Did that exact tour in 2005, thank you for bringing back some great memories...
I am glad I could 😉👍
Incredible drone footage. Thanks for making this video and sharing with us. Ride safe.
Thank you for enjoying the video 😉 ride safe 🤙
Production quality top notch.
Hail
Thank you very much 👍
Your videos are EXTREMELY inspiring!
Thank you very much- glad you enjoyed them 😉
Great video👍🏻
But a video without a KTM braking down would be nice 🙈😜😂😂
That is the plan for 2024 😂
Diese vielen Troedler Moped Fahrer!!!! God, I have been there a million times.......let's move it a bit! Wie immer ein toller Bericht! Kannte jede einzelne Strecke und dennoch war es spannend und schoen, Eurer Tour zu folgen. Danke Dir!
Vielen Dank für die netten Worte. Freut mich das Dir das Video gefallen hat 😉 die Alpen bleiben für mich ein absolutes Highlight selbst nach vielen Touren in diese Region 😉
Epic ❤
Thank you 😉
Oh what a ride... vielen, vielen Dank für dieses mal wieder grandiose Video. Du schaffst es immer wieder, mich in die Alpen zu entführen und in Gedanken mitzufahren 👍👏
Vielen Dank für das nette Feedback- freut mich dass dir das Video gefallen hat 😉
Oli, it's a fantastic video, as always. Especially the Skydio drown shoots make a tremendous difference. It is just breathtaking how close it passes the rocks to film the road while having the beautiful Mountains in the back.
Thank you very much Jochen 😉
Wieder mal großartig. Ich habe schöne Erinnerungen an die Tour in den letzten 2 Jahren. Kann es kaum erwarten bald wieder alles abzugrasen vom Gardasee über Stelvia bis zum Großglockner. Danke Dir
Vielen Dank - freut mich sehr das dieses Video gute Erinnerung zurück bringt. Sei gegrüßt- Oliver
Cómo siempre... Excelente
Thank you very much - glad you enjoyed the video 😉
Great video.. Such beautiful places in the Alps, i think i need to go back there again soon, maybe this year..
Thank you very much- the alps are always worth a visit 😉
Wow, what a great Film. Resepkt, gold, extra, plus
Thank you very much - glad you liked the video 😉
Wie gewohnt "PERFEKT SCHÖN". Route, Wetter, die "meiste" Technik, Leute, Abenteuer! Du bist mein "Schnittmeister"! Es wird Zeit Dich kennenzulernen! Gruß aus Osthessen (ARo)
Vielen Dank für die netten Worte Axel 😉 ich würde mich ebenfalls freuen Dich kennen - die Saison geht ja gerade erst wieder los. Dieses wird das bestimmt etwas 😉 cheers Oliver
TOLLES VIDEO TOLLE PANORAMA UND MEGA BIKS! LIEBE GRÜSSE AUS KÄRNTEN👍🇦🇹🙋♂️🏍️
Vielen Dank 😎 freut mich, dass Dir das Video gefallen hat 😉
Will be doing all those roads come the 7th of June and onto Austria after the Dolomites. Can't wait to get back there. Great video as usual. Bringing a friend that has never been there before, it's going to blow his mind😂
Have a great time with your friend 🤙
Fabulöses Video, immer wieder ein Genuss, Deine Werke anzuschauen ! Weiter so !
Vielen Dank für die netten Worte 😉
Vielen Dank für die größere Schrift! Machts direkt besser lesbar! 😍👍
Gerne doch 😉
Beautiful landscapes 😮 magnificent video,👌👍😍
Thank you very much - glad you enjoyed the video 😉
The Stelvio became iconic in 2008? I went over it several times with my parents in the 1960s, it was universally known a long time ago.
It was always iconic but the show Top Gear did its part for additional recognition 😉
Planen Sie, eines Tages nach Marokko zu kommen? Hier haben wir wunderschöne Bergstraßen, die sich ideal für trail motorrad.. Auf jeden Fall sind Sie herzlich willkommen.
Vielen Dank. Ich hoffe doch sehr dass ich eines Tages Marokko auf dem Motorrad erkunden darf. Konkrete Pläne habe ich bisher noch nicht 😉
As a biker and hiker, thanks for going slow around hikers!!! Really cool of you. Great video and looks like a fun adventure!!!
