Here you are some pictures and videos of a recent two days ride in the Pyrenees.
Wonderful area with incredible views. And with the autumn light and colors it was amazing. ::012::
We where two ST and two GSA but one of the BMW broke the transmission (quite frequent in our group…) ::)
I am lucky to live so close to there…. ::008::

Jaimie,
I have to ask about all your handlebar mounted switches,
one is a clutch mod, what are the others for? ::014::

For the abs switch, did you put the switch into the abs
Power supply?
No idea, I'm useless in electrics .... the dealer did it. :(

I'm sure some people here can give you a propper answer, if not I can ask the dealer. ::003::

There are rental bikes in Toulouse for next time! Holiday Bikes closed and the easiest to find now are at the Harley dealer. There are a couple of small shops that will rent whatever they happen to have at the time if you ask. They will be road bikes and most are 600cc or less. Take your own helmet & gear, because the rental stuff is generally icky.

thanks for that,
could not agree more on the 'bring your own gear'
we were in Bologna in may (ducati factory tour-wicked), then drove north to Mandello de Lario (moto guzzi town), the local dealer/factory outlet rents guzzi's as well: http://www.motoguzzirent.it/
but I did find a better place right in Frankfurt, direct flight from Calgary to Frankfurt, work off the jet lag, and away you go: http://www.motorradvermietung.de/en/price-list/details.php?id=149
On the must do life list ::014::
