MONKEETRIP x WM A.C

In June 2012 our crew from Wrenchmonkees went across Europe to test our own Nordic Work Wear tailored by Kansas. Driving, wrenching and sleeping in our own garments for 10 days proved for us what works and what doesn´t. This is how it went…

ALARM ALARM !!

OK, we missed our train from Hamburg to Innsbruck, but decided to take the long trip on the German and French highway, holy moly it has been raining for three days, but we made our fist destination "Le Camp Moto".. Due to the long trip and our wet luggage we have decided to stay here and have a few sunny days, one machine has broken down and we will fix that before continuing. Friday we will continue and follow the sun and warm weather..

Hi, For day 7 of your trip, I would recommend to stay overnight at www.las-clauzes.de. That's a really lovely hotel for bikers (mostly BMW GS) with a tent place. It is situated between Narbonne and Carcassone. I stay there every year several times. And I am tourguide there in the summer. Just ask Holger, because they have full house quite often during the season. Enjoy your trip! Regards, Alex

Hi guys nice to hear you're planing on traveling! I live in Switzerland and want to ask why you're missing out on the stelvio pass? you're passing Davos, and by going south to Italy you can ride the Ofen-Pass and then head down into Italy to drive the Stelvio Pass; both are spectacular. You then could turn back or head over the Reschenpass (Racines) directly to Innsbruck. Okay, for you the other way round: Innsbruck, Brenner, Reschenpass, Stelvio pass, Ofenpass, Davos. Definitely worth it, the nicest big passes in the Swiss/Austrian alps. The route you're taking might be more direct and faster, but definitely boring as hell as those straight main roads were not built for having fun. Same applies for the rest of the route through the south-western part of Switzerland you take: not that spectacular, but guess you want to cover as much ground as possible in a day! sadly I live in Zurich and don't know if my old Moto Guzzi V from 1934 will make it up and down those passes, so I guess I won't be able to join you for your ride through Switzerland. But depending on where you pass Switzerland I might decide otherwise. Anyway: if you need further help and tips for Switzerland: I'd be glad to help! all the best to you guys!