Thank you very much 😉 we try to be mindful around hikers and cyclists when we ride - thank you for your appreciation 👍
Hello Oli,
as always a sensational video of a great tour on fantastic routes. I love watching your videos.
Well done!!!
Marcus
Thank you very much Marcus 😉 glad you enjoyed the video 🤙
Cracking video! Wow.
Thank you very much 🤙
Great drone work! We think alike. I especially liked your comments about La Tremola - I've always viewed it as a living historical monument and ride it whenever I'm in the area.
Thank you very much- glad you enjoyed the video 😉 looks like we share the admiration for the Tremola 👍
@@MotoVibes As to the tunnel bypass on the Gavia, there's another on the Grimsel's north ramp that bypasses the Guttannen Tunnel. Not as challenging, though.
@@mjordan812 that is good to know for next time. Thank you very much for the tip 👍
Hammer Tour 👍👍👍👍
Vielen Dank 😉
SOOOOO nice filmed.... know the area very well (+20y winter + summer)
New follower
Thank you very much and welcome to the channel 😉👍
Riding the Stelvio Pass in 1960s? You must be the original Alps influencer! 😄
I assume you are referring to David‘s comments from a few days ago 😉
Nice travel report and stunning drone shots. 👌
Thank you very much- glad you enjoyed it 😉
great video, great roads
Thank you very much 😉
Hey Oliver, I'm currently for 2 weeks glued to my bed because of a shoulder injury. Ones more a good time to go through your video's.
What a epic drive, my usual Sunday route are Klausen-Furka Grimsel-Susten and finally via the Oberalp pass back home 😅.
Please keep a spot open for me if you organize a tourist ride out again. My 2020 1290 Super Adventure S only has 16'000km on the clock, we need to change that.
Grüsse aus der Schweiz Dani
By the way I did wrote you a message on Facebook
Thank you very much. I feel your pain. I am benched after knee surgery and had to cancel my first off-road tour of the season. I am glad the videos help you over your injury- I am doing the same thing 😂
The guided tour for June is still open for booking if you are interested 😉 I am sorry I did not see your message on facebook. I rarely look at that account 😬 Grüße aus Berlin- Oliver
Excellent video! I know all the mountain passes that appear in the video, I organize tours for Mexicans in the Alps with MXAdventures, but the images you get are beautiful and your narration is very good too, congratulations and maybe we will meet on the way.
Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed the video 😉
THX for sharing Great Video
Thank you very much 😉
I rarely comment on anything and especially subscribe. I don't generally like overly long videos but here I watched the whole thing.
Nice trip, nice comments, good to watch. I was planning to do Corsica on 2 wheels but I think I will stop in Italy and Switzerland. Do you have any tracks you could share?
See you on the road mate
Thank you very much for the nice feedback on this video 😉I do have tour books and GPX data on this and other tours - please check out : www.motovibes.de
Superb video, beautifully shot and edited. Thank you.
Thank you very much for your nice feedback - glad you enjoyed the video 😉
One of the best detailed videos I've seen in a long time. Excellent work guys looked like an unbelievable experience... hopefully I'll do it someday
Thank you very much for your nice feedback 😉 I hope you will ride these roads yourself soon 👍
Beautiful 👍👍
Thank you 😉
Great edited video. Thanks, I enjoyed that.
Thank you very much 😉
Nice drone shots 👍🏼
Thank you very much 😉
Nice roads in the mountains 😊
Thank you very much 😉
Sehr geiles Video und sehr geiler Bericht. Die 67 Minuten haben mir richtig Spaß gemacht und ich habe tatsächlich jede Minute gesehen...jetzt folgen nach und nach die Anderen, da ich letztens erst auf dich aufmerksam geworden bin. Weiter so und schöne Grüße aus Niedersachsen.
