Somehow we just forget all the wet cold rides... What a stunning day on the bike!

[@thelikeablerider8800]

It really was👌😎

[@bikeral85]

Not going to lie but I found the music, scenery and actions shots all combined felt really emotional to me!! I was not expecting that sort of reaction so thank you

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Thank you Alan, I'm glad it touched you on an emotional level, it did me while editing it👍😜

[@ledwardio]

A great insight into an area I'll be visiting next year 👍🏼

[@thelikeablerider8800]

You'll have a blast, and as you saw not many people there!

[@Zukilover305]

Absolutely love the ride with you. Can’t imagine being there myself. I like the nice music. You added to a lot of portions of your video. It felt right!

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Thank you very much for your kind comment, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@MGman100]

Absolutely stunning. I can't believe how narrow those roads in the mountains were though!

Yeah was a bit of a squeeze🤣

[@TT_STUIE]

Had to keep pausing to take in the views. Jaw dropping 😍 Nice vid as per 👌

It was ridiculously spectacular, and one I'd not done before! Been it the area many times, no idea how I missed that one🤦‍♂️

Beautifully done Shaun! Brings back the joy of my 2019 ride, and I thank you for that! Wonderful views and well done edits with. the music.

Just WOW, nothing else to say or add.

Amen!😜

[@mickdegreek2007]

Done that pass 3yrs ago, the opposite way to you. Very nerve racking with the narrow road and no barrier..LOL....I have to say its the most difficult but beautiful pass i've ever done.. Another awesome video..

[@thelikeablerider8800]

It's up there with the best of them! I find coming down always more nerve racking, but you catch more of the views that way. Going up is easier to ride but you'd missing a lot of those amazing views.

Mega roads, with incredible scenery. Epic ride. Great edit. Thanks for sharing 🔝🎬🎥🏔️🏔️

Cheers Mike, I had a blast making it👍😜

Very picturesque. Not sold on some of the narrow roads but sometimes it's just nice to cruise along and enjoy the scenery. Keep them coming! 😁👍

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Absolutely! Sometimes it's nice to rip one over a good flowing pass, but also nice to take the odd dodgy one steady and enjoy the views👌😎

[@dalley99]

Did the Gavia about 15 years ago and like Peter below, it was in thick cloud. At least you couldn't see the drops 😄. You're right about doing too many passes in one day. I stayed in Cortina d'Ampezzo in the Dolomites a few years ago and on a ride out did several passes in one day, was absolutely shattered when I got back to the hotel.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

It's hard work but it's worth it, altgough on the previous day doing 300km I was baggage by the end of the day.

[@arjentdm]

Stunning as usual...Thx again!

[@steveball2307]

Brilliant ride, not a day for being a pillion mind..made my hands sweaty just watching!

Very very nice😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦

[@petermichalski2763]

Hi Shaun, a big thank you for making my Sunday morning! Went up the Gavia from South to North about 2 months ago. But we climbed it up on a rainy and rather very misty day - after leaving the trees level our view limited to 30-50m; further up only 10m sometimes. Hardly can imagine how we would dealt this pass without Navi - Properly might have missed some of the hairpins up there.😵‍💫 Anyway, thanks for this video giving me the stunning views we hoped for but missed due to that foggy condition. Please keep going creating this fascinating footage.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Cheers Peter It's an amazing mountain pass! I can imagine how challenging that would be with zero visibility🤦‍♂️

[@baylatron]

Some of the most stunning views ever excellent video and great editing skills 🤘

We were there this summer, it is a bit of a blur. Trying to remember all the places and passes we took. 🤔👍🍻

[@thelikeablerider8800]

I never really pay attention to where I am🤦‍♂️🤣 and I'll only remember being there on another visit! Altgough a few years ago I started buying stickers from every pass I'd been on, they're stuck in my gear wardrobe in the garage.

Hi Shaun, not much run off room on those passes :) stunning scenery. I will definitely get to Italy at some point.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

No not much at all, not the place to get things all wrong🤦‍♂️🤣

[@glasseyalley]

Brought back some good memories there seeing Gavia again on your instagram post a couple of days ago. Not so much for my wife who was convinced we were about to die coming around every corner.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

lovely but crazy tight on the edges aswell man man

Not for the faint hearted!🤣

It’s been a few years since I did those roads. Last time I did the Gavia there was still snow and ice at the top

Fantastic footage T.L.R. !!!

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Many thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Wasn't half bad riding it either👍😜

[@picrr529]

Fantastic scenery, Shaun! As you do trips like this and get more acquainted with the new bike, I wonder if there are any things that would make for an updated video about the 2021. The reason I ask is, I have just ordered a new gen ('23 XR M). I am coming from a '17 XR and wondered how the new relationship is coming along. Keep up the good work, Sean 😉

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Hadn't thought about doing one, but a few people have asked it.

[@ivanrushtonthelonewolfrides]

Superb video I’ve just started vlogging and can see I’ve a long way to go. Couple of questions is the 360 a useful tool and how long long do you suggest a vid to last Yours is superbly put put together. Can’t wait to see the next episode 😊

[@thelikeablerider8800]

I love the 360! A lot of people didn't like them at first, but think they're warming to it. As long as you don't go mental with constantly spinning the camera view, it works well for me. I would suggest keeping your vids shorter at first, you'll find only regular viewer will watch longer content. Keep an eye on the analytics to make sure your going forwards and not backwards, but ultimately just make the content that you want to make. Getting hang up on the numbers (which we all do) will make things become a chore!

[@wltrlg]

Ahh so welcome entertainment in these off season months, thanks! Sorry, could not get which passes you were on? Can you maybe add them to the description? 😊

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Will do but for now I'll leave you them here: Passo Gavia Passo del Tonale Over lake Lago di Santa Giustina Passo Rolle The town I stayed was Fiera di Primiero

[@wltrlg]

@@thelikeablerider8800 Excellent, thanks!

[@SaskRiderMoto]

Beautiful views. Great video. Question for you and if you covered this before sorry I may have missed it. What software are you using on your phone (not sure if it is an iPhone or Android) that is recording with the cardo system? I would love to have that instead of an extra mic in the helmet. Thanks and keep the videos coming. Love your bike.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Thanks very much👍 I use the Zoom F2 audio recorder which still uses an external mic in the helmet. The F2 BT version has Bluetooth which means you can control everything over the app (which you see running in the video) it works great as it can just stay put in my jacket pocket👍

[@not-this-fartoofar3606]

Brilliant ride Shaun. Amazing video. I am in the planning stage of my euro tour next year. Watching you do this, Cant wait. Do you pre book your hotels or just book them on the fly?

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Cheers Dude👌😎 On previous Tours I'd pre book, but this one I completely winged it and really enjoyed it. Suppose it depends on what you want to do, on this one I just wanted to travel and do as much as I could. Others Tours I stopped in some places for 2 or 3 nights so you can happily pre book those👍😜

You're more than welcome! Probably still have it on PC, but the route will be full of other stuff from the trip. This was from the Stelvio SS38 South picking up the SS300 to the Gavia Pass.

Are you able to make a video on how you record your audio? Your audio is perfect. Keen to know what you use.

I used to use the mic adapter from gopro, but had many problems with it. I'm now using the Zoom F2 which is an awesome bit of kit, but like video it still needs editing and tweeking👍😜

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Hey Danny Liking the Cobra, and makes for a nicer sound over time. The XR is known to be quieter than most, its all about the induction tone than exhaust. The cobra has made it slightly deeper, but it's not hugely different to Stoke. You won't find many that are tbh, a m8 of mine has the Akra on his, and for the money it's also not a huge change, altgough does look the business.
