Hardalpitour - Classic
Anyone interested in teaming up. You’d need to be at the older end of the spectrum and enjoy a steady ride - and, by all accounts, have some extra lights! If I can get it together (minimum team is 3 riders) I’ll be riding my very heavily modded 1981 R80G/S. More info at https://www.over2000riders.com/en/viagg ... discovery/. 2019 details/dates not published yet as far as I can see.

What's older end of the spectrum.... I'm 43 used to ride motocross and have a 1150gs. Enjoy going to gym etc. And consider myself fit n healthy. This sounds like fun but not done it before....
Obviously I won't join you if.younare on smaller bikes wanting for faster times... as 1150 is a bit of a monster for quick offroading I guess.

Re: Hardalpitour - Classic
You probably need to go to the gym to ride an 1150gs off road! I used to have one myself and the only off road I ever attempted ended in disaster.
The classic version is the less difficult tour of the three offered which I understand means less kilometres, less off road and less night time riding, so probably better suited to ordinary mortals riding overweight bikes. I know there are those out there who need to do the extreme tour on a 1200gs on bald road tyres and only dipped beam working but I’m not one of them

Re: Hardalpitour - Classic
Hi Mike,
I live in France - a mere 8.5 hour trip from Sanremo where the Hardalpi starts.
A 950 Ktm would be ideal for this sort of trip from what I’ve seen. The tour runs in September but not sure of the dates for 2019 yet.
Teams of 3 or 4 can enter.

Re: Hardalpitour - Classic
The dates for 2019 are 6th to 8th September. There aren’t many more details for the event but assuming it’s run along similar lines to this year’s then I think I’ll probably enter the Discovery class.
Re: Hardalpitour - Classic
I might be up for this. 43 with an 1150gs. Looking for folks with similar bikes to attempt this.
