What a great bit of Road, one day we will be there , will catch up , enjoy your ride , today almost 40c temperature , Stay Safe . From John & Tanina. South Australia. 🏍🏍🏍🏍😊🍻🍻☕🍽👍

[@MotoVibes]

Thank you guys! 40 degrees C - wow! almost a bit hot to ride a bike isn't it? We had a day of offroad riding in the summer at 36°C and that was really the upper limit - better to have some 🍻 instead on das ike this!

[@jvl4832]

Favorite time of year; beautiful colorful landscape, pertfect roads and wonderful lines... ya nailed it! Even Sitting on my couch i started moving into the curves... tomorrow Ìm riding....thanks for the ride 😍

[@MotoVibes]

Thank you very much - we have to savor every last moment of this season - especially since it had such a late start- enjoy your ride today!

Nice movie! Was in Harz in 2019. Did most of the paved roads, really great. Even found a huge network of gravel roads and had it basically to myself. Only one issue: Was alone and mobile coverage was nil.

[@MotoVibes]

That would be interesting to discover the gravel roads in this area. I know there are still places in Germany - especially in the former east were legal offroad tracks are common. Just a matter of finding them I guess ;-)

[@KMeyn]

@@MotoVibes Yeah I was just wafting about, then while on a small, narrow pavement road I saw on the GPS something beind a barn. it led me into a network :) Else, with rgds to gravel heaven, and being a Norwegian, Sweden/Norway will offer a plethora of possibilities.

[@bradleyalexander5821]

Your videos ALWAYS make me wanna jump on my bike and carve up some mountain twisties. Alas, this weekend I’ve got house chores....🤬. Yet ALWAYS so fun to watch. Thanks for the ride along. 👍🏼 😎 🇺🇸 🌎

[@MotoVibes]

Thank you and thanks for watching. Today would have been a nice day for a ride too - perfect day in the fall - however, my little PC upgrade idea ended up beeing a full rebuilt of my video editing maschine - I figured since we will be spending a lot more time at home again this winter I might as well spend some coin on my PC. Still beats house chores though ;-) cheers! 😎

[@cosmo00013]

amazing ride...and beautiful fall colors....thank you!!

[@MotoVibes]

Thank you very much - there will be a 3-4 min edit of this trip coming up soon - including some drone shots of the area - I love the fall for motorcycle riding

[@cosmo00013]

[@604Bluelight]

Beautiful roads. It looks a lot like our roads here in Western Canada. Thanks for the video.

[@MotoVibes]

I am sure it does - reminds me of that one time where went to Vermont and Maine (that time in a car) just to see the fall foliage. Miles and miles of beauty. I really love having seasons in a year. Thank you for watching ;-)

[@604Bluelight]

@@MotoVibes I love fall riding. Unfortunately, it means riding season is almost over. Winter is just too harsh up here in Canada to ride all year. But spring riding is great too!

[@MotoVibes]

@@604Bluelight same here - I sometimes take the bike out for short ride in the winter when the weather allows but just layering up to stay warm is a bit of a pain.

Nice trip Do u have the gpx file // Patrick

[@MotoVibes]

@@Patrickcobra thank you Patrick. Check the description for the location - I put a few markers in so you can find it on google maps 😉 I hope that helps for now - cheers Oliver

[@zzrrf]

Good job , 800 k trip is a big day riding and the KTM handled the twisties perfectly , as always ride safe and no rush, the Beers will always be cold when you get there, Cheers paul

[@MotoVibes]

Yeah - the last long ride for this season and the only time I made it to the Harz Mountains this year - this first attempt ended prematurely with a damaged rear tire. The cold beer at the end of each ride is almost a ritual now ;-)

[@NVK85]

6:27 looks like a blessing from a father)))) "I bless you, my children" :D

Dude - you crack me up 😂 looks really funny when you think of it like this 😉 I will keep that in mind for the future greetings, uhm I mean blessings 👍

[@zeplin4078]

Hi there, great road not so windy as the ones in France but in excellent condition. lots of fun.

[@MotoVibes]

Thank you - there are definitly more exciting roads out there - even in the Harz. Somehow this roads gets lots of traffic

[@P6_7R_Nick]

They're blooming fast those 1290 Adv bikes aren't they. Was that with the E07 on too?

[@MotoVibes]

Yes they do - the other rider was some random rider that was out enjoying the beautiful day as well ;-)

[@liamrennison2772]

Well done once again!! We both know what the machine feels like 💪🏼 could you give me some reference point to use for navigation in that area???? (Cities/towns/roads) keep it up worrior

[@MotoVibes]

Thank you very much! I road is called B81 - it starts as a branch off from the B4 and continues north-east. A reference point is the "Raststätte Netzkater" - a popular hangout for motorcycle riders. The video shows almost the full length of the B81 before it merges with the B242. I hope this helps - I added this to the description of the video now ;-)

[@liamrennison2772]

Awesome!!! Thank you very much.. maybe in the future hooking up for a drive.. my mates drive the 1250 gs adventures but for me its always ktm!! We come from the middle of Holland and did a trip in the Eifel last year!! Keep it up 💪🏼

[@MotoVibes]

@@liamrennison2772 Yes - maybe - let's see what this year will bring - looks like a slow start again - Germany just extended the lockdown - The Eiffel is supposed to be very beautiful and nice place to ride! I have not seen it yet.