Hi Nils - vielen Dank für das nette Feedback! Freut mich sehr, dass Dir Videos gefallen 😉Beste Grüße aus Berlin, Oliver
Absolute spektakulär! Super gefilmt, editing is Spitzenklasse! Grüße aus den USA. (Es wird zeit meine GSA wieder nach Hause (Ö) zu bringen)
Vielen Dank und Grüße in die USA. je nachdem wo Du dort wohnst gibt es dort ja auch schöne Ecken besonders abseits von befestigten Wegen. 😉
Oliver, I really enjoyed your video. Thank you very much very well put together very well edited. I am flying from Australia in August purchasing Ktm 890 Adventure R and traveling through Europe for 8 to 10 weeks. I’m hoping to do some of the roads that I’ve seen in your video. we don’t have roads like this in Australia nor do we have the views I’m really looking forward to it. Over the next few weeks I’m sure I’ll get through the rest of your back catalog of videos. 👍
Thank your very much for your nice feedback. Sounds like a great adventure you are looking forward to in Europe. I assume you will also be tackling offroad tracks here in Europe considering that you will be purchasing a 890 Adventure R. There are a few but good places to ride in the West Alps - they are spectacular as they often follow old military roads. All of the Balkans are a good place to take your bike off the pavement. If you are planning to go north Norway is a great country to visit - even if you can just make it to the south-west corner of the country. I have videos on all of these places on this channel if you want get some inspiration.
Depending on how well you plan your tours there are a few resources I can recommend to ensure you hit as many highlights as you can - 10 weeks seems like a lot but I am they will be over too quick. Offroad tracks are a bit harder to find in Europe as there many countries that have restrictions - the eastern Europe is better in this regards. The Adventure Country Tracks are a good resource - similar to the American BDR these are roads suitable for dual-cyclinder adventure bikes. The Trans Euro Trail is the most comprehensive catalog of more than 90,000 km of track with a focus on off-road tracks - they can be ridden with an adventure bike but some section may only be passable with a smaller enduro bike depending on your skills and the weather of course.
Last but not least I have a few tour package on my website www.motovibes.de including some off-road tracks.
Since you will be starting your tour in August you may want to consider starting in the north and than head south as the weather is better in the south in the fall.
Anyway - I am very excited for you and I hope you will have a great time in Europe! - cheers, Oliver
Oliver, thank you very much for your advice. I really appreciate it.
@@CaptinCrash321 you are very welcome 😉
@@MotoVibes Oliver do you mind if I ask you a question.
Could you recommend the correct maps for traveling around Europe for a Garmin Tread? I’m touring mostly Road for eight weeks, between August October this year, but in 2025 I would like to do the Trans European trail and as much off-road as I can. What do you recommend as I’m using topo maps for Australia at the moment on my Tread. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
@@CaptinCrash321 As far as I know the Garmin Tread also includes a form of OSM Maps - these are especially useful for off-road riding as some tracks are not listed in Garmin's own map material.
There is a way to get OSM Maps on a Garmin navigation unit using the following OSM Maps (it a German site but the language is English) - it is a bit fidely and you need to find some guidance on how to load OSM maps on a Garmin device but these are the maps that I use on my Zumo XT when I am off-road

Just found your channel and I absolutely love it!! Great editing, amazing drone shots just epic!
Will watch the rest of the videos this weekend!
Thank you very much for the kind words - glad you enjoy the videos 😉
Beautifully made! A Nice trip you've done there post to TM ;)
Thank you Phil 😉 I have a few more videos in the pipeline but the edit of the TIM is done 😉
@@MotoVibes ouuuuuuhhh!! Looking forward to it!
🎉🎉🎉 der Sonntagabend ist gerettet 👍🏼🤟🏽🤟🏽 großartiges Video!!!
Vielen Dank Stephan 🤩 war eine Hammer Tour mit euch. 🤙
@@MotoVibes das kann ich nur zurückgeben - einmalig 👍🏼
Spectacular and Super Inspiring Video
Thank you very much 😉 glad you enjoyed the video 👍
Hi really fantastic video so well filmed plus drone footage I think I’m there also very informative what helmet camera are you using good footage Ash
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed this video. I did a whole video on my camera setup for vlogging which should answer any questions you may have 😉 th-cam.com/video/d7eh1HCxp0c/w-d-xo.html
Das macht richtig Lust auf Nachfahren, Die Aufnahmen mit der Drohne sind genial. Weiter so.
Vielen Dank für das nette Feedback 😉
Hey Oli das ist mal wieder ein Hammer gutes Video! E
Weiter so 👍.
