Default Ride the Alps 2013

The first weekend of June I participated in an event they do here in Germany at a very nice military resort in Garmisch. The resort sits on the edge of the German Alps, and is pretty close to the Austrian border. Every year, for the past seven years they have held an event call "Gear Up and Ride the Alps. I didn't get to go my first two years here in Germany, but this year a friend, my wife, and I made the trip and it was awesome. There were lots of Harleys, great food, plenty of drink, and amazing riding to be had. The poker run was about 180 miles of amazing roads through the German and Austrian alps. I put about 550 miles on my bike from Friday afternoon to Sunday around noon. It was a great trip. Thought I would share some pics, and the video I put together.

This Indian was a beautiful bike

Shots from the parking lot at the resort. There were still more bikes parked in the underground garage.

And the video

Hope you all enjoy the pics. Hopefully next year no matter where the Ride I'll be on a Harley

Very nice....looks like you had luck with the weather. We rode the Großglockner in May and had more rain than sunshine.
