Learn to Ride the High Mountains of Europe

Bike Tour Germany can teach you to ride the High Mountain twisty's and hairpin curves of the High Alpines in Austria. The ride is 2.5 hours between Munich and Grossglockner High Alpine. The roadway is open until October each year.

My buddy TJ lived in California before returning to Germany and he's well qualified to make your dream of high mountain European motorcycle travel a reality. CK this out!

The season will soon come to a close for 2010.  The usual meeting point for the training ride is this car park, left of the toll booth, where a training group of riders met, August 18th.

This is one of the photos from TJ's Grossglockner 2010 - Picasa Album.

BikeTourGermany took a crew of riders to camp out at the 24 Hours of Le Mans Moto (24 Heures Moto,) April 17 & 18, 2010.

In keeping with tradition, the 33rd Le Mans 24 Hours for Motorcycles is the first round of the FIM Endurance World Championship consisting of five races in 2010.

The race has been held annually since 1978 on the Bugatti Circuit Le Mans, Sarthe, France.

The weather was warm when the riders rolled in. "Le Mans is a famous race and a famous track and it’s always exciting to be here," said tour guide-owner, Joerg Wenzel. "We are 30 meters from the track. That is how we enjoy 24 hr motorcycle races!"

Bike Tour Germany, owner Joerg Wenzel is attending the big IMOT MÜNCHEN, International Motorcycle Exhibition this weekend - Feb. 19 to 21, 2010 in Munich. "IMOT impresses," said Joerg in a Facebook message, Saturday.

Even though there is still snow on the ground, 50,000 to 70,000 bikers attend IMOT - the largest annual motorcycle event in Munich that signals the start of the South German motorcycle season.

"It's a great meeting spot for friends and clubs to get together to make plans for the coming season, see the newest motorcycles and stock up on new equipment for the riding season" said Joerg. His company, Bike Tour Germany offers guided tours of 1 or 2 days, or a week or longer in Germany, Switzerland and the Italian Alpines.

Having lived and worked in California for a number of years, Joerg speaks English as a second language and is a fan of American cars. He owns a ’95 Chevy Corvette Convertible and also a Chevy Van because his love of V8 Engines is only superseded by his love of motorcycle riding.
