The CB1100 Community Forum

I have been waiting several days before the weather let us do this large round. Not so much distance to cover, but very winding roads, up and down, it took all the day long.

Two dozen of pictures in this picasaweb album : [url=https://picasaweb.google.com/jp.sembely/2014_08_05MotoGalibierCroixDeFer?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCKC2647078vLtQE&feat=directlink]2014-0805 Galibier Croix de Fer

And here an extract : Our CB1100 at the higher point of the trip : Galibier pass, 2646 m.


I went there before, a few years ago (ski touring).


The road is easier in summer!


Galibier pass is quite a challenge for bicycle sportsmen, but many succeed, and are proud to get a souvenir. So some photographs spend all the day taking pictures of bicycles, available through internet the night after (not for free, of course...). They also take pictures of motorbikes and nice cars passing there. I found they did a good job, I paid for getting the files ! (10 euros for 1600 px picture)

Excellent photos! Thanks for sharing![/align]

Looks like a great trip. The pictures are awesome. Thanks for sharing!

Lovely scenery and pics. Mountain roads are made for motorcycles I think.

Fantastic photos, Delphissa. Looks like a wonderful ride.

Geezalou I get so jealous when I see one of your seat time posts. Just know it is going to be beautiful mountains. The pic of the two of you is outstanding.

Fantastic pictures Dephesia. Thanks for sharing.

Splendid. Just splendid. Thanks

WoW. That looks like a great time; thanks for sharing.

We need to do a group ride there!

Fantastic trip report. No engine issues at altitude I presume.
