Riding the Alps in November
I know riding the Alps in winter sounds mad but the Alps are a part of the world I simply fell in love with and riding through them on a m/cycle must be one of the greatest experiences ever in life. However this year I plan to go to the Dolomites this November and am just trying to gather info of what the conditions will be like and what bike I should take etc. Normally I would go anywhere on my Honda XL700 Transalp which has just about toured the planet so far but as this is a rather large bike i was thinking of something smaller simply for the snow and ice. Looking at other members write ups I noticed one chap rides his CBR125 just about anywhere. I own a CBR250 so perhaps I should take that or on the other hand I do have access to a XT66R!! If anyone on the list has any experience of riding the Alps in winter i would love to hear of your experiences.
Thanks
