Latest EntryMission Objectives
The Route
Depart Basel and penetrate the Alps, descending into Italy through mountain passes, inland ridgelines, and coastal corridors. Continue south through Tuscany, Lazio, and Campania, cross to Sicily, and reach Palermo. Prioritize secondary roads, geographic transitions, and terrain diversity over direct transit.
The Philosophy
Reject efficiency. Select roads based on topography, isolation, and visual exposure. Favor elevation, curvature, and remoteness. Avoid motorways unless structurally necessary. Every deviation is intentional. The objective is full immersion in terrain, not arrival speed.
The Goal
Execute a continuous solo motorcycle expedition from Basel to Palermo. Document each stage with geospatial accuracy, visual records, and written logs. Create a permanent record of the route, the conditions, and the progression across Europe's vertical and coastal landscapes.
