Just a couple of days ago I came back from the most serious trip I've had until now with the Fazer. The group consisted of three bikes in total - me with my FZ6, my boyfriend with an XJR1200 and a friend of ours, again with an XJR1200. Following is a short summary and a couple of pictures from the trip.
The idea:
Some serious route planning was needed - most of it was was done by the guys - the 2 XJR's were equipped with GPS's, while I bought myself a normal map. It turned out to be quite insufficient as soon as we left the highways.
If I could cut the long story short, the idea was to travel from Bulgaria through Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Italy, Austria, Germany and back. The targets were the passes: Stelvio, Gavia, Gerloss, Grosglockner, Nockalmstrasse, Villacher Alpenstrasse, the passes in the Triglav National Park and also the castles near Fussen in Germany (e.g. Neuschwanstein).
Here is a log of the trip encompassing predominantly the mountain part of our trip.
The trip
The fazer packed with luggage and ready:
Serious rain and cold on the way to Passo di Gavia:
Let's document ourselves on the Stelvio pass:
Grosglockner was quite picturesque even in the quite unfriendly weather conditions:
Camping at Faak am See:
Somewhere under Mangrt mount in the Triglav National Park:
Entering Bulgaria - tired, but quite happy with the adventure we had:
The full picture sets are here:

I'm quite happy that we made the trip and would definitely recommend the routes to everybody interested. The nature and the roads are marvelous. Well, we are definitely going back next year if we have a chance to, hoping to see some more favourable weather conditions.
Greetings from Bulgaria!