Welche Navi App benutzt du?
Grüße und allzeit gute Fahrt ✌️
Vielen Dank- freut mich dass Dir das Video gefällt 😉 ich hatte für diese Tour Scenic verwendet - mit dieser App konnte ich die GPX Dateien verwenden, die ich normalerweise in meinem Garmin Zumo XT nutze
@MotoVibes: Hi Oli, mega cooles Video. Sehr schöne Aufnahmen. 2023 haben wir fast die gleiche Tour gemacht. Einfach traumhaft. Eine kurze Frage: auf deiner geliehenen Maschine war der Wings Auspuff drauf, oder? Kannst du ein paar Worte zu dem sagen? Wie fandest du ihn? Wie war die Lautstärke (mit dB-Eater)? Würde mich über eine Antwort von dir freuen. Vielen Dank und Grüße...
Vielen Dank. Freut mich sehr das dir das Video gefallen hat 😉 der Wings Auspuff hat mich positiv überrascht- er war mit DB eater klangvoll genug. Ich fand den Sound besser als meinen Arrow ohne DB eater! Der Wings Auspuff wäre jetzt meine erste Wahl wenn ich mich noch einmal entscheiden könnte. Hoffe das hilft 😉
@@MotoVibes Vielen Dank Oli! Das hilft sehr. Der Wings gefällt mir auch sehr gut. Dein Eindruck war jetzt nochmal sehr hilfreich. Danke dir. Weiterhin alles Gute und bis dann… 😉👍🏼 VG
mantap bang
Thank you 🤙
Ja wie immer Top gefilmt, geschnitten. Vielen Dank für die Mühe. Mir wäre das zuviel Arbeit, bzw. ich will immer nur fahren und halte kaum noch für irgendwelche Fotos an. Da bin ich einfach eine Maschine im abreissen von Kilometern . Einfach nur genial wenn ich das sehe. Gibt es Routenplamung von Dir für den Gardasee? Beste Grüße
Vielen Dank für das Lob 😉 ich hab ein Tour Paket die Zentral Alpen inkl des Gardasees mit weit ausführlicheren und sehr schönen Strecken aber nicht 1:1 die aus dem Video motovibes-shop.fourthwall.com/en-eur/products/motorcycle-tour-for-advanced-riders-incl-roadbook-gpx-data
That was a great journey! Thanks for sharing. May I know what is your drone model? Its sensors are working accurately 😮, did you have had accident experience with that?
Thank you very much 😉 this is the drone for the tracking shots th-cam.com/video/I9ZakT4q-b8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=cwM0gU8qBGWsSPvt
Great vid as always! Important question: is there an official site where I can get infos about which passes are closed and/or open in the dolomites area?
Thank you very much 😉 Best place to look are official website of the respective countries - they may be in the local language but google translate should allow you to read them. But there are site like this German one that lists all the passes but they may not have the very latest up to date information: www.alpenpaesse.de/verkehrsinfo
@@MotoVibes thanks for the info!
Great video and cool shots. What drone you use? Drone track you automatically?
Thank you very much. It’s this drone th-cam.com/video/I9ZakT4q-b8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Fj5umzoaF6nzYFrQ
I really liked the tour! Can you tell me what drone you use?

richtig toller film. sag mal, sind das neue gepäcktaschen?
Vielen Dank 😉 die Gepäcktaschen sind von der geliehenen KTM - die sind von Enduristan und haben gut funktioniert 😉
Ganz lieben Dank für die schnelle Antwort. Hilft mir sehr!Eine Entscheidung steht dieses Jahr an. Dein setup ist cool, aber ist für mich nicht optimal. Kommt vielleicht eine kurze Review von dir zu den enduristan Taschen?
