Extra options that can make a world of difference

Posted on December 22, 2017December 25, 2017 by Knut Meyn 1 Comment

We live in a world of diverse transportation options. In every vehicle group there is an equal or larger diversity of models, to suit your “every needs”. In pursuit of riding perfection Since returning to motorcycle riding spring 2015 I’ve gone through various stages, with various compromises. Some of the most common issues or challenges…read more>>

Tires, a tiring topic you cannot retire from

Posted on December 3, 2017April 24, 2018 by Knut Meyn 11 Comments

Since picking up riding again, after more than a quarter of a century “in darkness”, the topic around and about tires bounces back, all the time. What to choose, and what to use. Tires, not an -ism, not a religion although sometimes I wonder if that is exactly what the topic has evolved, or rather…read more>>

2017 Summer Adventure part 15, returning north

Posted on November 25, 2017November 5, 2018 by Knut Meyn 2 Comments

The second last day was all about returning north. Time was up. Wanted to be back home and have a couple of days rest before returning to work. North through Germany Initially I’d decided to avoid the Autobahn as much as possible on this adventure. But returning north was about saving some time for the…read more>>

Border crossing – 2017 Summer Adventure (part 14)

Posted on November 22, 2017December 1, 2018 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Border crossing, that’s what the next two legs were about. The course was to be set northwest. Heavy weather was looming over Germany and central Europe. I had my share of mega-wetness the day before. So, west was the best. Farewell Switzerland Left the hotel not too early in the morning (again) after breakfast. At…read more>>

2017 Summer Adventure part 13, Switzerland (again)

Posted on November 11, 2017November 13, 2017 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Liechtenstein wasn’t exactly over exciting. No parties in the streets, nothing spectacular but pleasant enough, and all fine by me. Now it was back into Switzerland. Auf Wiedersehen Liechenstein Morning came, heavy rain clouds were hanging over the hills and mountains. It had rained during the night, and prospects for the day weren’t too good….read more>>

2017 Summer Adventure part 12, The Swiss Exit

Posted on November 5, 2017February 4, 2019 by Knut Meyn 1 Comment

Morning came and it was time for the next leg. The fragments of a plan I had, pointed in the direction of Stilfser joch (Stelvio pass). From there take a “Swiss exit” out of the Alps.  Originally the “plan” had been to cross the Alps westwards. Eventually end up in the French Alpine section, and…read more>>

Rewind, pictures and rides from 2015

Posted on November 2, 2017November 4, 2017 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

The season is ending here up north, or ebbing out. Thought to rewind a little bit, post some pics from rides in 2015. Late May that year, after over 32 years of absence, I was “back in the saddle”. Thanks to a friend and fellow rider I “saw the light”, again. The expression might not…read more>>

2017 Summer Adventure part 11, The Dolomites

Posted on October 29, 2017January 26, 2020 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

As it turned out, Hotel Gianzianella in Sottoguda was a good spot for staying a couple of nights. For one thing, the prices outside Cortina d’Ampezzo are better, the Dolomites are close by. Then there are the roads! The Dolomites – when you’re at the doorstep in the literal sense of the word. Right across…read more>>

2017 Summer Adventure part 10, Italy & South Tyrol

Posted on October 22, 2017November 4, 2017 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

From Kirchberg in Tyrol the thought, more than the/a plan, was to ride south to Italy, and the Dolomites.  For as long as possible, try to avoid rain. After the heavy shower in Kitzbuhel, I felt no urge to steer right into one such, again. Fortunately, weather in Austria looked ok, though there was pretty…read more>>

2017 Summer Adventure part 9, Alpine Austria

Posted on October 14, 2017February 4, 2019 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Woke up to a beautiful Alpine morning, and headed down for breakfast. The Sun shone from clear blue sky over the wood clad pass. A Sunny morning is never wrong, definitely not when out on an adventurous ride! The restaurant and breakfast area in Hotel Kornock has a very pleasant atmosphere. Took seat at a table,…read more>>
