Great rides in the heart of Europe…

Great rides in the heart of Europe With our private groups of up to 10 –12 bikes, our tours are more enjoyable, flexible and with a personal attention to your wishes. We customize your ride every day to fit your particular riding style and any special interests you have. You decide the ride each day. Set your own perfect pace. Explore at your tempo. Decide where your riding wings take you and discover the less travelled road. A look at daily distances will convince you there is enough time to do a lot of sight seeing or serious sport riding. It's your choice every day. Riders can join their bilingual tour guide or have the freedom to set their own pace and route. Tour guides are experienced, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. They're responsive to your needs and handle all the red tape to help you enjoy an exciting and care-free European motorcycling vacation. See places you dream about and never dreamed to have existed. Every day you decide which mustsee sights are to be combined with off-the-beaten-path surprises. A daily mix of riding highlights on alternate routes are presented to you each day.

Climb the hill and enjoy a ride to the top of the Penser Joch.

With your detailed maps, tour booklet and daily route overviews, we provide just enough structure for you to enjoy your ride. Since your luggage is transported for you from room to room, you travel light and have plenty of space for gifts and souvenirs. While the ride is important, our tours are not just runs through the countryside. Ride with us on little-known side roads, obscure mountain passes, vineyards and forest trails. Discover the special charm of the local people, explore the various cultures, sample different lifestyles and learn interesting customs. Allow us to exceed your expectations.

At 2 or 3 day stops (rest days), a full range of activities are available to choose, if you prefer not to ride. Rent a bicycle, enjoy a sauna, swim or sunbathe, visit local sights, shop or just plain relax. Rise early for breakfast or sleep-in as you please. On rest day nights at the same location, you can also try other nearby restaurants or of course discover and sample new culinary delights at the hotel where you are staying.

Great places to park your boots At the end of a day's ride, you want comfortable and attractive accommodations. We've found them! Stay in secluded mountain chalets, historical inns or resort areas. Most of these hotels you would never discover on your own. A great mix of locations on lake shores, forests, meadows, vineyards, hills, in villages and towns, offer the right balance of stops on every tour. They offer the best of European hospitality, tradition and service. Some are in 16th and 17th century historical buildings. One even opened up their doors to guests in 1380! All rooms are with private

Our Bozen, Italy Harley dealer always extends a cordial welcome to all riders.

larger groups. No matter where you lay your head for the evening, we have found the great places for

you to hang up your helmet and park your boots after an exciting day of riding.

Our Swiss riding base camp for all Alpine tours is at Brienz not only because of its perfect hotel, great riding location and friendly folks, but because it offers many other attractions and things to do if you would like to park your bike for a few hours or the entire day. Some inns have been family owned for over 10 generations. Many owners are also riders. A few are so cozy and small, reflecting a special charm and character, that they can not accept Our Schlern mountain 2-day stop offers a scenic hotel location.

On the Tuesday tour start date, we meet you at the Frankfurt/Main International airport per your travel plans. It is best to arrive in the morning. You travel to a dealer and pick up your motorcycle. Enjoy a short and pleasant ride to your hotel in the city of Mainz in the Rhine river valley. In the late afternoon you participate in a Eurorider and safety slide show followed by a get-together reception and your welcome dinner.

You meet the friendliest riders in the world on one of our tours.

Great ride everyday When your tour reservation is confirmed, you are sent initial information. Major credit cards or personal checks can be used for deposits and payments. About 4 weeks before your tour starts, you receive a 15-piece tour information packet which includes high quality maps, tour booklet with detailed day-byday itineraries, clothing list, emergency procedures, Eurorider and hotel information, descriptive

regional brochures and other useful travel and visitor tips. All of your possible questions are fully covered by our detailed information packet. We also offer a number of optional tour arrangements to help you make your vacation even more enjoyable. Review page 7 and a tour overview for more details and then fill in your requirements on your tour application. 5

Unfortunately the time arrives when the endless curving roads must end. On your last riding day of Friday, you return to Frankfurt/Main. Travel directly to your dealer and return your bike. Board the comfortable support van waiting for you. Arrive a few minutes later at your hotel with your luggage in your room one last time. At your evening farewell dinner, eat, drink and be merry as long as you like, depending of course on your departure travel plans the next morning! You can depart at a time of your choice on the Saturday morning tour completion date. All good things must end, but once you have ridden the Alps, you are hooked for life and will want to come back as often as possible searching for that perfect road.

