they can answer any questions. The trip is spectacular!
