Well, home again in Södermalm. 6780km...and its seems like a dream. I'll need a new chain and sprockets as they were worn anyway before I left. Overall it was a beautiful trip, no problems with the bike or cops... and the other bikers I meet along the way were super. I hope to do another trip next y...

Tried to caption the link with YouTube, but didn't work,

Anyway, here's the run from Pont-En-Royans over the pass in Gorges de la Bourne to Grenoble. Absolutely fantastic road.

PS. drop the audio....sounds like a Electrolux dammsugare..

Frejus to Orange It was already 26C at 07:30 so I'll use the motorway to Arles from Frejus... as the temperature will hit 33 by mid day. Its not much to look at, but quick. From Arles ( see map) north I'll take the cut off at Pont -ST-Esprit that leads to the Gorge Ardeche. http://i1216.photobucket....

Hi, sorry for the time gap. Internet can be a problem in France.... The ride from Castellane to Frejus was nice, I took the lower road along the Verdon river at the north end of the Gorge (Grand Canyon) that swings through the hill country above the Var region, beautiful ride early in the morning. T...

Thanks, its cool, I ride for the pleasure of it.

Here's Video from the camera I mounted up front, its the road from Grenoble to Catellane ( near the Gorge Verdon) its fantastic riding.

Over night in Heidelberg, then on to Geneva. I cant wait to get off the Autobahn....its boring. I plan to do the smaller roads from Geneva to Grenoble, then pick up the N85 ( route Napoleon further south.

The bikes running great, but the chain needs a lot of attention...

Day 1 July 28th 2011 This trip started with the ferry to Gdansk from Stockholm ( 18 hours..) after unloading in the rain, I continued on the E28 to Szczecin at the German border. The distance is around 395, and a lot of round abouts, stop and go traffic. At 18:00 I reach Germany and blasted down the...

Well I've traveled most of France over the years, your best chance for having good weather is the southern region, around San Raphael and Frejus. Plus you have some of the best mountain roads in Europe for taking day trips. As for budget, I would suggest F1 hotels as the cheapest way, and they're al...

Ok dont skratta åt min svenska .. lol Jag planerar en resa i juni till södra Frankrike (Provence) med en daglig avstånd runt 500 km .. + - (för gammal för mer lol) Hotell F1 kostar ca 250 / 300 per dag med 3 personer, det är inte lux, men billig .... Planen är dag 1, Stockholm / Malmö. Dag 2, Hannov...

Thanks, thats good to know! I had no idea it worked with carb vacuum.

( I'll try the drink, sound s good.

I ordered the fuelexhaust stainless steel model for my transalp. It has a removable baffle (race mode) and comes with extension pipe and clamps ( also stainless) and this system doesn't need any engine mapping ( plugs and jet change) its been dynoed from the shop to fit the XL600 back pressure deman...

You da man !!! Thanks for the answer. ( lites a cigar and sips a little Scotch...its Friday)

Wow, nobody knows which way is reserve?

Dumb question... as there wasn't an owners manual with this bike (1994) I'm not sure which is the "on" position or "reserve" with the gas flow ( arrow up or down)

I'm just off Hornsgatan ( Maria berget) in Södermalm ( Stockholm)

You guys have any rides planed this spring?

Tack så mycket.! Jag kan läsa ganska bra. Men, att skreva på svenska är lita tuffe. Jag vill försök ....don't laugh

I'm a Yank living in södermalm and I ride a Transalp 600 ( 1994). Please excuse the english..my swedish sucks.. I hope to meet up with some local riders this spring in Stockholm for some weekend runs. I'm 59 years old, and have been riding motorcycles most of my life. This June I'm riding from Stock...
