Not today but 2 weeks in the Italian Alps: After bigger trips in the last 2 summers, went for something a bit simpler this time:

My Fazer is now at 40000 miles, but still did 900 miles in one day, when I did Austria back to Bristol.
Looks like you had a good trip, nice photos, thanks for posting. Hope you had better weather than midden and me!
I'm still thinking about doing another one next month, and have just booked the bike in to have some bits done so it'll be ready, but not certain of going yet. Mine is also approaching 40k miles, but I wouldn't have a moment's hesitation in riding the thing around the world if it came to it. 40k is nothing on these if they're looked after, as you know of course.
You also beat our one day return trip of about 750 miles from Austria to Gravesend, good going!

My exp is that the weather is best in the eastern alps in mid-late august. I went earlier, because i was dying for a decent bit of riding. i'd love to be Gravesend based, i'd be off to the ardennes, eifel, taunus or hunsruck much more frequently....
