What a beautiful couple beautiful English speaking and powerful bike ❤❤
Welcome to our channel, glad to have you along for the ride 😎👍 Thanks very much!
Awesome . , same route we did 6 years ago . Forgotten how great it was . We ended up in San Vigilo . Hotel Condor . What a party !!
Yeah good to be reminded of it 😊. Sounds like you had a great ride and a fun night 😎🙌🏻
Just saw your viedos for the first time and love them. Next i will be going from malta to italy slovania croatia and back. Thinking about 2 to 3 weeks. Using my kawasaki z750
Hi, great to hear that you liked the videos and we hope they are a help to place you trip. Sounds like a great trip! Slovenia is a beautiful country and the Croatian coastline is spectacular! That's a great bike too, nice and sporty but comfortable for longer journeys. Thanks for your comment and we hope you have an awesome trip! 🙂
Great vids
Thanks Neil! Are you heading there this year? 😎👍
Breathtaking roads and views!
Yeah this was a spectacular day! And our friends from New Zealand did great! This was their first time riding big mountain passes here in Europe.
Wow worthy!!! Thank you so much. What a treat ❤
So glad you enjoyed it 😊 thanks very much!
As a Swiss cyclist just returning from a ride I thought "Stelvio, Klausen, Fluela and Umbrail Pass..." wow that's incredible...
... then I saw the R1250, which put everything into perspective again ;-)
The route is indeed incredibly beautiful and a bit off the usual tourist routes, like Susten, Gotthard, Nufenen, Furka etc.
We did see a lot of Cyclists on those passes -big respect to you guys! The Swiss mountain passes are incredibly beautiful and we are very grateful to live here. Glad you enjoyed the video. All the best Sean and Emily
I think that Manghen pass is more challenging going up on its northern side southbound
Yeah you're probably right, it's a lot narrower but at least less there's less traffic on that one in comparison.
Watching this video made me having problems of choosing between going to Iceland or this stunning route in 2024. Your videos usually have a very high standard of quality, but i think this is on it´s own level.
Hey Johan, ohhhh that’s a difficult decision 🤔
Iceland is truly spectacular! (We hired a Suzuki Jimny and drive around the country)
Really glad to hear you enjoyed this one 😊🙌🏻
We did the Dolomites & Stelvio last year. We stayed in the valley for 2 nights so got to hit Stelvio several times over that period. The hidden little secret is Umbrail - so many people ride past the turn off, it is a great ride down to the other side. We are planning another tour next year to explore more of the Alps and down the Adriatic coast. It's such a different land to where we live in Western Australia. Keep up the great work we are enjoying your travels.
Hi, sounds like a great trip! it's really good as you did when you can stay in the area as it can be difficult to pick which passes to ride if one is just passing through. I've been to Australia many years ago so yeah i see it's a big contrast -actually we are very overdue another visit Australia is an amazing country =)
Thanks for your kind words and support. If you need any additional ideas for your next tour of the alps there^s a few more passes here :

It was epic!! Cheers

You need a word with YT. Been watching bike content on here for years & today is the first time (as far as I'm aware at least) your channel has come up. Just watched you Susten Pass & now this. All places I've been in the past on many different bikes, but what ever bike, always an amazing trip.
From the UK last year, we went down to Montreux, round Geneva then on to Chamonix, avoiding all major roads and always taking the long way to get from A to B.
Did a few smaller trips this year mainly UK, next main trip Spain again next year, ferries all booked. But watching this, seriously thinking about an extra long weekend down here again, I love these Passes and got photos of different bikes at the top of most...
Keep the great content coming, cheers.... 👍👍👍
Hi Jon and welcome to our channel! Haha I will let them know lol 😆 totally agree with you there, the passes are amazing no matter what one is riding, sounds like a great trip you did I hope the weather was good for you!
Our friends hired the bikes from BMW basel so a fly in long weekend would be perfect for hitting the passes!
We not long got back from Spain, in case you are still researching fir done places here’s our heading south playlist, would be cool to hear what you think about it. Cheers and best regards Sean & Emily

Hi again,
Yep, slowly going through your past content now, all looks amazing, I'll give you an update when I've got through them all.
Got to admit I prefer to ride to places, not one for flying anywhere, anymore...
Really looking forward to Spain, done it to death, but still roads there not riden. Best is Sad Hill Cemetery, if your a fan of, The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, just over from Burgos.
Have a great & safe trip, just about to watch your latest, 'Abandoned boarder pass', out of viewing order I know, but hey... Cheers...