@@Solarys_the_one hatte ich gar nicht vor. Hätte ich eigentlich etwas zu aufnehmen können 😉 bin ja ein großer Enduristan Fan aber schau auch mal bei Touratech - die haben ähnliche Taschen (ich dachte erst die sind von Enduristan hergestellt - so wie die Extreme Series) - hab die auf der EICMA gesehen und die Befestigung am Gepäckträger hat mir gut gefallen. Ich glaube die waren ähnlich robust und leicht 😉
@@MotoVibes nochmals tausend Dank. Auch für Deinen Content! :)
@@Solarys_the_one sehr gerne doch 😉👍
漂亮
Thank you 😊
Awesome Video. Would you mind sharing some info on the electronics you use. Which drone, cameras etc. Thank in advance! 😊
Thank you very much - This is pretty much the setup I still use today except a newer Hero 10 th-cam.com/video/gBhjVcpYQT0/w-d-xo.html. This video goes into more detail on the vlog setup - both cameras and the audio setup th-cam.com/video/d7eh1HCxp0c/w-d-xo.html
Nice vid! What bike did break? Your old 1290 or do you have a new one? And what was the cause?
Thank you very much. My 2022 KTM 1290 SAR broke down with engine damage last year. KTM has since put a new engine in.
Ah ok. What happened to your 1290SAS? Did you swop it?
@@biglebowski786 my 1290 SAS was from 2018 and then I got the 2020 SAR which sold 2022 and bought the 2022 1290 SAR which broke down last year
This is my current model th-cam.com/video/QWCnTq1H-2A/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Cul6D1TuBzi3ob1A
Great video - which dates / month where you driving this tour from?
september .. the last pictures in the video... 😀
that is correct - sorry I missed your comment - sometimes they do not show for me ;-)

Hi dude. Have you ever had problems with fuel quality in Colombia? As far as know, ktm bikes should be filled up with high quaility one.
I have not been so lucky to travel in Columbia yet with my KTM 😉
hey ! really nice video !
how do you plan your trips exactly, what do you use ? mobile application ? we're planning a trip to the dolomites this summer with my mother and girlfriend, but we're lost with how to make the best route and what application to use
Thanks a lot and keep on the great work !
Thank you very much - glad you enjoyed the video. I use Garmin's Basecamp software. One big advantage is that I have all my tours and research in one place - other tools or apps cannot really match this at the moment. If you are just planning a single tour there are plenty of options out there now but I have very little to no experience with them 😉
@@MotoVibesthanks a lot, I'll take a look at it and see what i can do with it ! :D
@@yannislarue2103 there is a bit of learning curve with Garmin‘s Basecamp software but once you have it mastered it’s a great tool. Search for some tutorials on TH-cam to get you started 😉
If you go in the Summer start in Zurich and take trains through the South Tyrole of Austria ,Italy and Austria again to Italy take a bus from Dobbiaco to tre Crime Nat park and Cortina de Amprezzo . No driving to worry about . Mittenwald Innsbruck ,Bolanzo,Grossglockner, Salzburg all within 350 mile 500 km
@motovibes what was the mechanical failure with your 1290? I have the same bike and hope to avoid any issues.
I have been meaning to make a video - just haven't gotten around to it yet - the short answer is - I do not know - KTM replaced the entire engine without the shop even opening the engine - so the dealer and I do not know what caused this. My understanding is that this is rather rare - especially given the low milage.
@@MotoVibesthanks for the response. I just watched the follow up video- interesting situation for sure.
So my question is, are you and Stephan starting your own motorcycle touring company? If so, what is your website address?
My website address is www.motovibes.de - I may provide additional tours and other destinations in the future. Depending on interest I may collaborate with Stephan to offer motorcycles as well for those coming from outside Europe or just need a bike as an option. It would be a long road to ditch my full time job for it but I really enjoy designed and guiding these tours and would be thrilled to open this to a larger community if this finds enough interest
Hello. My wife and I are from the USA and are looking at doing an Alps tour this year .. I see that yours are sold out 😤.
I just happened upon you videos . Would have loved to ride with you. We are both experienced motorcyclists having ridden most of the lower 48 states in the USA. Are thinking we may just rent bikes and do a self guided tour. Enjoy your videos. Would love to come over and do some off road riding. I would say there is a huge market for the off road adventure riding in Europe.!!
@@davidlamb155 thank you very much David. Off-road tour may also be an option in the future - there are some really great placed to ride on gravel and experience the rich cultures of European countries 😉 the Alps also offer some very select places to ride on old military tracks 😉
Love it 🎉👏🚜🚜🤟
@@MotoVibesYes, please!!
What brand of flexible camera tripod do you have ?
