This is a collection of videos from my trip to Italy in 2019. I'm bored out my brains during lockdown number 3 here in the UK, thinking of better times ahead, so I thought I'd get some editing practice in.
I'd only been riding for just about a year when I went away on this trip and had never rode on roads anything like this, it was a great way to learn and figure out how to ride the bike.
I didn't even scratch the surface with the amount of great roads to ride in the area, any road or direction you went it was just a pleasure.
My trip was about 2500 miles in total, covered in 10 days.....it was epic😁.
I will hopefully be back out there this summer if all this covid shit gets under control!
I used a #gopro session 5 camera to capture this video.
I stayed at The Rider Hotel in obbergeddon for the duration of my trip. ...

Thoroughly enjoyed the POV ride With you.

I'm a new rider and Iron 883 owner. I have to give you your flowers because you have some of the most exciting ride-along footage on KZbin, not because of the scenery but the way you handle the motorcycle. I only wish I could see the gears change, I'd bet I'd learn a lot from the way you handle the twists and turns.

[@harley883uk4]

Thanks, I appreciate the comments 👍 watch tutorial videos on KZbin for body position, trial braking... Your riding will come along a lot quicker, that's what I did. I'd only been riding for 1 year when I took this trip. Motojitsu on KZbin has good tutorials to watch. Ride safe👍

Most underrated 883 video ever!! 👍 What tires are you running?

Thanks dude👍 much appreciated. Running Avon cobra's, they are so much better than the stock tyres that come with it.

hai montato la forcella della R oppure è una R? did you mount the fork from 883R or is it an 883R?

Hello. Did you feel exhausted by th bike? Becausea i am thinking about geetting a Harley and someone told me you will not enjoy, you will feel tired by the evibrations etc.

[@FormandMao83]

Could you mention how ur baby is set up sounds wonderfull up there? Perhaps in the description?

[@harley883uk4]

Thanks. I was thinking of doing a walk around video of the bike, so might do that soon👍

[@darenkent6987]

Nice video but I think I would have ridden a lot slower to enjoy the scenery can’t see what your rush was.

[@harley883uk4]

Cheers. I enjoy riding at a faster pace, was making the most of the roads out there, I'd never ridden anything like it, was buzzing the whole time. Still took all the scenery in👍

[@KT-GoNavy]

Great lookin bike. I'm building mine now. Where did you get that awesome oil tank cover?

Thanks👍 I took the cover off and drilled out the holes myself, then painted it.

hey Harley - what kind of longsleeve are you wearing?

[@geeek200000]

How many kilometers do you do with one gaz tank ?

[@rechiecebreros2350]

I'm planning to get this model, how come there is a lot of space between your engine and the fuel tank? also the rear tire seems you also have change, what is the size of your rear tire?

[@harley883uk4]

I've done I lot of mods to the bike, I've done a tank lift mod on it that's why there is the space between the engine and tank. The rear tyre is standard size but I switched to avon cobra chrome tyres. They look and ride so much better than the standard one that come with the bike👍

[@clum262]

Ok mate, cool. I'll come back to later and let you know how I done it and where i stopped off👍

[@clum262]

@@harley883uk4 thank you!

[@harley883uk4]

So assuming your getting the tunnel to Calais, this is how I done it. Day 1: Calais to Oberkirch Germany took about 9 hours with stops, I stayed there the first night. Long boring motorway ride but wanted to get to Italy as quickly as possible. Day 2: Oberkirch to Innsbruck took about 6 hours I think. First half boring motorway but finally you will start to see mountains eventually! I stayed the night in Innsbruck. For these 2 days I just used Google maps to get there as I wanted the fastest route. Day 3: This is where it starts to get fun. I stayed at a place called rider hotel in obereggen Italy in the Dolomites. This was about 3 hours from Innsbruck. I can't recommend this place enough! Any direction you take out of this hotel is just amazing mountain roads. Its a motorbike ran hotel, they have a catalog of routes to pick from and they give you GPS files to put straight in your sat nav. I used an app called calimoto for a sat nav while I was out there, it was awesome. Choose a location like Lake garda, stevie pass or what ever and let this app direct you there, that's what I done, you won't be disappointed! By the way this app is shit in the UK, it just takes you to shit little back roads but out there it was awesome. On the way back I did most the journey on a vehicle train and that is the way to do it! Expensive but saves pretty much 2 days of shit riding. This is how I would do it again: Calais to dussledorff Germany, that's about 3 hours. Get on the vehicle train that night, leaves at about 8pm I think. Sleep on the train over night arrive in Innsbruck at 9am the next day. 3 hours ride and your in the dolomites bosch done happy days! Trust me the Dolomites is where its at! No traffic just pure amazing roads and scenery. Barely saw any police and if you do I think they are pretty relaxed compared to say Switzerland where it sounds so bad I don't think I'd even bother. Hope this helps👍

No, just lots of places I wanted to see in my trip over there and that's the pace I enjoy riding at. Was still taking in all the scenery.