That was stunning guys! Didn’t realise I’ve done that road until you stopped in Davos, it was over 25 years ago and the Stelvio was in need of repair , it was a bit of. Nightmare to be honest , nice to be watching from home because I missed most of the scenery when riding those roads , I do remember the amount of concentration needed to ride the passes , well done , another great video and brilliantly edited, Graham L
Hi Graham, that’s so very true sometimes when concentrating we miss the scenery 😁 -that’s why we love making these afterwards to relive the experience. That’s a pain of a place to need repairs -I hope you got it fixed!
Cheers Sean and Emily
Amazing and really stunning views especially from the Stelvio 🥰 thank you so much for sharing the wonderful impressions. Hope to see you on the road one day or on the next Touratech Travel Event 🍀🤞🤘🙏😎🤙
Thanks for your comment and we are really glad you enjoyed it!! Yeah that would be cool -see you at the 2024 travel event if not before on the road 😎🙌🏻
Enjoyed watching this video. We (my wife and me) have driven the Stelvio a few years ago on our sidecar. Really enjoyed that ride.😎👍
Hi Ruud, thanks! Great to hear you enjoyed it 😊. That’s awesome, I’ve never ridden a sidecar -is it more difficult on the steep tight turns than a two wheeler? -I would love to have a go of one 😎👍🏻
It's a completely different way of riding. I only can advise you to get a ridingcourse from a qualified instructor. He/She will explain the ins and outs of sidecarriding. You will be surprised how much fun it is. It would also be a nice oppertunity for Emily to share this experience. Maybe a new way of transport for future adventures. I do ride my sidecar for almost 16 years now, with a total motorcycle experience for about 41 years, and still with great pleasure. Have fun and stay safe.
Thanks Ruud, very interesting. Wow you must really enjoy it -that's great to hear! I think if Emily got in a sidecar she might be tempted to have a sleep and we would have half the footage heheh 😊.
Holy macaroni 😱
These mountains 🏔️ , the roads , 🤩
Ps : got to love the engine brake on the GS/A & RT 😏
They are amazing places!!! No matter how many times we go there they always amaze us! =)
Hehe yes agreed! The engine braking is fantastic! -almost do need to actually brake heheh
This is amazing great watch
hello from Evans mum
Hello Evan's Mum! It's so nice to have you watching, we had such a great time riding the swiss and Italian alps with Evan and Wendy! Lovely to hear from you 😊
Good analysis of the Stelvio. Rode it in July, and agree, it's very technical. The Grosglockner in Austria is my favourite pass to date.
Great videos 👍
Hi, thanks for your comment oh yeah the Grossglockner is a good one! 😎🙌🏻
Cheers
Sean & Emily
Just discovered your channel - truely superb. Keep up the great work, and ride safe.
Thanks for your comment and welcome to the channel 😊. Currently in Norway working on the next big series. Cheers Sean and Emily 😎🙌🏻
Nice video well edited and well narrated - it’s a lovely area to ride and you are right lots of bikers head for the better known areas so the traffic is usually light.
Hi, thanks so much for your comment and encouragement!
We really like riding these at either the start or end of the season, but in the evening was good too. Best regards Sean and Emily 😎🙌🏻
Epic episode! I sooo need to get back to Switzerland.... so many awesome passes, so little time! Looks like you're doing a similar route to the one I took last year, except in reverse. Can't wait for part 3... 👍
Thanks!!! Yeah Switzerland is a special place, so many amazing passes it’s hard to pick a favourite 😎 glad you had a good time!
You got in 4 of the best. Although I did like the Susten Pass.
Yeah the Susten is pretty good too! At the end of this playlist we also take in the Furka and Grimsel - it's too difficult to choose a favorite 😎👍
Thanks for watching Bill and we appreciate your comments.
Epic!
Thanks Kevin!
Great vid again 👍 I think the Stelvio is overrated : although it is a must do, it is not the most “fun” to ride, especially going North to South. The other side to or from Bormio is more fun 😉 The Umbrail is on the contrary very underrated. And the gravel end of it made it even more special to ride (that was less than 15 years back). The bottom of the Splugenpass is very technical too.
In the Dolomites, my favorite pass is the Giau, and the Gardena - Sella - Pordoi (with the view from up there as a reward 🤩)
Thanks very much! Yeah totally agree with you there, unless ridden in the late afternoon when it’s empty it’s not the most enjoyable of rides but for sure 👌 be of the must do passes.
Yeah they are great passes too, it’s hard to keep track of them as there are so many!
I think we go to Pordoi in the next episode of that playlist

You did the Stelvio on the Transcontinental! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 nice one! We took that out last year and it was as you say tricky but a lot of fun 😎.

@@SeanandEmily Thank You
This should be a Netflix series very professional footage,
Awesome memories
Feel free to forward a link to Netflix 😁
Do you keep pressing the indicator cancel?
Yes that's right, it does have an auto cancellation however it's a habit I have.
Keep New Zealand beautiful ! 😂
Good shout! 😂
One T shirt at a time 😁
Klausen: Quite a bit overrated…
Popular doesn't make it overrated....
That’s part of the problem - too many rolling chicanes trying their luck…
That's one of the great things about living here, we tend to ride these off season or towards the end of the day =)
