I was going to say, I kept on fluffing it on the new blade 'till I dropped the gear lever several degrees. Made a world of difference. Beautiful. Great work AMC.
Thanks for taking us along on this trip and sharing memories. I have not quite the bike for the Passo Dordona but enjoyed the Passo San Marco in the Valley nearby - a bit more of tarmac. 😉 Curious to view the next leg of this journey.
I love that after many visits, I’m now getting to see a completely different side to them! I’m very glad i made the decision to swap East for west then! Thanks for confirming!! 😚
Val Taleggio is really cool, I've done it countless times, last time with my beloved Vespa... Be warned: lower your expectations because sadly you won't see many Tuaregs around, in fact they are very rare on our roads and it's a pity because it's a bike that deserves much more love. The typical Italian motorbike tourer likes to buy Bimmers (BMW) or Ducati Multistrada. Happy you're enjoying your stay and your Tuareg! Minute 23.14: this is the renowned bar of Lecco, where all motorcyclists take a break before heading to Valtellina!
It was a beautiful ride. Probably even better on a tightly wound Café racer! I think that the Tuareg is quickly gathering popularity. Soon they’ll be as common as the dirty Yamaha T7!! 🤪
I can only agree! Plus I’m surprised by how long they’ve lasted. I though that the 1500km ride home would finish them off, but they’ve still got a good couple of thousand km‘s in them!
@AndyManCam , they are surprisingly puncture resistant too (that's torn it🙄) and a good stiff carcass which enables you to at least ride 'within reason' with a puncture should you be unfortunate enough to get one..my new go to tyre..cheap too.!
Great video Andy I’ve been watching your latest videos each of them and ticked like abviously but I watch them on utube on tv and it’s a faf to comment on there but I’m still following you mate loving it mate Italy is such a beautiful country isn’t it have fun ride safe mate
@ hi Andy yes I’ve never been but seen some of it on utube one of my daughters went last year and she said it was a beautiful place people were so friendly all spoke English very relaxed and she felt very safe there can’t remember where she went though 😂
Wait there’s a train from hamburg??? The car train from Altona takes bikes? I wonder how much it is… Would be amazing to bypass all of germany to ride down to italy. And 20° is a LOT better than the -1 we’ve got up here today!
@ I’ve done a bit of google… holy wow that’s expensive. Like half of what my bike cost me! Could ride a very long way with that much money, considering my 125 just sips fuel!
Thank you!! It depends on the season, but i paid just over 500€ for one way, with a shared cabin. I have paid as little as 400 with a private cabin, but you have to get the timing right!
Uff rough drivings but congrats on the maturity to go around puddles you do not have to go through. You are way more mature than me. and do not mock the panda. the rougher the terrain in italy the more pandas you se
As always - beautiful views, great video! You really help me through the ugly days in winter.

Thank you most heartily mate! Amazing what a couple of mm‘s in either direction can do!
@@AndyManCam Ahhh. Smut. I expected nothing less !
Hi Andy, yet another top vid, I need to start going some of these passes. 👍🏍
Thank you Andy for taking us along on your Italian steed on one of the most beautiful trials in the world!
My pleasure mate! Thanks for watching ! But trust me, this is just the start! 🏔️

My pleasure Peter! Thanks for joining!
What a great ride and adventure.
Thanks very much! I thought so too! Can’t wait for the next one!
Got to love the Alps. And you are not wrong. The north east side of the Italian TET is mainly paved.
I love that after many visits, I’m now getting to see a completely different side to them! I’m very glad i made the decision to swap East for west then! Thanks for confirming!! 😚
a lot of the mixet roads, looks like a killer tour/video

Although I still prefer the CB (can't help it :)) I have to agree that the offroad footage with this bike is very pleasant to watch.
Each to their own J! But I’m not swaying, the Aprilia is the best bike ever! 😜
A fine watch on a Saturday morn...😁👍
Happy to oblige dear boy!! Have a tremendous weekend!
Great vid Andy, the camera wasn’t taking a nap is was just ready to frame you when you stood up
Thanks Peter! Or maybe the camera just wanted to look at the mountain peaks, instead of me? A decision i can fully understand! 😆
The heidenau k60 are a fabulous grippy predictable tyre despite the way they look.

caio, bella motorcicloie grande toure
Grazie, grazie! 🙏🏻
Good morning Andy
Good morning Kev
Superb Adam Rieman Impression, laughed far too loudly at that one 😂
Cheers mate! I’ve obviously watched too much of his stuff in the lead up to this trip! 😂
What a road! (edit) What a day!
I know right! A real mixed bag and a gem to start with. It gets better though…

Cheers Nicholas! It’s SUCH a beautiful country! I’ve been a few times, but never seen it like this! This tour was a real eye opener. More to come!! 😃
@ hi Andy yes I’ve never been but seen some of it on utube one of my daughters went last year and she said it was a beautiful place people were so friendly all spoke English very relaxed and she felt very safe there can’t remember where she went though 😂
I had a very similar experience! Recommended destination all round!
Wait there’s a train from hamburg??? The car train from Altona takes bikes? I wonder how much it is… Would be amazing to bypass all of germany to ride down to italy. And 20° is a LOT better than the -1 we’ve got up here today!
Yepp!! It’s a revelation! It’s bloody expensive though. Although once you put in accommodation, fuel, tyre wear, arse pain etc… it makes more sense.
@ I’ve done a bit of google… holy wow that’s expensive. Like half of what my bike cost me! Could ride a very long way with that much money, considering my 125 just sips fuel!
Oi Italian job 😁 nice and steady
Hang on lads, I’ve got an idea…. 😜
Nice vid, what kind of cost is it to take a motorcycle on the train from Hamburg? The train seemed well used.
Thank you!! It depends on the season, but i paid just over 500€ for one way, with a shared cabin. I have paid as little as 400 with a private cabin, but you have to get the timing right!
@@AndyManCam Thanks for the info👍 Not cheap for a return ticket but I suppose it saves a lot of time and motorways.
Where's all the traffic?
Thankfully elsewhere!! It was end of season, so i think everything was fairly reduced in terms of tourists.
Uff rough drivings but congrats on the maturity to go around puddles you do not have to go through. You are way more mature than me. and do not mock the panda. the rougher the terrain in italy the more pandas you se
