Alps Tours by Moto-Charlie

WHAT KIND OF RIDING EXPERIENCE DO YOU NEED?

In my biography section I mention that much of my current riding consists of track days. To me, riding in the Alps is one big, glorious, unending track day. To the big Swiss guy on the Harley, the Bernina pass is a great place to go cruising. Either way, we're both right.

But, whether your style is sport or cruise, the Alps require a certain amount of skill. You will be turning, and braking, and shifting much, much more than you do riding American roads. You'll be overtaking cars and buses going uphill and downhill, and sometimes the only clear view to pass with the motorcycle will be going through a turn. None of the high roads have any guardrails to speak of, so you need to be careful.

Riding a motorcycle properly requires skill no matter where you ride but definitely more so in the Alps.

If you have any questions or concerns about the skill required, please feel free to contact me and I will be glad to share my experience with you.
