Default Rockin' Europe Old Skool Pics (Europetour)

Hi Guys,

We're back from the Europetour now so i thought i'd post some pics. We've got over a thousand pics and videos all together but i'll just post a few for now as i don't want to bore you to death, lol.

For anyone that doesn't know, we went from Liverpool, England, right through France from Calais to Toulon, St Tropez, Cannes, Monaco, Genova, Pisa, Florence, Rimini, Venice including Lido island, Lake Garda, Glorenza, A tiny corner of Austria, Over the Swiss alps to St Antonien Switzerland, Black Forrest Germany, Luxembourge, Belgium and back into France to come home. We also visited Valentino Rossi's home town and birthplace along the way

At the Ferryport at Calais, France.


Claire asleep on the way down through France


First stop in France, wearing the Cbr tour shirts we had made


From left to right. My girlfriend Clare, Chris (Chrimbow),his girlfriend Claire, Sue (Gra's wife) Gra (GMC) and myself, Gaz (NoBrains)


Curling in a supermarket, lol. Chris polishing the floor for me to push Claire faster

Outside Rossi's fan club at Tavullia, Italy.

Thanks for the great comments guys. More pics below

Didn't manage to do the Millau Viaduct as it's further west than we went. looks great though

Me and Clare doing the famous Titanic pose, or not, lol.


The road down to lake Garda with one of many hairpins.


The hotel we stayed in at garda (blue and yellow) was so close to the lake if you rolled out of bed you got wet


Sunset over lake Garda.


The triplets waiting for their panniers to be added before leaving Garda

The fabulously coloured Lago Di Tenno, just north of lake Garda.


Clare and Claire at Graun, what's left of the sunken town just north of Glorenza in Italy.


There's always one idiot that has to cross the hard way, that would be me then, lol.


Up in the clouds in the alps.


Coldest tunnel in the world i reckon. We all went from sunshine to instant shivers.
