AltRider in Italy - Adventures

Every motorcycle rider has a trip they'd love to take, but it often seems expensive or difficult to plan. AltRider's Jeremy LeBreton and Brianna Home decided to do it anyway, and with two good friends rode two BMW R 1200 GSs through Northern Italy and the famous Stelvio Pass.

With only five days of vacation time and a real-life budget, the four ate delicious food, enjoyed beautiful scenery, and conquered some of the hardest and best roads in Europe. An epic trip can still be easy to plan and inexpensive.

Both BMW R 1200 GSs were outfitted in AltRider products: AltRider crash bars, skid plate, oil cooler guard, headlight guard, potentiometer guard, rear brake master cylinder guard, rear brake reservoir guard, side stand foot.

Fantastic video, I could have watched for hours. I have been to the area on vacation before but unfortunately rented a car not a bike. The entire time I was driving I wanted to be on a bike, especially near the Como Bellagio area. Another AMAZING place to visit and ride is the Cinque Terre region, with beautiful coastal mountain passes and quaint little towns that don't allow cars!

Hah! I've ridden these roads and own ALT rider gear for my black Multistrada...plus my video buddy lives in Bergamo.

Cool, looked like a great ride. Its a dream of mine to tour Europe on a motorcycle some day. Some day when the kids are grown and out.

Nice video, thanks for posting it.
