Doesn’t it feel like 2024 has only just begun? As if it were yesterday, I remember my spring hikes along blossoming apple trees and endless fields of dandelions. And now the calendar actually shows week 51 again. Will you look back on my 2024 with me?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My motorcycle year
 2024<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My motorcycle year 2024 was all about the Dolomites and nearby Switzerland. I rode my Ducati 748s<\/a> on the Sella and W\u00fcrzjoch Passes as well as in the Engadine for research and photo trips, while my Zero SR\/F<\/a> was used for the Umbrail, Ofen, Albula and Spl\u00fcgen Passes. Harley Davidson’s Road King<\/a>, which had been chassis-optimized over the winter, paid its sonorous respects to the major passes of central Switzerland (Oberalp, Susten, Grimsel, Furka, Gotthard) on a wonderful weekend tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have ambivalent memories of the days in the Dolomites. When I jokingly wrote about new restrictions on April 1st<\/a>, I had no idea how necessary they would actually be. A Sunday morning on the Sella Pass is an absolute traffic catastrophe, compulsory parking discs in the smallest parking bays and tow trucks at over 2000 meters above sea level were new to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found the balance in several, slowly driven tours through the side valleys of the Engadine, rides and hikes (yes, indeed on foot) on the Stelvio and Spl\u00fcgen Passes and extended writing sessions on the edges of alpine roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
