„An exceptional experience in Switzerland."
This will be your comment after you finished the 2008 Swiss 500 Miles ride.
We assure you that the organisation team will do everything to make this event unforgettable for you.
What is the idea behind the Swiss 500 miles?
After the participation of four crazy Swiss guys at the 2006 Antwerp Diamond Port Chapter 500 Miles in Belgium they came up with the idea, that such a crazy thing has to be done in Switzerland as well. On top of it we have also some really nice mountain roads to conquer. In order to make this possible an interest group (IG swiss500miles) was formed from bikers of all directions; HD-Clubs, HOG, MC, Freebiker, you name it. The IG swiss500miles is supported by Harley Davidson Switzerland.
The Swiss 500 miles means to drive within 24 hours 500 miles (805km) through Switzerland starting on a Saturday afternoon and finishing by Sunday afternoon.
The idea has now become a reality in Switzerland for Harley/Buell Bikers who really love and know how to ride their bikes.
The reward? Material wise just a pin. But a exceptional experiences to be told amongst your riding buddy’s. However, only those participants completing the tour and arriving back in Zürich in due time will obtain the pin as a remembrance.
What is the challenge about? Guided with a road book, the participants (in groups or individually) will drive through Switzerland (please remember to bring a Switzerland roadmap). Several checkpoints will have to be searched for (at each checkpoint, the participant will receive the address of the next checkpoint).
All we can say now is ride safe and have fun.
