Our group and
motorcycles chosen
Edelweiss has several makes and models of
motorcycles to choose from but the BMW
R1200 GS is the most popular option and
we saw hundreds of them on the roads
during our tour. All the bikes include side
bags to carry items during the day, and all
the bikes with two riders include a top trunk,
which is a greatly appreciated back rest for
the passengers. Our group of 14 riders/pas-
sengers and nine bikes included:
• Dan and Jaqueline, newlyweds from Las Vegas. They were
riding a Ducati Monster and Ducati Scrambler respectively.
• Bob and Susan, a couple from Michigan. Two-up on a BMW.
• Mike and Debby, a couple from Colorado. Two-up on a
BMW R1200 GS.
• Duane and Glenda, also from Colorado and friends of Mike
and Debby that "invited themselves" on the trip when they
heard about it over dinner. Two-up on a BMW R1200 GS.
• Mike and Cathy, a retired couple from Texas. Two-up on
a Ducati Multistrada 1200.
• Bill, a recently retired Connecticut fire fighter. BMW R1200 GS.
• Jay, a Connecticut riding buddy of Bill's. BMW GS.
• My wife and I rode two up on a BMW R1200 GS.

our two tour

riding tips, local
knowledge
of the roads,
restaurants,
coffee stops and
historical points
of interest made
the trip that much
more amazing.
