A couple of my best riding buds and I are planning a 2-3 week bike trip through the Alps in 2001. We are in the beginning stages of gathering information and are turning up questions that you guys may have experience with or know someone who does.
1. Best tour company? We are currently looking at Edelweiss Bike Travel, Motorcycle Adventures “Beach’s Toursâ€, Warren Motorcycle Transport and Lotus Tours (they rent Ducati’s). All options seem to come with a “chase†vehicle, provide various routes, etc. Anyone have experience with these or others?
2. Rent a bike or ship my own bike? It seems that shipping my own bike will cost about $2,000. Pluses are that I get to ride MY bike. Minuses are that if it breaks down, I may be stuck, plus the additional expense of shipping. I’m not sure I want to ride a BMW for two to three weeks through some of the best roads in the world.
3. Recommended “Must See†sites roads etc?
