    I was quite tense when you said you were angry and started riding madly. Honestly you set me up to anticipate a crash or something just as bad. Glad you are alright! Great vid, great roads, good riding. Keep them coming!

    You sir, are a legend! Just goes to show, a humble CB 500 piloted by a man with balls of steel can prove to be the best riding ive seen, ever! Carry on what you do, cos it amazes me everytime :D id kill to have roads like that in England!

    • @Schaaf

      I've come back 9 years later, a changed man. I can no longer ride due to a bike crash (broken back and paralysed arm), but I still come back to this video and remember the good times I had when I rode my own 500. I still get goosebumps when I listen to the engine, and I remember all the vibrations, the way it rode, the sensation of f it all like muscle memory. So thank you Schaaf, for reminding me of the good times, and I hope you carry on enjoying your own good times.

    You rode this road like an Italian maniac. LOL. I enjoyed this adventure of yours and I know the feeling. You took the right bike to do this. It was right at its limit of acceleration, braking, leaning, turning traction, everything... Excellent!

    Damn.
    I need to get a slower bike.
    And move to Italy.

    • @Schaaf
      @Schaaf  9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Nikel87 moving to Italy is a great idea but getting a slower bike not so much ;)

    • @Nikel87
      @Nikel87 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      With a slow bike you can concentrate on the corners instead off the gas.
      Anyway.
      Great video.
      Looks so much fun.

    • @Schaaf
      @Schaaf  9 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Nikel87 you can concentrate on the corners on every bike. You just need to use your right hand sensibly and don't pull on the throttle like an utter maniac. I'd choose a small bike because it's more agile and easier to flick around. Not because it's slower. Something like a BMW S1000RR could still be the quickest bike on a road like the shown Passo Pramollo. The problem is just that too many big-bike riders never learned how to ride properly because riding a powerful machine on a PUBLIC ROAD (not talking about the racetrack) doesn't teach you anything. You don't even need to change gears on a liter bike. On a big bike you simply accelerate hard after you fucked up your line going through a corner. You can't do that on a CB500. If you want to ride quick on a weak bike you simply have to learn how to ride a quick and safe line, how to change gears quickly, how to ride with momentum instead of breaking hard. And in the end that's how you should ride every bike. I'm saying that you'll learn most and best on a small and weak bike. But if you want to go REAL fast then you also need a powerful bike. The CB is too weak.

    • @Nikel87
      @Nikel87 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think we share the same thought's.
      I have two pretty fast bikes.
      My Zx6r and my Husqvarna 500 Supermotard.
      The zx6 is great on trackdays but it got stiff springs that doesn't really work on bumpy roads.
      The Husqvarna is superlight but got so much power that it's kinda insane to drive anywhere.
      I remember a couple of years ago when I was doing some commercial work on 125cc scooters with hangers on.
      The last day we took the hangers off and rode the shit out of these slow crapbikes.
      Scraped everywhere, no power so we just launched into the corners hoping we would survive.
      We weren't going any fast but with no handling, no brakes and no ground clearance.
      It felt like 200.

    • @Schaaf
      @Schaaf  9 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Nikel87 haha yea, the CB500 starts wobbling heavily in corners faster than 120kph. I always feel like Guy Martin doing 300+ on the Isle Of Man hahaha

      *Kinder, guckt her!* Der Mensch hier hat sicher *TOTAL* viel Ahnung vom Mopedfahren! Wie treffend und beinhart-präzise er meinen "immer" überforderten Fahrstil "entschlüsselt" hat! Wow!
      Aber immerhin hat er mich darauf hingewiesen, dass Motorrad fahren gefährlich ist. *Das wusste ich bis dato nicht, ECHT NICHT!!* Danke vielmals für die Aufklärung! Ein wahrer Held bist du! Aber ich nehm's dir dafür dann auch nicht übel, wenn du dann vor meinem Grab stehst und vor trauernder Menge verkünden darfst: "NA?! Ich hab's euch doch gesagt, dass das nicht lange gut gehen wird!!" Dann hast du endlich deine Genugtuung.

    Loved the scraping exhaust achievement. Found a cb500 for 3400 I might be getting it just cause of you but there's about a foot an a half of snow so I won't be riding for a while. Thank god for your videos.

    • @Schaaf
      @Schaaf  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      thanks a lot, mate! Where do you live? 3400 sounds like a lot of money for a CB500 ;)

    • @hopstir69
      @hopstir69 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      From Calgary Alberta, Canada. what did you pay for yours? the model i'm looking at is a 2002

    • @Schaaf
      @Schaaf  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      hopstir69 €1500 with 36.000km on the clock. Should've paid 1100-1200 though. But I was young and dumb back in the days ;) But of course mine is from 1994 and therefore much older.

  • @apexdrft2872

    For not knowing the roads too well (map on the tank), you sure looked like you did :) Your aggressive but controlled riding is awesome, and I wish I lived near a beautiful place like this.

    • @Schaaf
      @Schaaf  10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You got that right, I didn't know these roads at all. This run was my third one. I did one "test-run" to check for hazards etc. I wanted to film the second run already but my GoPro froze right in the middle of the road. So I had to do it a third time. Unfortunately my GoPro froze once more but this time I had to continue with riding since I had a lot of riding left to do on that day. (spent the whole day on unfamiliar roads, riding & exploring is my favorite thing to do :) )

  • @notwocdivad
    @notwocdivad 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    have you noticed how it is easier to scrape the left peg than the right? It's due to the camber of the road. the centre is usually higher than the edges so when cranked over the road is closer to start with! Here in the UK it is the opposite it's easier to ground the right peg. By the way my mate did this and was thrown off when his peg went into a pothole and spun the bike. Nasty Mess, him and the bike.

