Sorry, it was 3 years ago and I can't remember the exact route we took. But we did the Grossglockner, Stelvio Pass, the Great Dolomites drive, and a good section of the Great German Alpine Drive. If you look those up you'll be able to see where those roads go, and just plan how to link them altogether. I hope that helps.
Great video Barry, thank you for sharing such amazing trip and scenery. I`m sure some riders got fully convinced now to ride to the same destinations you went...I`m one of them in due time, for sure!!
My daughter and I did this trip 7-8 years ago when she was 15 and I was trying to do a Father-Daughter trip before I lost her to the boys! We did it on a BMW 1100LT two up, and looking at the pix of Stelvio Pass still scare me to death! I had ridden all over the Western USA and Canada for 25-30 years, and this Pass was heart stopping! I dropped the bike twice going up (at 5 mph around turns, no injuries and used up the bike deductible!), and was still shaking an hour after we got to the top and took a break! Great Trip! Edelweiss is a GREAT company and we still are in touch with our guides....friends for life.
Na ja, da wären Karteneinbledungen sinnvoll. Und... fahrt ihr ein Motorrad oder eine Musikbox? (well, a map insert would make sense. And...do you drive a MOTORbike or a jukebox?)
So totally loved the video. Please do share details about your expenses from bike rental to accommodations to train fares and dinning. Your response will help my wife and me plan our European bike trip next summer (pending Covid-19). Thanks.
Great video! My wife and I did an Edelweiss Best of Europe tour in June of that year. While watching your video and seeing the bike you rode I noticed the license plate. Turns out it was the exact same bike we used! It was brand new when they handed me the key. It had 1 kilometer on the clock!! We plan to go back but next time we want to do what you did. Rent a bike and go on our own. Thanks for sharing!! Cheers!
Sorry for the late reply to your comment. How coincidental is that. We both rode the same bike. We really enjoyed doing the trip on our own. We went where we wanted when we wanted. It was a good way to do things. We did get lucky though and met some local riders the first night we were on the road. They gave us some great suggestions of roads to take while sitting around a map!
Video never captures the full essence of being there, but the video was spectacular so it must have been UNBELIEVABLE in real life. Was that an OzSTOC jacket I spotted in the reflection on the Navman screen Barry? Awesome. Skip.
Hi Barry, enjoyed watching your video. I did a similar trip in June 2018 , stayed in Sell Am Zee for the Gross Glockner and Merano for the Stelvio. Just got a Gopro last month so hope to record my future trips like you did. Mark
Hey Barry. Great trip! Can you please add some experience about average accomodation, fuel, toll road costs? Im planing to go too and just started gathering info
Exactly Glen. We were also aware that we were a long way from home and didn't need to take any unnecessary chances. Having said that. I felt much safer getting around those twisting roads on a bike than I did when we were in our hire car.
Hi Rick. September was a great time to go for us in 2018. It was after the main European holiday peak season. However we were aware the weather can get a bit iffy the later in the year you plan to go. We got lucky and had great weather in September and October. Enjoy your trip!
@@brieneaton8578 thanks mate. Yes the scenery was breathtaking a lot of the time and it was hard not to look around. But the mountain passes would be pretty unforgiving if you mucked them up. So that keeps you focused. We rode at a relaxed pace and loved every moment.
Hi Paul. We shipped our own gear over. It was just easier with intercoms and video equipment that was already set up to work with our own riding gear. It was a bit expensive to post over, and because for the first 4 weeks of our holiday we travelled with another couple in a car, we really didn't have the space for riding gear as well. So we posted it straight to the bike hire company.
Tanks gays for sharing your trips nice fouto and films
Good video good place👍👍
great trip , could you please share your route

What a bike, what a couple, congrats from a little town in Segovia, Spain. Beautiful video.
Did you miss the Franz-Josef Hütte am Großglockner? That's sad...
ขอบคุณครับ
Great photography, spectacular views, thanks for sharing that. A most enjoyable watch.
I have watched many adventure videos but this one is ranked top list...
Thankyou
@@BarryK1200LT waiting more exciting videos dear like your tour to Europe ..
Brilliant, looks like you had an amazing time! 👍
We certainly did. I hope to someday return and do another Alps ride.
Great video. Thank you so much for sharing.
Great video Barry, thank you for sharing such amazing trip and scenery. I`m sure some riders got fully convinced now to ride to the same destinations you went...I`m one of them in due time, for sure!!
Fantastic video one of the best I’ve seen.
Wonderful ride. Beautiful place.
Beautiful, better at really seeing the architecture and mountains than most. I liked it very much!
Great video & great memories. I'm gearing up for trip #14 to the Alps this summer. Can't get enough.
We're keen to go back and see more.
@@BarryK1200LT The problem is that the list of places to go and things to see and roads to ride keeps getting longer, not shorter.
Planning to escape to these parts in 2020,your vid' is inspiring...much obliged for an hour well spent ;)
You'll have a ball.

Вы просто молодцы,класс!!!!
Awesome video.
You nailed it! Nice job. Really liked the intro’s as to where you were. Well done!
Great trip, me and a few mates are planning ours for 2020. Can't wait! 👍🏻
You'll love it. I can't wait to go back and spend more time riding over there.
Great video Barry. Will be there in July on my GSA!
You'll love it!

True. Film never captures the essence of touring. Yes it was the Ozstoc Jacket :)

Thanks Mark. Its a great place to go riding. I'd love to go back and do more some day. Only thing stopping me is money ;)
Super
Hey Barry. Great trip! Can you please add some experience about average accomodation, fuel, toll road costs?
Im planing to go too and just started gathering info
a bmw, a blond you got it made son,great video, stay safe lad.
Hey! Salzburg is in Austria 😉
I liked the pace of the riding, why rush in such fantastic settings.
Exactly Glen. We were also aware that we were a long way from home and didn't need to take any unnecessary chances. Having said that. I felt much safer getting around those twisting roads on a bike than I did when we were in our hire car.
after moena , which lake was it ? thanks and the very nice one after the stelvio pass ? Salzburg is not in germany but Austria.
I can't remember sorry.
Hi Barry, beautiful trip, do you have a Google map? I'd like to use it :)
Sadly no I don't.
I am planning similar trip in September, 2019. How was the weather and crowds?
Hi Rick. September was a great time to go for us in 2018. It was after the main European holiday peak season. However we were aware the weather can get a bit iffy the later in the year you plan to go. We got lucky and had great weather in September and October. Enjoy your trip!
Complimenti Barry .... vedi il mio canale .. robytour .. ----------------- ciao sono Roby da Gaeta
What time of year were you there? Ta
September/October.
Suppr
Beautiful video..but you have ruined it with the head busting crazy, wtf..music...
It's a challenge to find the right music to suit all tastes 😉
@@BarryK1200LT Great vid guys. And so is your music. It must have been hard to keep your eyes on the road at times. Wow !
@@brieneaton8578 thanks mate. Yes the scenery was breathtaking a lot of the time and it was hard not to look around. But the mountain passes would be pretty unforgiving if you mucked them up. So that keeps you focused. We rode at a relaxed pace and loved every moment.
Did you take your own riding gear or hire it?
Hi Paul. We shipped our own gear over. It was just easier with intercoms and video equipment that was already set up to work with our own riding gear. It was a bit expensive to post over, and because for the first 4 weeks of our holiday we travelled with another couple in a car, we really didn't have the space for riding gear as well.
