Nice pictures Demon.
So, next wednesday we leave Belgium with Austria as destination. But as mentioned in another tread, I will start a seperate tread.

Another great weekend in Styria....

This riding season is unfortunately coming to an end....

Did a quick blast last wednesday with best mate (the predator rider from my videos, if you recall?), about 380km-ish. XX was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! Acceleration was way better than the CB1000R...just the handling was off course not so easy and fast as the naked bike. Here are some shots in the near area of the "Teichalm", enjoy: ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting

Some "moving images" from the time, back when I had hair...must´ve been in 2002(?).

Kalte Kuchl Mariazell Motorradausfahrt onboard YZF 600 R Thundercat - YouTube

Austria´s favourite area for the Vienna located motorbike riders.

I'll add a few to the list....how many of these locations can you recognise?

I love Austria but I prefer the Dolomites (sorry guys).
The reason is less Police, less traffic, and more mountainroads. In Austria (or I should say Tirol) you are forced to ride the same valley-raods over and over again, you have less options for an alternative ride....

However, it looks like that end of August or early September we will be in the region again. Anybody wants to meet? You can show us the roads we missed........

He actually said Austr.AL.ia but the silly little tadpole (sperm) had a hearing problem.......

Oh. and just to add..... THAT is sensational countryside HEISTI...

Wow. These bloody Austrians... They are going crazy attaching all these pics of their fantastic countryside.. Makes me want to don my *lederhosen* and start slapping myself silly.
I have actually called the Prime Minister asking that Australia declare WAR on Austria... She asked a pretty pertinent question... "do they have nukes ?".
You wouldn't mind finding out for us before we attack would you. Good on ya...

I guess you haven't been there in a while - the Dolomites have more Police, way more traffic and get this - less mountainroads than Austria (you are comparing a region to a whole country...).
Besides, I don't consider Tirol as good (don't really ride up there that much).... my preferred regions are Kärtnen and Steiermark, lots of mountains and green forests!!

PS: Let us know exactly when you are going, we might be able to organize a short meetup or something, would be great!!

You would think with such similiar country names (and the fact that most Austrian post arrives Australia instead) we would be up for a PEACE pact and not a war one ;-) After all, it's here they sell these T-Shirts...

Can't wait for the riding season to start, it's been great weather over here in the last couple of days! Thinking of recovering my plate next week.... In the meantime, a pic from last year, just to warm up

So, when is our next CE/Austria/Vienna XX meeting???

This man needs to get out in his own country more,

On the other side of the City he lives in, Starts the greatest bike roads in Australia, going on for 2500 miles, I know this, because its on my front door,

We do have roads comparable with Austria and the Tyrol, Etc, But they are covered in trees, and you cant see them, Some of the drops on the sides go down hundreds of feet,
