    Uly to Slovenia June 2023

    in the northwest part of Slovenia, near Krankska Gora is the highest pass in the country, Vrsic Pass ( https://maps.app.goo.gl/rR3mrApVrNoZdFuK9 ). The road was place over an existing goat path and built around 1918 by Russian POWs. Part of the original paving stones are in most of the corners...

    Uly to Slovenia June 2023

    the next day, I explored some backroads along the Slovenia/Austria border. And I mean back roads...single lane, 2 way traffic with no shoulder. But, it was nice (but slow) riding. A waterfall near Zell-Pfarre Austria. artys fartsy. I had passed this sign before...I don't speak German...

    Uly to Slovenia June 2023

    During WW2, Slovenia was part of the German empire. As such, there was a large concentration camp in north central (now) Slovenia. thousands slaved away and died building a tunnel thru the Alps. https://maps.app.goo.gl/q2Z3y7Q1ESjPzvR5A It was late afternoon, I don't like riding at night...

    Uly to Slovenia June 2023

    I had stopped for some taters and a local sausage and rustled up some grub. some after dinner reading...don't hate me but I enjoy the occasional manga novel. Nice view for dinner. the next day, I beat feet to some backroads...the more obscure the better. nice views. this was...

    Uly to Slovenia June 2023

    After the spring trip to Abruzzo, I started planning a trip to Slovenia. Part of the EU and home of the eastern edge of the Alps (the "Julian Alps"), it has fantastic riding, is cheaper than most of the rest of europe and the backroads are relatively empty. I left home and crossed into Austria...

    Uly to Abruzzo (Italy) April 2023

    i've had a few tents and i'll never own another PU coated tent as I've had the PU coating fail. The hilleberg is miles ahead of even my Mountain Hardware tent and second only to our Springbar Traveler canvas tent (wholly unsuited to moto camping). this hilleberg is not free standing but I prefer...

    Uly to Abruzzo (Italy) April 2023

    I packed up dry for the ride home but the rain was moving in quickly. I rode over one nearby minor pass and found this old shepherds hut. Notice that it's just stacked stones with no mortar and on the right side is a staircase built into the structure...and i can hardly get the Uly battery...

    Uly to Abruzzo (Italy) April 2023

    the daylight was getting short and I continued on with my modified plan to make a loop. Nope! another road closure due to not being cleared. I rerouted and got back to camp just as the sun set. the next day, I rode south and west into some more obscure passes. along the way, there were...

    Uly to Abruzzo (Italy) April 2023

    The Gran Sasso National Park can be busy in the spring and summer with hikers and in the late fall and winter with skiers...i was right in the slot in late april between the groups. https://www.gransassolagapark.it/Eindex.php after passing the town above, the road went over the mountain and...

    Uly to Abruzzo (Italy) April 2023

    I awoke to a nice sunrise and the temps were in the high 40's, not too bad for April. the morning route was to go over Passo Lanciano (the snow capped mountain in the pic above). the turn for the Pass was interesting. there was still lots of snow at the top and even one lift was open for...

    Uly to Abruzzo (Italy) April 2023

    As soon it warmed up, I secured a kitchen pass a pointed Buell-ah south to the Abruzzo region. the first stop was in Chieti a nice little town in the foothills of the Apennines and home to Luca and Custom Buell Service. https://buellservice.com/ Luca has some cool projects ongoing...

    Uly to Swiss Alps, last moto camping trip of the year (October 2023)

    My last night camping was in Splugen, Switzerland on Spulgen Pass. there's a nice, high speed tunnel thru the pass but the moto's should take the old pass road thru the canyon. the last night's dinner was some local sausage and some vegetables because my wife says I should eat more...

    Uly to Swiss Alps, last moto camping trip of the year (October 2023)

    I left the Matterhorn behind and rode back across the St Bernard Pass (the old road). Swiss side of the old St Bernard Pass rode...it's seen better days. The next day, I rode thru the Rhone Valley from Martigny to Andermatt; there were lots of scenic villages. Once thru Andermatt...

    Uly to Swiss Alps, last moto camping trip of the year (October 2023)

    I got the new strap installed in about an hour with my tool kit. By the time I got cleaned up, it was nearly noon and I had to revise my route but the riding was still nice. the view for the middle of the night nature call was spectacular. I decided to ride back into Italy and up...

    Uly to Swiss Alps, last moto camping trip of the year (October 2023)

    I got a record third kitchen pass for a moto trip so I loaded up Buell-ah and headed to the mountains. I picked a campsite up a dead end valley (Val Ferret) on the NE side of Mont Blanc and just south of Martigny, Switzerland. I arrived around 1600 and the sun was already setting behind the...

    Uly to Passo Stelvio (Italy) August 2022

    LoL. In the last 3 years/20k miles, I've not been stranded so I got that going for me. Yeah, that reverse concept of the aeropress is an advanced technique for sure! I find trip planning almost as much fun as the actual trip, it's good work.

    Uly to Italy, Austria Alps September 2021

    I won't say the GG is a racetrack because it's not. But, if you get some clear road nobody cares what you do as long as you stay in your lane and don't crash. With roads like this, it's tough not to cut loose...I usually make several runs on this section and try to get in with a fast group...

    Uly to Italy, Austria Alps September 2021

    This is one of the first views of the Grossglockner glacier (technically the Franz Joseph glacier). The GG is toll road, it's about $30 for a day of riding...pure bliss. The peak is amazing. I walked around the parking area and thought I heard an accordion...yup, some dude in...
