A perfect day in umbria
In Umbria a 215 kilometer itinerary around Perugia is accessible for motorbikes through secondary and dirt roads that flank lakes, historic cities, hills and small valleys. It is suitable for any type of motorcycle, preferably for an enduro. If keeping yourself out of private properties, which are clearly marked, no one will be upset even if you are riding on smaller tracks – given that you are respecting everyone else with less horsepower!

Enduro riding in Umbria
Hi Folks, it‘s been a long time ago that I had the time to go for an enduro adventure. This time I will take along my sweetheart, and visit some friends in Umbria. Just getting there will be a 700kms ride, 90% on highways. But the reward will be some awesome offroad riding. So let‘s see how this is going to work with my KTM1190.

Albanian Memories
A little reminiscence of our last trip to Albania. Originally I had planned to come back this year, but due to the “virus” it is uncertain wether this is going to be possible.

Tirana we are coming!
One lesson that we learned from our Albania adventure 2 years ago was the painfulness of a fully charged enduro in rough terrain.
On September, 9 we are going to be back, but this time we will move into a nice Albanian villa in the surroundings of Tirana, using it as a headquarter for our trips into the back country.
Stay tuned, we will soon report our tracks, adventures, mishaps, …
For now, just a sneak preview of the planned tracks.
Cheers,
Ralf
Zürich Gumbies in Albania
During September 2016 I had once again the opportunity to visit Albania on motorcycle with a group of friends. And once again I experienced this country as one of the most underestimated travel destinations. Many regions are completely wild, in the best case with some gravel roads.

A Scrambler in the Dolomites
A small clip about my last year’s weekend trip with my Ducati Scrambler to the Dolomites, maybe the most spectacular place in the Alps.
