Driving Tips from the Motorcycle Hotel Riederhof

Tips for riding a motorcycle in Alpine passes..
so you can really enjoy your motorcycle holiday in
Tyrol!

Generally, prior to beginning tours in the Alps, the motorcycle should be completely checked over to be sure it is mechanically and technically sound for long trips. Do not worry, this is not a technical check at the garage, but simply observation and attention to details of your motorcycle.
  • First of all: the tires, how many kilometres have you already driven with these tires? Are they beginning to show signs of wear and tear? Nothing is more unpleasant than having to buy and change a tire when you are on holiday.
  • Similarly, the chain, if there is one on your motorcycle, the tension should be checked and adjusted accordingly. Although modern O-ring chains do have a very long life, at some point they will also begin to deteriorate.
  • In the Alps, where winding roads are on the daily agenda, one must consider what the expected daily output will be. Even for experienced motorcyclists a distance of 350-400 km is quite a lot, especially if you want to stop and observe the scenery once in a while. And this is, after all, the purpose and real intention when going on a motorcycle tour.
  • A reasonable accurate planning the evening before is a must, and good maps are a prerequisite for those who do not just want to dive into regions he knows nothing about or where they are located. This is particularly essential if you are not from this area and have never driven these roads before. If well-known, frequented areas, however, we recommend simply leaving the maps at home once in a while to feel the genuine sense of freedom motorcycling can give! Nothing is more thrilling than to following smaller roads, without knowing exactly where they lead.
