    Hi everyone,
    for a new movie, my friends and me have been pretty busy the last weeks. Here's now the first teaser of what we did during a three weeks journey through the magnificent Pyrenean Mountain range. Make sure to watch in HD. Enjoy!

    Thanks mate and sorry to say that the Med needs some more time till I can continue. I hope you accept my apologies. I'll be back as soon as I find enough time.

    Read you soon

    It will be more than worth the wait! We are of course all jealous that you ride so much in so many great places that completing reports becomes difficult! :D

    Ah, and no (because some people were asking): There was no support crew in cars. Just the three of us, three bikes and all the gear on it. Including this little toy.

    Right at the beginning of our trip, at Cape Creus we bumped into one of the coolest guys I've ever met. Neil and his sidecar mixture of Suzuki-Harley-Disco blew everyone away. For sure the best audio system ever on a bike :D

    Hi everyone,
    as you know two friends of mine have been working on this road movie project for some month and now that the work is done I'd like to thank all those who've kindly supported us with a little photo gallery.
    So lean back and enjoy watching what we've experienced on roads and tracks across the Pyrenees.

    We've started our trip at Cabo de Gata, the north-easternmost point of Spain. We're heading along the magnificent coastal road towards France.

    Leaving the coast behind the strange fortresses of the Cathares rise on the crests of the Corbieres-Mountains. The fortresses and the destiny of the Cathares belong to some weired European history. And conspiracy is not far if you read about them. Dan Brown (Sakrileg - The Da Vinci Code) turned the Cathar-story into a bestseller.

    Not far from the castles of the Cathars, nature and roadbuilders have united to create a monument of sorts: in the Galamus gorge, the Agly stream has cut itself a babbling bed in the limestone barrier between the mountains of Corbières and the Fenouillet valley.

    Col de Puymorens on the way to Andorra offers perfect alpine riding conditions. Superb tarmac, almost no traffic ...

    The last rays of sun are breaking over the mountains as we cross Port d'Envalira into Andorra.

    From Andorra we take the off-road track to Alins in Spain. That area is still a place for crooks ... and vultures.

    Thank you for your kind replies.
    Just found out, that I forgot to insert some pics from the first part of the journey yesterday:


    The Cabo de Creus is a magnet for all sorts, from tourists to die-hard hippies and drop-outs – and plenty of people who call themselves both. Neill from the UK, is one of them. In the sidecar of his positively biblical Suzuki, you’ll find not just his lounge and his bedroom, but a sound-system he attached as part of what he calls a mission. In a state induced by an overdose of mind-expanding substances, he found his brain telling him to start driving around the world with a motorbike disco and put people in a good mood as he went.

    The coast road to Collioure is an absolute cracker.

    In our favourite basecamp in Prades(F) we've met one of the most interesting pillions. Helmet: Ex-handball. Goggles: Kiddy ski goggles

    Ride on little tiger!


    Leaving Prades towards Sournia takes us along the Orgues d'Ille

    In the morning, the restplace near Ria shows off with a beautiful sunrise.

    Cheers for today
