Austrian Alpine Association

still not existing, but i have the vague feeling that fredl, michl and myself will have to do some alpine roads

edit: added a map for showing how compressed the beauty of nature is, here in austria.

austrian-associated alpine roads are the best, period.



cheers,

Super. I'm going to have to get over there one day.

that is exactly what i thought when i had to decide where i have to be born.

Heisti... So you are saying you picked Austria??? Excellent. You must have been thinking ahead to when you would be getting yourself an XX.

That's a cool thought..! Hey i think the road in the picture is one of the best twisty and landscape view rides...is it the road that comes from czech borders ? or the stelvio route ?

no, it´s the grossglockner hochalpenstrasse here with lot of landscape.
this here with austrian folk music:pics and video.
and here short vid a few serpentines.
two problems for me here: carbs are running way too fat and the traffic jam in the summer is horrible there ^^
großglockner hochalpenstraße - Google Maps
btw: stelvio (stilfser joch) is in the german speaking part of italy, close to the swiss border.

the mighty Glockner is just one thing:
a brilliant fun-park for motorbikes. the roads are perfectly banked, in great condition and the sweeps are swinging so naturally you can really feel the mountain

except for the road to the very peak, called Edelweißspitze, its all creamy-smooth pavement, without any abuse by heavy weight trucks or wintertime plowing.
up to the Edelweißspitze its a boneshaking cobblestone road. but the sight is worth it:

The roads I ride on are all like that one, But you cant see them because of all the trees that are growing there, Mountain Twisties, Yeaaahhhh

trees cause leaves.
leaves no good.
trees no good.

Leaves, Bark, Branches, Actual trees across the road, from time to time, Makes for interesting riding, Makes you a better rider, all the obstacles, hahahahahahaha You dont go to sleep on our roads,

We have trees and leaves. Lots of deer around here. That's what you really have to watch out for.
