Should have done 2 week trip with son-in law but he pulled out at last minute
Trip organised by Global Motor cycle tours (self guided) worth checking out out standing hotels and superb pre planned routes tacking probably the best and quietest routes and roads
 
Memories 😍 Went there in 2008 on my viffa. Great place to visit. Got overtaken by a lycra clad looney 🚲on the way down. I was qued up behind a coach though.
I guess the Glacier has shrunk a bit now🤔
 
Those changes of camera angle were making me feel seasick. Clever technology though.
 
Not long back from there, bloody loved it. Could actually take in the scenery, unlike the Stelvio where I was too busy concentrating to actually look about me. Stunning place.

I’ve never done Switzerland on a bike, I hear the speed limits are draconian.
Might go take a look one day.


Seen lots of videos such as “Two Qs one World”, linking up passes:

We visited CH September 2023 and due to bad planning on my behalf a Saturday/Sunday I was amazed on the main Furka Grimsal Tremola ( Pave pass) how devoid of Police and speed cameras the passes where .
Accommodation cost a bloody fortune.
Worth a visit just be careful?
 
Is he controlling the camera..?...
Or is it doing it it's self...clever stuff though....
Isnt the Insta 360 camera taking virtually 360 degree footage all the time. When you playback you can select the view you want. Then again I could be talking bo110x

Exactly just mounted it in different places took about 10 minutes. of footage each time then just edit it
 
Great little video.

Rode my 2013 GSA to Switzerland, Germany for work some years back and swung some holiday on too riding these main passes. They are mega and yes be careful for the cameras and noise rozzers.. Put your baffles in!

Plan to go back in 2026 post retirement and will base myself at a friend's place in Austria.

Just got back from a Euro tour planned by Global motorcycle tours (self guided), Tom does a first class job, highly recommended! The Swiss passes were the highlight, absolutely stunning roads and scenery, particularly enjoyed the Tremola cobbled pass.