That is a GoPro original flex mount 😉
HI 38:39 , what is the brand and model on your helmet? Thanks.
it’s this helmet th-cam.com/video/ysiMw_UWN1o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Szv4WUi-hFlAyCvA
I need your suggestions for buying the ktm 1290 super adventure bike or should not i buy? I need your thoughts about the bike or do you have any other suggestions? Thanks in advance
I have an total of 100.000 km on the 1290 Super Adventure series across 3 different bikes with absolutely zero issues until I experienced the critical engine damage of my current 1290 SAR. So far I think this is a rare issue as the LC8 engine is considered to be very robust. Would I buy this bike again now? Yes, I would as still love everything about it for what I am asking of my motorcycle right now.
If it is right one for you is best experienced during an extended test ride - take it out for a day if you have the chance. See if you like it. Alternatives are BMW and Ducati‘s large adventure bike offerings. The BMW is a fantastic and versatile bike equally at home on the road and off the pavement. The Ducati is probably the sportiest of the bunch with a stronger road focus but you can do some light off-road riding with it. Try the BMW and Ducati too. After you test ridden them all your gut feeling will likely point you to your favorite amongst the big 3. cheers Oliver
@@MotoVibes thanks a lot!🫡
Oliver I really like your videos and the talk. Would you be willing to share your video set-up with me? Cameras. drones, settings, microphone choices, software. I have some of the YOur sound is very good which makes the videos better. I don’t quite understand the settings that make for good visuals. I’m researching the drones for B-roll. I don’t quite get how it flys autonomously and keeps you in the frame.
Thank you very much -glad you enjoyed the video. There are a couple of videos that might be of interest to you with regards to the drone flying the recording of the footage: this one is on the Skydio th-cam.com/video/I9ZakT4q-b8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=x_-WD7F0X2-VZP5N and this one is on the vlog setup th-cam.com/video/d7eh1HCxp0c/w-d-xo.htmlsi=cTFifFnqSSq94gpS - last but not least an overview of all the cameras that I use with samples: th-cam.com/video/gBhjVcpYQT0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uBt4nlDN5sg4-41D
As for the editing software. I use Davinci Resolve. The basic version is free and does 90% of what I use and a good place to start if you intend to get your editing to the next level. There are so many tutorials on TH-cam to get you started with Davinci but it is a bit of a time commitment to goes through this learning curve depending on your previous experience with editing software
Excellent trip. A dream for many. Especially to those over the pond.
Stelvio pass is overrated and too commercial. It's a checkmark pass. Gavia is my favorite in Italy.
Thank you very much. I have been to the alps many times know and they have not lost their fascination a bit. It is the prime area to ride a motorcycle in Europe 😉
Do you have a copy of the route you did please,
I just uploaded an 8-day tour through the central alps that include much of what is featured in this video. Also there is the Central Alps + Lake Garda with many of the same roads plus many more roads in the lake garda region please check out this website for all tour packages www.motovibes.de
I’ve ridden around Garda. Lots of traffic. Not great riding. Nice lake though.
It’s crazy busy close to the lake but the surrounding area is nice and usually a lot less crowded 😉
@@MotoVibes that’s true. I live in the United States. I do not own a car. I am 77. in the United States, I drive a 2018 BMW GS adventure half the year I spend in Europe where I have a Yamaha T7 hundred. Which I think is the perfect bike for Europe. That bike has torque everywhere. The BMW, amazingly, does not. When you’re off road, you need torque at very low RPMs. At any rate, I spend a whole lot of time in the Alps. I ride alone which is lonely but I ride fast and from pricks in Audi on the Thruway in Portugal the most dangerous thing on the road is the guy you’re riding with. The guy I used to ride with has been dead for 10 years, unfortunately, and I have never found anybody, other than Paul French, who is both fast and safe. Two years ago I did the Isle of Man course at 4 o’clock in the morning on my Yamaha. 45 minutes! That summer I was also in Morocco in the Atlas mountains, where there are potholes as big as bathtubs and roads that were being carved out years ago, but for some reason the work stopped, and there’s just decaying machinery and piles of gravel around. That, and going through the French alps on balcony Road with water seeping out of the inside wall, and across the road on outside turns with no meaningful retainer on the outside and a thousand foot drop were the most challenging, purportedly paved roads I’ve ever been on!
