As my channel is non-monetised to avoid you from the annoyance of adverts...if you enjoyed the video, please give it a THUMBS UP above, and COMMENT below, as this all helps to put my video in front of other motorcyclists on KZbin.

Very enjoyable that was Paul! The bit after Jaun (apparently pronounced Jawn - as in Yawn with a j. Who knew.) brought back the passes ridden Alps with Attitude tour, when we stayed in Weggis 👍

[@YarroMoto]

Thanks for the Jawn tip. Glad you liked the reminder of those Passes from our previous trip, which was amazing and still, the greatest number of views on my channel. All the best.👍

Nice passes this episode, great weather makes a great trip.

[@YarroMoto]

If you enjoyed Ep2, don’t miss next Fridays Ep3, which has some amazing footage, on another sunny day! Thanks for commenting 👍

[@davidsandilands1285]

The series just gets better, well edited and reflects a great trip. So fortunate with the weather.

[@YarroMoto]

Glad you enjoyed it David and thanks for commenting 👍

[@davidcarson9085]

Another great video, love riding first thing when the roads are empty and the temperature cool, not soo keen when it gets up to 32 and slow traffic with roundabouts but you need to have someway of joining up the great roads 😊

[@YarroMoto]

Hi David, yup, a cool, low traffic start to a ride is always great. Sometimes it’s sun in one Pass and I’ve been soaked (in the past) on the next Pass. It’s called… Touring!😂 thanks for the comments. Paul.

Great Ride, Paul 🎉🎉🎉

[@YarroMoto]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it Jason 👍

[@neilbenton1152]

Really enjoyed the series of yours ! Hopefully I'm going April on my aprilla tuono factory just concerned about fuel consumption as my bike will only do 100 miles on a tank 😂

[@YarroMoto]

Thanks for the comment Neil. You’ll be fine on the Tuono🥴😬

[@VijayKumar-nc]

its my dream to ride in those alps..

[@YarroMoto]

They are spectacular Vijay! Where are you based, that doesn’t easily let you ride the Alps? Cheers, Paul.

[@aunoates6617]

As with some of your previous films Paul, I am enjoying trying to spot changes like the new car park and making comparisons with my memories of the area when I travelled through there more than 32 years ago. The photo I use for my KZbin account was taken up the Simplon Pass in 1991. Even though it was July I remember there was lots of snow around.🏔️

[@YarroMoto]

Thank you for your memories of that area and the changes. Glad to hear you enjoyed watching and I hope to keep your interest. Ep3 is more of the same in glorious weather👍

[@davidedge4557]

Triumph have lost that lovely triple sound with this new Tiger.

[@YarroMoto]

I know, I know. It’s not a sweet sound, although it sounds ok when I stick a rear cam on and use that audio.

[@keithprentice2100]

Paul. Did you have to buy a vignette when you entered Switzerland ? Cracking video as usual.😊

[@YarroMoto]

Hi Keith, I didn't, as I understand that you only need a vignette using the motorways and I knew I would be entering/leaving 'Airolo' on side roads via Passes. If I'm generally riding through Switzerland, I buy a vignette to cover myself and to save the grief of a fine, if I'm pushed onto a motorway unexpectedly because of a Deviation or something!

[@keithprentice2100]

Cheers Paul

[@hoojamaflicks]

thanks for taking us along on the journey. hard coded subtitles tho?

[@YarroMoto]

What does Hard Coded Subtitles mean?

[@hoojamaflicks]

@@YarroMoto the subtitles are part of the video. you can't turn them off.

[@YarroMoto]

I added the subtitles myself using the editing software…

[@ryanpa2000]

Is that myrouteapp uploaded to a Garmin Zumo XT for navigation?

[@YarroMoto]

Certainly is Ryan, successfully used MRA for my routes, for years.

[@colin9967]

Great trip , was it the hydraulic clutch ? . 👍

[@YarroMoto]

I think so, but it hasn’t played up since I adjusted at the clutch lever end. Glad you enjoyed the trip Colin👍

[@colin9967]

@@YarroMoto that's good news . I am interested in this bike and I am keen to know the problems as well as the positives . Maybe get the dealer to check if clutch needs bleeding . Looking forward to the next episode .

[@YarroMoto]

@@colin9967 Colin, the clutch has been the only issue, which delayed my original collection by a few days, when Triumph had initiated a clutch part change. It's booked in for an annual service in May, so will get them to check it then...assuming it gets me that far! Loads of positives for me but guess it's down to your height etc. Screen is perfect for me on motorways, no buffeting at all. Definitely lighter and more chuckable...when I haven't got the suitcases onboard! I always advise anyone looking to change bike, to use reviews as a guide but it's what suits YOU!. Narrow down to 3 bike choices and try to ride them back2back on the same day to compare, if poss. This approach has provided some surprising results, but it's saved me from some £???? mistake. Let me know what you decide to buy. Paul.

[@colin9967]

@@YarroMoto Thanks Paul , I am 6' tall , so I usually have problems with buffeting but lots of positive reviews from tall riders on that score . I bought a street triple rs last year purely on the basis I loved the look of it . The heart says yes please , the body says no thanks ! . I won't purchase another bike without a test ride . I have a deposit down on a tiger GT pro and rally pro with a test ride first to see what I think , but since triumph have offered the Tiger 1200 with 2k off , the price difference is too narrow to make any possible compromises on the 900's worth the small saving . Cheers for any info from anybody 👍

[@YarroMoto]

@@colin9967 As you may have read elsewhere, I'm 5'11", so your height should be perfect for the GT Pro screen. I didn't need the little extra flip screen that you can add to the top lip of it. Just test and decide for yourself though. Sounds like a great deal off a new 1200 and the extra bhp is nice. I haven't tested the latest version of the 900 GT Pro, but I personally found the wind noise on the first iteration of the 900 horrendous. As previously mentioned on film, they both still sound like a 'bag of spanners' though! 😂
