Many of us know and appreciate Sardinia for how splendidly it shows itself in the summer, but this time I wanted to go beyond what I already know. After a period of research, the choice fell on Sardinia Rides. The friendly SR crew led by Federico, took us to enchanting places, where the island still shows its rustic and sometimes wild side, panoramic points where you can admire from the mountains to the sea, fascinating historical/archaeological sites. To enjoy all this, we rode excellent roads at a “good pace”… yes, the ones we motorcyclists like so much… and then dirt roads, sheep tracks, long off-road stretches that are sometimes even technical (there is an alternative if you want); excellent food on a farm or packed lunch. Royal Enfields? Don't be prejudiced, and these “small” bikes will win you over; the Himalayan 411 is simple, unstoppable and expresses a healthy retro taste when riding, while the Himalayan 450 is high-performance, comfortable and absolutely modern. Well…have fun!
