Switzerland? Beautiful. Gorgeous mountain scenery.

That settles it, I'm off to France in September to meet up with my mate Barry - via the Pyrenees, I reckon!

Mr C · 17-Jul-2005, 23:26

Wow thats some road and beautiful scenery.

And all that only an hour away from home! One negative though ... Ducati Race Track Bred Suspension sometimes does quite cut the mustard on the rut invested, bump riddled pass roads ......

However it is worth doing just for the achievement, the views, and realising just how small you are !!!

Awesome roads-soluction to the "Ducati Race Track Bred Suspension sometimes does quite cut the mustard on the rut invested, bump riddled pass roads" keep the 998 for the track and get a Multistrada-they were made for roads like that.

These roads are a must on the way to World Ducati week next year, we did it last year and the scenery takes your breath away.

Great photo's pieman!

Nah, cos the GS is much better !!!!

It is the Klaussen Pass .. just south of Zurich ... cuts over towards Altdorf and the valley that leads to the Gotthard tunnel

Not that you want to know, but there are much better passes than that !!
