Just back from the Stella Alpina, the link below has some photos.
Went out through Belgium, Germany into Switzerland and then italy.
Did more mountain passes and hairpins than I can remember. Did some of the trails around Bardonechia as well as the Sommellier. Then headed down to Tende in France to do the start of the LKGS.

The highlight of the trip was on the trails around Tende, sharing the trail with walkers and mountain bikers and only waves and smiles in return. Asked a few walkers for info on the trails, all positive replies "Yes! Very good for motorbike, very good!"
