My Stella Adventure

Post by bond_yzf »

Bloody hell where to start its been an adventure to say the least but firstly a big thanks to the guys i rode down with

Desert Raider
Gary117
Paul7021
Dubbers

without you guys i doubt it would have been such a laugh,and also meeting africajim and fiona two of the nicest people you could wish to meet hope to have a beer soon guys !

The whole trip is still jumbled in me head so a brief description of the trip was:

calais to dijon
dijon to bardonecchia
bardonecchia to lake como
lake como to stelvio
stelvio across the umbrail to switzerland
umbrail to black forest
black forest to bonn following the rhine valley
bonn to brugge
brugge to home

in amongst all that was mount jafferau and the stella of course, the jaff is totally unbeleiveable its a most do,ive got soooo many pics to upload so heres a quick teaser !!

About the bike: xt660z

Never missed a beat lost a little coolant coming thro lake como but it was 32 degress so not suprising,took me thro all that and didnt use a drop of oil wouldnt have been on anything else anyone who says you cant tour on a z is having a giraffe.
