Stay out of trouble and have fun. Pics for sure.

Very envious, mammut! I was in Czech and Switzerland last year, and would love to go back. Luzern is lovely; too bad you're skipping Bern. It's even nicer.

Stay safe out there and take lots of pics!

Good Luck, have fun and post those pics when you get back.

Thanks guys , I started packing and getting stuff ready. It seems like I dont need to bring the softbags on the side. The topbox and tankbag is enough which is great news, they flop too much and Im going on the autobahn and I intend to haul ass.

Got the Swiss and Austrian vignettes on. 100 bucks of road toll, blood suckers !

You're doing a 5,000 km trip with that little luggage? I'm doing 1300 kms this weekend and I packed more than that!

[JIB]

Heck, I took more than that to the rally last year when I rode down.

[mammut89]

well I dont think I need more space. Im bringing 10x boxer shorts , 10x pairs of socks, 6 tshirts, 1 shirt, two sets of underwear for riding, one hoodie, one pair of jeans, one shorts, one bathing shorts, towel, extra gloves, chain lube, flat tire repair kit, 1 liter motor oil, dslr camera, laptop, laptop charger, toilet stuff, travel documents, passport

[elsueco]

Must be a big tank bag; that'll about do it.

How many days is this trip?

(Still very envious over here)

Every biker needs an epic adventure....or two........ or three. I'm really happy you're going off on this one Mo.

I'll be doing this one again next summer as my daughter is getting married.

Have fun. Just got home last week and ready for more adventure.

Just got back from my own mini-adventure this weekend. About 950 miles since Thursday afternoon. Here's my report:

that looks freaking awesome !

Guys I have had two fairly boring transport days first day 800km plus a 4 hour ferry, and yesterday 1000km nonstop just pitstop for fuel. But I did manage to get some pictures, not many. Today I can finally start the real ride

First off : bikemods bro:

You dont want your butt to hurt do you ??




waiting for the ferry:






ready for shipping



Downpour on the german autobahn will take you from 200 km/h to 0 in a jiffy..

I could barely see the exit ramp... people were just stopped next to the road.



back on track :


finally the alps, Mont Blanc , France..

Classy.

With a 1000 km day you're looking for comfort more than style.

[mammut89]

Yeah it looks like shit but it worked very well

A quick update: the trip has been great. Nothing has gone wrong so far. But lots of "interesting" stuff has happened LOL.

I will let the pictures talk for themselves.









st. Bernard pass:

Unfortunately I cant stop and take pictures of everything. But it has been endless miles of only twisties up and down mountain passes. And I have counted 22 mountain passes so far. The journey continues... hopefully without any more snow

[elsueco]

Awesome photos; I'm insanely jealous, though not of the snow...
