Hi there....

Doing BT023GT tyre test from 12'th May 2012 - 9 days!

Departure from Denmark (Odense) on Saturday 12 May (morning). Runs through Germany and Austria to  Garda "town" in Italy (Lake Garda). Expect to B&B in Garda "town" , and we tourer around in northern Italy. That include Stelvio, a trip to Ferrari and Ducati factories - plus we try to find some cultural insights as well.

If anyone wants to meet and ride with us - you're more than welcome.

We may organize the trip south with due respect for any who come from the United Kingdom, Belgium or France.

Cheers,
Hans

NINE DAYS?!!  And you are doing the Ducati and Ferrari factories?

Best of British/Danish luck with that!

Northern Italy down to Bologna will bore the pants off you!

(Would live to come, but I am already committed to a trip in June)

Ride on Mose  :biker3:

Hans, that sounds fantastic, and my partner Gillian would love that, she is a total Ferrari fan...The last btime I attempted the Stelvio was 21st June (longest day) 2009, and it was closed due to heavy snow, so we did the Kaunertal Pass instead, which was also covered in deep snow, and was very cold.

But we are also commited to a tour of Cornwall in June, whic is not so far away....but equally beautiful

Good luck with your trip and let us know how the BT023GT tyre test goes  :wink:

Thanks!

Stelvio should be driven- and passed on snowmobiles!  :clap:

Oh, by the way... Ferrari-visit is not "just another visit" - we have access to body-shop and test-track as well. I'm told that Ferrari F430 spider (in red) will be waiting for us.....

Just received the new Bridgestone BT023GT tyre(s) today - full blown review will be present stating june 12' ....
