Stelvio Pass

Actually I have not been there with the CB (yet) but, when I'm sad and want to dream a little bit, I take a look at these webcams:

There's quite a history to that pass, if it's the one I'm thinking of. Didn't Moto Guzzi name a bike after it because their founders rode through it on some epic journey that put the company on the map?

Moto Guzzi does have a new ADV bike called the Stelvio, but I think you are talking about the Norge named after a trip to the arctic circle by MG founders in 1928

I have a pair of Dainese gloves named after them

Ferret nailed it.

I am in Romania. Had the bike shipped over and I rode the transfagarasan highway in the carpathian mountains yesterday. It was unbelievable. I will try to report on it tomorrow.

Sweet Bronxboy. Another adventure in seat time! Love it!

Is that the road Top Gear UK did a show on? IIRC, they said it was the best driving road on the world.

Yes, Top Gear thought is was awesome - although I think there are better ones, albeit smaller.

Ridden it a few times - last time in August this year on my Crosstourer with my son on his NC700S. Next year we're in Scotland, so the CB1100 will have to wait until 2015 to see the Stelvio.

can you tell me how much it costs to ship your bike to romania? I love to travel with my bike some days but not riding it all the way to destinations. Riding the Alps, Michigan lakes, and Eastern Europe, Vietnam etc ...
