Yours is the best video yet on Stelvio, but I am glad that I actually rode it before watching. Otherwise I think that I would have chickened out! At the time, I was 76 years old, riding a Moto Guzzi V7. This was the ideal bike for me, because I am also short at 5 ft 8. It is just as well that Guzzi’s have strong clutches, because it got hammered, and I rode mostly in first gear, never got past second going up. Cyclists and camper vans were the ‘enemy’ , but I refused to stop for them, because I am sure that I would have dropped the bike. Much use of friction zone to keep it moving forward at all costs, hence the smoking clutch… I am glad I did it, but never again! (too old now, anyway, but I am having a go at Rajasthan in India on a Royal Enfield soon). I expect challenges dealing with traffic and cows, but hopefully no hairpins.

Which gear for hairpins, first or second with clutch?
@SteveHarleyTours8 күн бұрын
I will recommend go from Bormio if you’re not sure however only first gear until you clear the turn
@rockgsxr9 күн бұрын
Rode the Stelvio a couple of weeks ago, I'm not very experienced, big tall bike fully loaded, short legs . I've dropped my bike before so i am paranoid about it. I must admit after the first few hairpins i nearly gave up and turned around , it was quite terrifying, i've never had cars coming at me mid turn like this. I made it to the top by doing what you advised, moving far over to the left and letting the traffic pass inside of me then preoceeding when the bend is clear,

Thanks for the tips! Personally I did some training before riding in Alps (not particularly related, I just wanted to be a better rider) and because you can kinda compartmentalize, so I was able to apply what I learned. One commenter who said he got too cocky - yes, that can happen, it is necessary to always think what could happen. That's why I prefer to leave a space before going to the turn, so you don't have to react at the last moment; and to go in wide, leave at the right border - to avoid anything that may come the opposite way, as some people ride in the middle and seeing someone ride/drive at you is the worst thing that could happen. And it is not possible to see them as you could stationary traffic. Stay concentrated and I hope you and everyone will be able to enjoy the mountains!

Have you ridden it? For the first time it’s hard, no matter how experienced you are. No doubt after you have done it several times it gets easier, but once was enough for me and I have been riding in difficult conditions for many years. I appreciate the effort this guy put into pointing out the problems of Stelvio. Greece mountains make a good training ground (LOVE Greece!) but don’t get the volume of traffic and don’t have as many blind corners as Stelvio. Also Greek drivers are not as inconsiderate as certain Northern European drivers. Most Greeks started out on scooters, so have some idea of the difficulties bikers face.

Nice video i should have watched before i took Stelvio last week. Unexperienced rider only driven heavy bikes for 3 years.Made it all the way up and stopped for the view at the left side before the top were others also parked.When i backed out to go the last 100 yards i failed to get enough torq on the bike and the bike tipped to my right.I managed to keep the bike from touching the ground and others came to my rescue, Thanks .It was actually Okey to make the turns but sometimes really scary when incoming traffic was to heavy.So glad to done it anyway.Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the upload and sharing your most welcome advice on riding techniques. I enjoyed it a lot. But you won't see us riding it. We like to avoid these places. it's massively overcrowded . Causing a big nuisance for everybody, especially the locals. No fun at all. 😔 We should have done that 20-30 years ago when motorcycling wasn't that popular yet. Nowadays everybody seems to ride bikes.( and go skiing in the winter, for that matter, same story) And all over Europe roads are closed for motorcycles because of this nuisance. We prefer the far less crowded open roads. Nevertheless thank you for letting us experience it without actually being there

All respect to Stelvio hairpins. But, the road leading up to Stelvio is of high quality, the asphalt on the hairpins is excellent. If you want to see a challenging alpine road with very little maintenance and very narrow hairpins, look no further from the road on the Croatia’s Biokovo mountain. There’s a road within the Biokovo Nature Park leading all the way up to the summit of the Biokovo mountain. Summit is called Sveti Jure (Saint George) and it sits at around 1750 meters above sea. It’s a very steep, karst, rocky mountain separating Adriatic Sea from the Croatia’s interior. I’ve been up and down that road many times. We’ll see how it compares to Stelvio.
@SteveHarleyToursАй бұрын
Ok thanks for the info
@josipp7642Ай бұрын
@@SteveHarleyTours check it out on the Google Street view, then you’ll get the idea. The hairpins start just before the summit, last 200 meters before the top of the mountain. I’ve seen people getting scared and turning away from it and going back down.

this year I plan my 50th ride over the stelvio. this year not with my brave 900s, but with a royal enfield himalayan. whenever I drove this pass, I only had pure fun! I recommend that everyone is there very early and best of all this week. at the weeks it is simply too crowded, and the different possible speeds of bicycles, cars and motorcycles make too much stress for everyone. and when you see one of the mountain buses come - make it space. a grateful bus driver gives you a laugh and sometimes a loud signal :-) Don't look at your watch - get some time and enjoy this adventure. it's too bad if you don't see anything...

I drive the Stilfser Joch (passo stelvio) regularely since many years, earlier with my GS 1200 and now with a GS 1250 but I apply a totally different technique in the right turns (the left turns are easy anyways with all the space in the world if not an "open-upper" comes head on). Since the GS is so agile - remember its an Enduro Bike!! - in right turns, I stay completely on the right side and never open up prior. Its not necessary. The bike turns basically on the spot and you can pull it around with minimum turn radius. This way you basically have never to be concerned about approaching traffic not even busses or trucks. Because of the hairneedle nature of the curve they cannot cut it to the left and have to stay way right. Before the guys behind are finished with their open-up manouver I am already at the next hairneedle.
