25 years of "New ideas for the motorbike" / 1924 pages with lots of new items
 Twenty-five years ago, a passion for travelling in far-off countries, a passion for riding motorbikes, and a simple delight in creating new things resulted in the founding of Touratech. In 2015, the Black forest based supplier of motorbike parts and equipment celebrates its 25th anniversary, something that also features in the new catalogue: with a new record of 1924 pages that are bursting with products and ideas and 200,000 issues in five languages, it brings the whole world of motorbike travel into your own four walls.
The Touratech 2015/2016 anniversary catalogue contains innovative accessories for lots of new motorbike models such as the BMW R nineT, the Honda NC 700/750, Honda VFR 1200 X Crosstourer and the Suzuki V-Strom 1000; exciting new developments for the BMW R 1200 GS / Adventure, the KTM 1190 Adventure or the Yamaha Super Ténéré, and innovations for chassis, luggage, seat comfort and rider equipment.
The brand new aluminium pannier ZEGA Mundo, MX Light gloves and the new Touratech helmet Aventuro Carbon that transforms from an airy cross to a universal enduro or comfortable integral helmet in moments, are other new arrivals. And of course, there is also a new clothing collection to mark the anniversary, which is going to be celebrated in style at the Touratech Travel Event in Niedereschach / South Germany.
All this and much more is to be found in the new Touratech catalogue, which also has the usual comprehensive editorial section. With travel reports from countries including Africa, the USA, India and Cuba; a review of the Travel Event in Niedereschach and the International BMW Motorrad GS Trophy in Canada, plus a detailed look at the history of Touratech, it is perfect for a quiet sit-down with a coffee.
To help readers navigate their way through this mammoth publication, the Touratech catalogue now has a detailed index and a clear table of contents. While the first section is dedicated to special parts for specific motorbikes, with individual models sorted alphabetically and in descending order of engine size, it is followed by the chapters on luggage, seats, Touratech suspension and universal motorcycle accessories, then rider, travel and navigation equipment.
Two hundred thousand copies of the 1924-page 2015/2016 Touratech catalogue have been printed in five different languages, and it will be available at all the major trade shows and events where Touratech will be present as well as from Touratech distributors. Copies can be ordered by telephone, e-mail or via the internet – free of charge, as always – and the catalogue is also available online at www.touratech.com. This version also works with smartphones or tablets.

Life changing experiences don't come along very often, however bikers now have the great opportunity to make one for themselves, with a sensational motorcycle trip around Europe!
 Discover all Europe has to offer in a euphoric once-in-a-lifetime adventure around beautiful locations, including a vast amount of inspiring routes along France, Norway, Italy and Switzerland. There is so much to see, and so much open road to indulge in.
Adventure
Built for riding, the Stelvio Pass, located in Italy, at 2,757m is the highest paved mountain pass in the Eastern Alps, and the second highest in the Alps. With 48 hairpin turns on the northern side, and 12 on the southern side, this ravishing run takes riders through fantastic stretches of Alpine scenery, and many beautiful kilometers of fast and sweeping roads, before arriving at the foot of the pass. Once on the pass itself, each of the turns are numbered with stones, so those on this fantastic journey can count their way to the top, just keep one eye on the road!
Another fantastic route for bikers is through, Trollstigen, a very motorbike-friendly mountain road in Rauma, Norway, part of Norwegian National Road 63 connecting Soggeberget in Rauma and Valldal in Norddal. It has a steep incline of 9% and eleven hairpin bends up a steep mountain side. Trollstigen was opened for riders on July 31, 1936, by King Haakon VII after 8 years of construction. The road up is narrow with many sharp hairpins, and although it has been widened in the past few years, vehicles over 12.4 metres long are prohibited from driving the road. Bikers can park up for a pit-stop at the car park at the top, and walk for about ten minutes to an iron viewing balcony which overlooks the road, with all its bends and the Stigfossen waterfall, which drops 320 metres down the mountain side. Although Trollstigen is closed during the Autumn and Winter months, and a normal opening season stretches from mid-May to October, those travelling its exceptioanl outstretches can make the most of it during the brighter summer periods of the year. This is a must-ride road, but its just worth remembering to time it right! 
A trip for those looking to stay a little closer to home in the UK will enjoy this worthwhile trek. The Cat And Fiddle is a road in England running between Buxton, Derbyshire and Macclesfield, Cheshire, named after The Cat and Fiddle Pub, at its summit. Formed by parts of the A537, A54 and A53, it is famous for its stunning scenic views across the Greater Manchester conurbation, Peak District National Park and the Cheshire Plain and for its many bends and corners. It seems to be particularly attractive to motorcyclists because of the frequency and severity of the bends, and is regularly classed as the most dangerous road in the UK.
For a break from all the hectic travelling, riders can make a stop off at Casino Marbella along a journey across Granada, which is situated in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain. As well as the surrounding beauty, there is a genuine buzz around the casino scene. All the top games like poker, which are featured on online casino games at Euro Palace and other sites, can be found at the Spanish city. Only only one hour from the Mediterranean coast, the city of Granada is placed at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains, This area is characterised by volcanic rock formations, lava flows, volcanic domes, and volcanic calderas. A great ride through natural beauty.
