Default Riding in the Swiss Alps (pics)

I am very fortunate that I currently live in Switzerland and have the Swiss Alps and some AMAZING riding literally 20 mins from my front door.

Went for a ride the other morning for lack of anything better to do, here's some pics to make y'all jealous

Default and a few more...



Was a really wind day, enough to raise waves on the Luzern lake.

I was there in 2010 at the Swiss Harley Days in Lugano. Beautiful place and fantastic roads too.

Was in Lugano myself at that time, absolutely bucketed rain on Saturday evening, but stopped just in time for Gotthard to come on stage.
Cant actually remember getting back to my campsite after the concert...

I certainly remember the rain on Saturday night. Had to shelter in a bar tent !! A big change from the day before when I arrived into heavy traffic. I almost melted with the heat from the engine. Great weekend though.

On the friday I came down from Gotthard pass and the heat in Lugano was just incredible! The glue that held the sole onto my right boot actually softened and the sole parted company with my boot! Had to buy new boots in Lugano!

Swiss Harley days this year is in Brunnen, where I took the second post of pics.
