Great Roads: Kick-Ass Mountain Passes From Our Euro Trip

In September of 2010, Kenny and I met up with our friend Patrick in Italy and spent a little over a week riding around in the mountains. Our travels took us to Italy, Switzerland, the teeny-weeny country of Liechtenstein, and Austria. The trip was, in a word – monumental.

Even though months have passed, I still find myself reliving fragments of the trip in my imagination. The Alps are a motorcyclist’s paradise.

Though it was difficult to will yourself to stop riding, we did manage to snap a few photos of some beautiful roads along the way.

    These adventures warrant multiple viewings. I enjoy them every time because they let us live vicariously through you. And the pictures are to die for.

    Certainly on the bucket list. Just need to live a long time!

    Sigh. Gorgeous pics. I love Rosti, too! I so want to go back there. I can’t wait to get the new bike to the WV place to see if the roads are as much fun on it as they were in Austria et al.

    They are all on my bucket list…..I hope one day to just disappear for a month or more in that area and ride around. Every time I see those pics it amazes me, I think motorcyclists actually built those roads.
