    Hi gang,

    Just wanted to share some pics and practice doing a RR from a recent bit of awesome last weekend. My friend and I hit Stevio on the way home to Stuttgart from BMW Motorrad Days 2012 in Garmisch. We hit the pass the day after Koby did (http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=806812).

    Hope these all work and you guys enjoy the pics.

    Spectacular photos! I was there 3 years ago. I look forward to being there again. If I'm real lucky I will be there this fall:)