Cote d'Or wine region. If you like, stop at the castle-cloister Clos de Vougeot. Meander along the Route du Vin through the picturesque wine villages of GevreyChambertin and ChambolleMusigny.

Riders in the 21st century can now additionally enjoy the curves and superb scenery through wine regions. This tour is for those who take their motorcycling as serious as the wine master in his cellar. Both know that life is a bit better and more enjoyable when practicing their trade. You have a chance to experience the best of two worlds. Start your ride by winding along the Rhine river and through the vineyards and hills of Rhinehessen. Discover the Suedliche Wein-Strasse and enter France by passing through the Maginot line. Join the Route du Vin and stay in a colorful Alsatian wine village.

This area has more curves than most Alpine areas. Ride west towards the agricultural province of Franche-Comte. Enjoy the Plateau de Haute-Saone and follow the Saone river.

Enjoy a delightful afternoon ride at your tempo along the north shore of the Brienzersee. Explore the wood-carvers village of Brienz. No matter where you plan to ride, Alpine vistas, rushing streams, cows grazing on high pastures and villages of flowered chalets welcome you. Greet the highest and best-known Swiss passes. Ride the Susten, Grimsel, Furka or Nufenen and Gotthard passes with their superb sweeping curves and unforgettable vistas. Visit Lucerne with its Wooden Chapel bridge and historical Altstadt. Ride the Black Forest High Road with its hills, curves, open meadows and pine tree valleys. With luck you may hear a real cuckoo or more likely purchase an authentic smaller version of the Black Forest's most famous product.

All tours offer the Grimsel pass.

Ride the greenest of all provinces. Enter the Vallee de la Loue or Foret de Joux riding towards Pontarlier in the Jura mountains. Discover one of the fascinating ridge roads over the Col de Roches towards La Chaux de Fonds and the Swiss watch region. Ascend and descend the Jura mountain region as you cross ridge lines. Savor your first Alpine air at the Vue des Alpes. Enter the Vaud province of Switzerland. See the Neuchatel lake as you descend from the hills. Stay in the delightful town of Murten where the entire center is a medieval work of art. 8

See the Student Prince university town of Heidelberg. Visit the Altstadt (Old City) with its historical center. Your tour is almost over as you mount your steed one last time, ride the cobblestone streets and enter the Autobahn for a short and fast ride towards Frankfurt/Main.

Even sport riders need to check their maps once in a while.

cozy and traditional inn. Next morning navigate the lunar landscape of the Bernina pass and enter Italy. Now you are on the spur of Andreas Hofer, an early 19th century idealist and a Tyrolean hero. Climb countless twisties to the grand pass of all passes known by mere mortal riders as the Stilfser Joch/Passo dello Stelvio. Your riding activities are not only curve-twisting, but tongue-twisting as well, trying to pronounce all the passes you'll come to know and love! Not only are exciting rides every day, but new adventures in taste are waiting for you at your dining table. Try Swiss Raclette or Fondue, the best Alpine pasta in Italy or Tyrolean Speckknoedel.

Start your ride by winding along the Rhine river and through the vineyards and hills of Rhinehessen. Curves slowly start with open meadows, green valleys and pine trees of the Black Forest. Cross over into Switzerland. If you like, visit Bettwil with the museum and garage of Fritz Egli, a well-known engine tuner and frame constructor. Savor the quiet lapping waters of the Vierwaldstaetter See and its crowned jewel of Lucerne. Explore the wood-carvers village of Brienz. How about scaling heights with the Brienz Rothorn Bahn on a steam powered cog-geared train for an incredible Alpine view? Or why not greet the Swiss passes Susten, Grimsel and Furka?
