Euro Hooning Pics
Discussion
Great pics, though I do question your sanity for attempting it at this time of year? 
It reminds me of a journey to the Pyrenees last April with a couple of mates, all of us on bikes (the petrol driven kind, not pedal - mine was an R1). There was snow and ice everywhere which came as a bit of a surprise after the glorious sunshine at sea level. As we sat eating our lunch in a ski resort, a big cloud descended leaving us with a half hour of pure terror for the descent into Spain on hairpin-laden roads and visibility down to 20/30ft. Not something I'm keen to repeat.
The San Barnardino pass looks excellent though. I've been planning on taking the Noble to the Stelvio pass but preferably in mid summer in the hope of some grip

All of the main roads were completely clear of snow with plenty of grip. Still managed to slide the back end out of most corners - just for fun It reminds me of a journey to the Pyrenees last April with a couple of mates, all of us on bikes (the petrol driven kind, not pedal - mine was an R1).

Only the really high mountain back roads were blocked with snow. Gassing Station | Noble | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
