I've received an email from a hotel I use in Austria concerning upcoming events for the year. But it also mentions a proposal, presumably by local or regional government to close the Alpine passes in Austria and Germany to motorcycles. I'm guessing the accident rate must be a contributory factor driving the proposal, but I have to say in all the years I've been riding in Europe I've seen more bike accidents in the UK than the Alps. The email contained a link to a petition against such a move. It may be in our interests to give it a coat of looking at. This is the first I've heard of it, which doesn't make it a new thing of course. Does anyone know any detail ?
