I'll take the Tuscany, Italy trip first. But from there I would want to do a tour through the Alps...Austria, Switzerland into Germany and France from there. I could leave the rest if I could do that trip in my lifetime. But if I win the lottery, I'd do 'em all

Yep, I've ridden in 2 of those places (Italy and France), and can truly say that they are incredible roads and places to ride. Now I just need to get to the actual areas that the dude recommends and I'll be set.

Already did it when I was stationed in Germany. Beautiful place. I spent much more time on the slopes though skiing.

I would love to do the Vietnam and South Africa ones.

I went to Germany for a couple weeks back in 2000. Did a little touring in a car, got into the foothills of the Alps (Bavaria) and would so love to do that trip on a bike from Italy to France...in the summer Spent a couple weeks at Aviano Air base in Italy in 02 too. Wanted to go into Austria but didn't swing it that time. That's one thing I miss from being in the service, except that summer vacation in Kuwait

I was stationed near Frankfurt, but I spent ALOT of my weekends in Austria and Switzerland. Just an amazing place to live.
