Well, I finally pulled the trigger on a bucket list ride. My cousin in London has invited me to tag along with him on a 10 day tour of (start in Kent, UK) France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany and Italy. The only thing missing will be my wonderful NC700 steed, but I have rented a decent replacement - Triumph 800 Speed Triple ABS with a full set of side and top cases. We will be hitting the amazing roads (Google some of these - wow) and visiting some amazing places. Highlights include:
• Black Forest
• Furka mountain pass
• Grimsel mountain pass
• Susten mountain pass
• Arlberg mountain pass
• Silveretta mountain pass
• Piller mountain pass
• Ressia mountain pass
• Weissseespitze Glacier
• Swiss panoramic train journeys
• Ski resort of Grindewald
• Ski resort of Wengen
• Trummelbach waterfalls
• Medieval town of Glorenza
• Stelvio mountain pass
• Umbrail mountain pass
I am going to set up some sort of blog and try best to document the adventure. I will have a GoPro on the helmet and the ever faithful iPhone for stills. Trip is in late June, early July so the weather should be decent. Using a local outfit that arranges the self guided tour and handles all the paperwork, lodging, most meals, etc...
Anyone else here done something like this?
