I did a trip to Italy last year in April, midnight ferry then bashed the autoroutes and made the Alps by about 3 o'clock. As we were making good time thought it would befun to go up and try to find an open pass - first road we tried turned into a ski slope! Time ran out so went through the Frejus tunnel. An amazing trip followed including the Guzzi and Ducati factory/museums and a great deal of red wine in the evenings.
Just one word of warning... three months after the trip an envelope arrived containing a speeding fine, apaprently from a mobile camera on the way up to the Mont Blanc tunnel. I couldn't believe they'd bothered to track me down, particularly as I'd sold the bike soon after the trip. Although bearing in mind the speeds we'd maintained on the entire trip I kind of thought it was fair enough.
