A rider opens the throttle on a cool Lombardy morning, the lake at Lecco glinting like a steel coin below. Curved roads climb from the water’s edge, trees brushing the helmet as the pass tightens and the air thins. The motorcycle tour threads between alpine shoulders and valley floors, pausing at cliffside viewpoints where the mountains seem to lean in to watch.
