Trippin on 2 wheels
 
I'm watching this neat show on Speed TV where these 3 guys rent bikes somewhere in the world and ride them around to some neat places. I'm watching an episode now where they ride from venice through the swiss mountains and into the Alps on Aprillias. The last episode I saw was them riding across canada on buells

Trippin’ on Two Wheels is a beautifully crafted series of five, 60-minute specials on SPEED Channel about motorcycle touring in spectacular locations around the world.

The programs take you along with television personality, Dennis Gage, his teenage son, Sam, and motorcycle photojournalist, Neale Bayly, as they ride throughout Europe and North America on the latest motorcycles and let you look in on their experiences. The series also chronicles Sam’s coming of age from a mere passenger on the back of his dad’s bike to riding world-class machines of his own.

The four-day rides are loosely structured and the routes taken focus on back roads and out-of-the-way places rather than typical tourist destinations. Unforeseen circumstances often present some interesting challenges along the way. Episodes have been shot in Scotland, Sicily, Spain, Quebec, and Italy/Switzerland.

Life’s an adventure. Grab it by the handlebars.

I just watched the Italy / Swiss show that came on after Canada.
I've been wanting to do the Alps for 35 years.

I bet it'd be 1000X better if it wasn't on speed...

Probably true.

They did 5 episodes of that show. The Italy one was the best scenic and road wise...I'd give nearly anything to get a chance to go back to europe and tour on a motorcycle. I got into the Bavarian Alps a little when I was there in '00. Would love to go from there through Switzerland and Austria into Italy!!!
