All in all, we had 9 days, took 2 days to ride down from Amsterdam, and two days up.... via Germany on the way down, and came back up via France and Luxembourg. For most of the days, we just camped near Andermatt, and visited the passes around. occationally goes in and out of Italy, ended up 150km from Millan at one stage...
Some passes have very good visibility so you can really put some speed down.. most of the hairpin places are good for knee down. Passo dello Spluga's hairpin was very sharpe, some car has to do three point turn to turn, extreme caution there...

thanks all for the positive comments about the pics... to simply put the scenaries are breath taking everywhere we go, its the scenary that brought the pics alive. wish i had more time to stop and take pictures... but the roads are just calling, and one twisties after another... one sweeping bends after another, it won't do justice to the road engineer that i stop too often...
