Great video to share with us all. Those Swiss roads are something else! Looking forward to the next one, Italy awaits!

[@Papanchasonline]

Oh man, Italy has given even more, looking forward to sharing some special stuff.

[@KillickGreenieRN]

Nice one. I really enjoyed that. Your theme tune is perfect for the channel. I enjoy listening to your reflections. I served in the Royal Navy so I can relate to how you feel about being far from home. It's only the geographical distance between you and home. In reality home exists in your thoughts the minute you walk out of the door. Don't stop the vlogging, live in the moment because that's all we ever really have. Cheers.

[@Papanchasonline]

Thank you for this comment, it’s beautiful.

[@triumphthunderbird1]

I've being touring on a motorbike (Triumph's) for 20 years or so. Always learn a few phases and write them down in my wee book. I particularly love Switzerland! I'm ok with French, can just about get by with German and can talk with my hands in Italian as good as anyone. Great work! You have reminded me that I must get back into Switzerland sometime soon!

[@Papanchasonline]

Love this mate. I think Italy has quickly become my favourite spot so far... all to come!

[@antonyheadford6538]

Keep going mate , remember acceptance is half way to contentment 😎😎😎

Your videos are great. We are lucky to be able to enjoy your journey with you. Thanks for making and sharing your videos. The Passo di Tremelo is a bone shaker cycling on a road bike. I rode it many years ago. I suppose you could really cut down on your luggage by not camping or cooking staying in accommodation each night and eating in restaurants, etc., but this would completely change your tour and be a lot more expensive. You are doing great. Yes things have a habit of turning out for the better if you trust your instincts providing they are good of course. ATB.

[@Papanchasonline]

I can only imagine the shake with no suspension! Saw a few doing it. Exactly, Ill get around to some vids about the pack, the trip etc. Most likely once I'm back home and settled. Thanks as always man, big love.

[@gretchensghost]

Great video, I really like the vibe. I'm a bit late to the party obviously but I used the Archies camping app when I was over doing what you are doing. Nine times out of ten it would work. It throws up the occasional false lead for a campsite but we found some real gems of places through it. Also, I too am a major over-packer of a bike. I now have a list of things I took but never needed. Next time I will be going a lot lighter. Looking forward to the rest of the videos. edited to add: As Spike Milligan once said, 'If you don't have a plan, it can't go wrong.'

[@Papanchasonline]

Hey hey, never too late my friend! Thanks for the recommendation, 'the Camping-App' has been great thus far. LOVE the quote, what a gem. Ill be holding onto this. Thanks mate!

[@kelvinharrison6702]

Great vid.i have done the Stelvio Pass nice work out ha ha looking forward to the nxt 👍🏍

[@Papanchasonline]

Thank you dude! Incoming shortly...

[@Stefan_trekkie]

The Stelvio is very famous pass that is been used in 'giro de Italia' cycling tour, also there is Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 and 1000 models and few bicycles with that name too.. And an Alpha Romeo car model with the Stelvio name too... It's used for all sort of racing on two and four wheels.

[@Papanchasonline]

Not at all surprised, it was HUGE. Love the facts mate, you know far more than I do!

[@jawadzafar90]

Hello, thank you for your amazing content. I really appreciate all your work and effort in sharing your wonderful trip with us. I was wondering if you would feel comfortable with sharing also alö things that you have packed with you. In that way one could get good ideas on what to bring along if one might want to do a trip like yours. Thanks once again and keep it up. Amazing man 🤘

[@Papanchasonline]

Hey dude, thank you so much. I’m getting to that, will most likely be after the trip. But happy to do something sooner if you feel you need it now! Thanks for coming by the channel, really appreciate it 🤘🏻

[@jawadzafar90]

@@Papanchasonline Thank you for replying! Yes, that would be even better, one could get to know the things you felt were essential to bring along and further. Thanks again and I am following your trip with enjoyment together with my family. Rock on and enjoy mate.

[@ndcz76]

Your theme tune is stuck in my head aswell! Whats the name of the song?

[@Papanchasonline]

Haha it's pretty damn catchy! It's Chester Malone - Open Road

[@ndcz76]

​@@Papanchasonlinecheers! I'm loving the tour vlogs. I sold my Interceptor a few years ago and bought a BMW F900XR but you are inspiring me to get another Interceptor. I fancy one of the newer blacked out ones.

[@Papanchasonline]

They are great little bikes, they have their flaws for sure but for the price you can currently get one for... you can't really go wrong

[@buckymoto1784]

We will have been away for 16 days in total. The way I have been managing footage is by using an old mobile phone, 4tb crucial ssd, and a hub to move the files off my SD cards for the 4k camera and drone. I have 16x folders for each card. And I just looked at the SSD and it currently has 2.9tb of footage on it rn... 🤣🤣... Seriously not. Gona be some long nights re-watching the the footage to pic out what is usable.. For YT.. 😭

[@Papanchasonline]

My god - I don't envy you haha. Ill be honest, my load isn't too bad as I'm not shooting 4K but still... it is a lot to juggle. Cant wait to see it mate, hope the trip has been a blast!

[@buckymoto1784]

@@Papanchasonline Just rode through Arnhem.. Beautiful city.. Omw to the IJmuiden ferry over to Newcastle then Cairnryan ferry home to NI

[@Papanchasonline]

@buckymoto1784 safe trip back amigo! If you got us all in the drone clip I’d love to see it!

[@buckymoto1784]

@@PapanchasonlineThanks... I caught a glimpse of us as you rode into the carpark, on your vid. Currently camped in IJmuiden (Netherlands) to get on the ferry home tomorrow afternoon.. Just wanted a chill day off the bike dandering about in and out of coffee shops 😁

[@Papanchasonline]

@@buckymoto1784 I was debating this way home, how has it been?

[@hansjorgmoser1371]

Oberalp-Pass and Lukmanier and Maloja would get you to Stelvio (from Gotthard)

[@lucalfio2432]

As always great video! I have a question, what camera are you using? GoPro?

[@Papanchasonline]

Thank you man, I'm using the Action Pro 3

[@maxturner3604]

Was there something left on the bench you were sitting on at the lake?

[@Papanchasonline]

I hope not! If there was it's unfortunately going to be there for a long while!
