Col de l’Iseran, a day, there and back

Posted on May 22, 2022 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Col de l’Iseran is the highest paved Alpine pass. It’s close to the French – Italian border, a must see or do for many motorcyclists. Settled in Italy the plan was to do a one day excursion. From Italy and over into France. Ride Col de l’Iseran, maybe a little bit beyond, and return. I’d…read more>>

Assietta or Strada dell’Assietta, a definite high

Posted on March 6, 2022March 6, 2022 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

The Alpine military road known as Strada dell’Assietta is a road road that, for many motorcycle riders, is high up on the list of must do’s. So also for me. But it wasn’t planned. Like so many other things it just happened. Actually, I wasn’t sure I’d do it, alone, on a large adventure motorcycle…read more>>

Five passes on a day, in France

Posted on March 3, 2022March 4, 2022 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

August 28th became the day of the five passes.  A long day, a pretty long ride. But what does that matter when you’re in the French Alps? As I got started in the morning, nothing was planned. Well, I had a couple of passes on my list. But nothing definite. And absolutely no idea about…read more>>

The next morning heading south in France was the plan. Said farewell to the great guys I met at Hotel Le Roitelet and continued first west. Then south. Did think about going back into Switzerland. But I’d never been in the region, and mountains south of Lac Leman before. So first I took D22 slightly…read more>>
