Walter Van Lierde
Memorial Tour 2009

Walter completed 6 SAP Tours including
2 SAP Tour X-treme's. As well as many other
Euro Tour's and Benelux Tours.
Not only were alpine motorbike tours his passion but
this also extended into many winter time trips
into the Alps for skiing.

The mountains were like a magnet for Walter.
He was constantly searching for new challenges
and adventures to expand his horizons and experiences.

In 2006 Walter approached me with a concept for a new
alpine motorbike tour which he believed would be exciting
as well as challenging for experienced riders like himself.

His concept was to travel through the
most demanding alpine regions in western Europe
in one tour and take on as many passes and routes as possible.

To get a tour of this nature together needed
a lot of planning, and as both of our schedules
were full at that time the concept was put on hold.

Time has gone by and tragically for all of us,
Walter's untimely departure has left a great space.

To this day his concept to travel through the most
demanding alpine regions in  western Europe
has remained and with Diana's blessing,
the concept Walter van Lierde Memorial Tour
has now become a reality
