Title: Stella Alpina 2017
Post by: zebulon on July 11, 2017, 13:54:56

A long time I look at this meeting, but I thought it was to difficult for me with a varadero - yes I know a few have done, but I'm not a pilot.
So (as here) asked on some forum if some people are interested , meet also some friend in the Touratech French event , so decided to go; some hesitation due to the weather, but we meet there!  VCIF_ThumbUp

Did the Stella Alpina in 1985, `86, `87 and `88.
In `85 to the top on a CB 900 Bol D`or with package  ;D
At that time there was a weather station at the top, that´s where this picture is taken from:

(https://scontent-arn2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/13442562_10153723545572898_390473474978971111_o.jpg?oh=1d063f979c2668093f80ea251f58c740&oe=5A275E32)

In `86, `87 and `88 to around 1800 m. on respectively CB 900 Bol D`or, Kawasaki Z 750 B2 parallel twin and CB 750 K7 (the one I still have)... without package, but now with passenger.

No, it was quite rocky and muddy with snowmelt running down the road. In fact, the second year on the CB 900, I got a bulge in one of the exhaust front pipes from a rock ;D

At that time you could only go to the top every fourth or fifth year, I was told by Mario Artusio, the founder of the meeting, the other years there was to much snow. Seemed to be right, as it was only the first of the four times I got to the top. Don´t know how that is today, but the weather has changed, I can see, back then we had the finest sunny weather all four years.