    • @Schaaf

      scraping pegs has to be done with caution, yea

    Would be interesting to see what you could do on a bike such as a KTM 690 on these roads. You're fast on that little Honda but It's fair to say you're pushing her to her limits :).
    Nice riding! Great editing as well - the small stuff is hilarious.

    • @Schaaf

  • @vgama

    Great video! What kind of tyres are you using in this video? How do the front brakes cope with all that hard braking?

    • @Schaaf
      @Schaaf  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      thank you! Bridgestone BT45! They don't cope with that too well actually. I even have steelflex brake lines on my CB but the CB wasn't made for this kind of riding. The brakes over-heat rather quickly but usually they keep working well enough for my (low) standards :) But it certainly did happen more than once that I had to take out all my pace because the brakes more or less stopped working because the beating was too much for them.

    Wow Schaaf! Once again you have the palms of my hands ringing wet! Very intense and exciting to watch, but good lord man, please be careful... Curiosity is killing me to know what the duct taped notes on your tank are for. If it were me riding down this road like that, it would be a prayer... LOL. Ride safe my friend!

    • @Schaaf
      @Schaaf  10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      thanks a lot, Shawn!! The notes on my tank are my road maps. On these I write down the route for the day. This video was shot during my summer holidays and I wasn't familiar with the places I went to ride so I needed some directions :) If I come across a road like this I usually go for a test-ride without the camera rolling to see if everything is safe and free of hazards. Then I'll do the video run. This run down actually was my third one because my GoPro only recorded half of the run on the previous one. This time the camera didn't make it through the whole road once more but I had no more time to re-do it since I had quite a bit of road to do still ahead of me on that day!

    • @ShawnSmoak
      @ShawnSmoak 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @Murcuseo 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Your eagerness to get past the infamous campervan nearly got you in trouble. That gave the brakes a good testing. xD
    He who makes no mistakes never makes anything. You live, you learn.
    I think the fact you got stuck behind that car in the tunnel actually helped you cool down a little because you start riding smoother after that. ;)

    • @Schaaf
      @Schaaf  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      yea that camper definitely was a proper braking test. Although I was still using only one finger on the brake lever. I'm not strong enough to get the front to lock up using only one finger. So theoretically I had some reserves left lol.
      Very good observation with the short break in the tunnel. I definitely felt even more confident afterwards so I guess it really did cool me down a bit.

    Great riding! Great views... Just out of curiosity how do you position yourself taking bends? Do you push down on bars and pegs to help take bends at speed. Looking at the video it seems like you are not hanging off the bike. Which I am glad to see because it seems to me all this hanging off a bike isn't needed and more like trying look like rossi...

    • @Schaaf
      @Schaaf  10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      thank you very much! You've seen that right, I don't hang off the bike at all. There's no doubt that riding hang off will always be the quickest way to get you around a corner on tarmac. But it's simply no fun for me on the old CB. Plus keeping a neutral body position allows me to react much quicker to any unpredictable hazard on the road.

    • @Nerb1
      @Nerb1 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Schaaf I know you keep saying you dont need to hang off the bike, but have you tried it? The bike is more stable and, as you said, you can go around the corners quicker... if you "can" go around quicker, then at the same speed, you have more room for error. You have confidence on the bike, so start experimenting.

    • @Schaaf
      @Schaaf  10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Nerb1
      have you ever tried hang off on a 20 year old $1000 bike? No? Sliding around on the seat gets the CB into hardcore wobble mode. It's no problem with long and wide corners and I do ride hang off in these quite a bit. But with a road like this, where there's nothing else but sharp turns, she gets way to unstable before the turns from all the quick moving around from one side to the other. Her suspension was just not made for riding like that. Plus it's not safer at all. Hang off makes me go around corners faster. It does lower the center of gravity and certainly improves the stability indeed. Once you've gotten down there lol. But still I'd rather ride a corner on a public road with my body upright since this position allows me to react so much quicker to any unexpected hazard on the road. And that's a fact. Hang off looks awesome, feels awesome, is awesome. But not on narrow, public mountain roads with my little Honda. The best would be to slightly move body & butt to the sides in the corners. But no full-blown hang off.

    Hi Schaaf, very good videos, keep them coming! One suggestion - try mounting the camera on the helmet. That way, we can see further ahead and maybe people like me will stop getting scared you will crash at every corner. GoPro has helmet mounts. Just an idea anyway. Ride safe!

    • @Schaaf
      @Schaaf  10 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @Schaaf

    Somehow i missed this video so i just watched it. If your bike is your "little Honda" then mine is "my baby Honda"(1982 CM 250T) it was 27bhp in 1982 but i think 4 or 5 of those horses escaped over the years. It has 6 gears but again a couple of them decide to go "undercover" every now and then which makes interesting riding if you're on a winding road. You think your brakes are bad i think my front pads are made of butter !! As for "Heisenberg" well we all have those on occasions or even the odd "Jessie"which isn't quite as scary. I love to ride but when i can't ride i watch so thanks again for the video's.
