Well I'm on my holidays again in Europe and whilst I'm stuck indoors during a thunder storm I thought I'd post some X pics.
A moody xpic whilst driving over the mountains from France to Italy
Another halfway up the Stelvio pass
The Stelvio pass is an amazing road with some amazing views.

Re: Holidaying in Europe
We are staying on lake como at the moment so tackled it from the south end. The journey up from the north looks quite treacherous too .
I had nervous passengers with me so was very well behaved
There were a lot of motorbikes around too. Am hoping to do the San Bernardino on the way home

Stuck the X in sport gearbox and suspension and it performed admirably. Apart from the fact I though I may well be boiling the gearbox oil
Considering the 4 adults and 2 Labradors I though we did quite well.
Mainly did it to escape the 36c heat down by the like and I don't think I've seen so many motorbikes all at once.
Certainly made me want to be on mine