Doing the Italian islands this year, then to Tunisia. I am grateful that fortune has enabled me to do these things at this age. My life has been mortised between two generations that do not understand me. Both my parents and my children worry and tell me to be careful!
Spluga pass I was born very close by and lived in Andeer. Spluga is my home.
@@MrGaspmanuel it’s a very beautiful area - lucky you 😉
what helmet camera is that? thanks
It’s this one th-cam.com/video/d7eh1HCxp0c/w-d-xo.htmlsi=y7wJ4Kln1YI2OiLE

Forra road 🎉
I just learned that the road was hit by a massive rock slide and that it is impassable for now 😢
Great places great roads not adventure.
on 31:39 When you fly a drone over a paraglider, isn’t that risky?
Not if you keep a good distance which I made sure I did 😉
@MotoVibes
What was the critical issue with your bike?
The engine broke down on the autobahn. KTM has since replaced the engine but the process took a while. I am planning to do a video on this experience but have not gotten around to it yet 😉
I was just curious being that you haven’t had many issues with your previous Super Adventures. Wondered if there was a particular event or item that was identified that led to the breakdown. I’ll keep my eyes out for that video!
You are why I got into adventure riding. All the way over in West Texas!
@@Thisguyhere1828 thank you very much- it’s really nice to know that my video have inspired you 😉 as you seem to know my videos well this is indeed the first and only issue I have had after a combined mileage of more than 100,000 km with the three 1290 SA. As the engine was not opened by the dealer and sent back to the factory no one really knows the actual cause. However I have since spoken to an expert who does many of the KTM engine repairs in Germany who has confirmed that engine damages of the 1290 SA are rare from his point of view. I also hoping to get a video with this expert to fill in the picture as I think that this could be interesting for some. Ride safe and stay awesome 🤙 Oliver
Que país es
Switzerland and Italy 😉
It's called Maloja, not Majola, pass.
Oops 😬
😍😍👌👌💖💖🇳🇵🇳🇵🙏🙏nepal
👍👍😉😉🤙🤙
'promosm'
Mayola Pass 😂
😉
Oh.. what happened to the engine? A "one in a million" thing, or a new engine issue that can be prevented by us owners?
I don’t know what actually caused the issue. The engine was swapped and the old engine was sent to the factory unopened.
@@MotoVibes so it just stopped during riding or during starting of the engine???
@@Snowhite808 it died at 190 km/h on Autobahn - i was on the left of three lanes. Not such a great thing but I pulled the clutch quick enough to avoid locking of the rear wheel and was able to move to the safety strip on this busy Autobahn- I will do a video on the whole experience that followed
OK, so it was some irregular thing. Good You stayed upright and rolling.@@MotoVibes
Don't think I don't appreciate the content of this video. I am watching as you do travel some amazing routes, but that sounds like quite a fruity (loud) exhaust you have fitted on the motorcycle. How do you find travelling through the Alps with such a fruity sounding exhaust with regards to the police and other enforcement authorities?
The exhaust on this motorcycle (and my own) is a street legal exhaust. This bike had a Wings exhaust which had a very nice sound (better then my Arrow on my KTM) - deeper than the original but not that much louder - therefore no issues with police 😉
I record engine sound and my voice on separate tracks and mix them in video editing - the engine sound is dialed down by 15 dB in the video - I hope that helps - cheers Oliver
Sorry but I will not rent a bike that will let me stranded!
It was not the rental bike that got stranded but my own 1290 SAR. I was happy to have the rental to continue my tour 😉 that 1290 SAR worked perfectly
@MotoVibes I know! Thats why I said !? Lol. If your own 1290 will let you down, I will never rent the same bike! Lol. So what happened to yours? I have a good opportunity ton buy a new one but I'm afraid something is going to happen to it!
@@12masterr oh sorry. Got that wrong 😉 I don’t know the cause of the engine damage as the engine was never opened- KTM chose to swap it against a new engine. The LC8 engine is considered a solid engine but obviously these things happen but I have no idea how often
Awesome video... Thanks so much for sharing guys. Subbed
Thank you very much and welcome to the channel 🤙
You were lucky with a weather 😊 pretty dry 😊
Yes. We were lucky- A great time to travel the alps 😉