[@guydumont7904]

great road in a colorful landscape, pitty you he-ave to cover your speed but better take no risk Also another windscreen ?

[@MotoVibes]

sorry for the late response - thank your for your nice feedback ;-) Yes, the windscreen is new for this season - I primarily got it for offroad use and kept it on all season now. I did a short review on the windscreen that is in the upload pipeline and will be publish in a few weeks

thinking about going here on the bike next week for 4 days . is it worth the treck from england and are there enough rides for 4 good days out in the area .

[@MotoVibes]

@@daveosborne4273 I would say there is about 600 km of road in the Harz that I have in my GPX library. You can ride many roads from the other direction as well doubling the experience 😉

Love your vids. Please accept this in the spirit in which it is given. I feel in an effort to suppress wind noise, engine note sound (which seems important to your production values) is being suppressed. Love your vids and the engine note is an important point in my enjoyment. Think of another way to present the wonderful engine note you have ❤️

[@MotoVibes]

I get your point - sound is still something that I need to improve. I have tried a few things in the past and ended up with current setup which does not always give good results. This particular ride was especially bad. The problem is with the source material in this case - I did not add any filters but I did turn off the helmet mic for most of the ride in post production. I have got long winter ahead of me - maybe I can come up with something for next seaon ;-)

[@stefanbosmans3234]

Nice road. Was the plan for 2020 ''Freundschaftsfahrt' from Belgium in the Harz Mountains but Covid decided otherwise. 400 belgian motorcyclist were disappointed. Hopefully in 2021 will bring good news. No more speedo!!

[@MotoVibes]

Thank you - I hope you will get to see this area next year. Covid definitely messed up most people's plan this year but I cannot complain - I had quite a few good times on the bike despite all the restrictions ;-)

[@patrickcooper9641]

Hello, beautiful road. I was wondering when you would start covering your speedo so that people can't read your speed. I guess winter is around the corner for you. Thank you for letting us see the world through your eyes/camera. Cheers

[@MotoVibes]

Thank you Patrick - honestly it was not that crazy fast - most of it was well within speed limit - just wanted to avoid any issues ;-)

beautiful roads/riding. I do miss seeing the speed reference, but totally get why you covered it. The helmet reflects it from time to time :-) Do you tend to use the (GPS) map to gage the sharpness of corners on unfamiliar roads?

[@MotoVibes]

Thank you very much - I wasn't racing down the road - most of the road is limited at 100 km/h anyway and that is the speed I was going mostly. it is just a precaution ;-) As for the GPS to gage the upcoming road: absolutely - I do take a quick peek at the upcoming curviness of a road just to see what is coming up ;-)

Nice vid!! Welches Windschild ist da an deinem bike? LG

[@MotoVibes]

vielen Dank - das ist ein PUIG Racing screen

[@thorstenbethe1519]

Du hast gewechselt? Die andere war doch super....

[@MotoVibes]

@@thorstenbethe1519 Ich hatte das kleine Racing Screen für meine Offroadfahrten beim Enduro Action Team gekauft - da macht sich ein großes Touring Windschild nicht so gut. Somit blieb es den ganzen Sommer drauf bis zur Offroad Tour im September wo ich auf dem Hinweg auch einiges an Autobahnfahrten hatte. Das geht sogar halbwegs mit dem kleinen Racing Screen. Jetzt wollte ich mal sehen wie so eine 800 km - ca. 2 Std Autobahn - die restlichen 7 Std waren Landstraße - damit geht. Fazit erstaunlich gut aber auf der Autobahn wäre mit das GIVI Windschild lieber gewesen ;-)

[@FxRiderST]

What I like about Europe is that passing allowed almost everywhere.

[@fennek2w662]

right at the start of the video he passes a car when its not allowed xD

[@FxRiderST]

I said almost :) But really, in the USA the entire way would be solid double yellow divided and he'd have to constantly running over it

[@tourhuntr]

wow sehr cooll, was 1 rennstrecke da. Na wars Tacho verpixeln nervig und anstrengend?

[@MotoVibes]

😂 allerdings - dauert eine Weile - allerdings ist hier Davinci Resolve (lerne hier immer noch ordentlich dazu seit dem Wechsel im Sommer) etwas schneller als Premiere Pro. Mit ein bisschen mehr Übung geht das auch beim nächsten Mal etwas schneller. Hat sich aber gelohnt für diese schöne Strecken - ein 3-4min Edit mit Drohnenaufnahmen etc. kommt auch noch von der Tour - finde den Herbst wirklich schön zum Fahren!

[@tourhuntr]

@@MotoVibes ich nehme Sony Vegas denn der ist zwar langsamer als dr aber dafür genauer und er macht gute und kleine h265 files. Was du auch noch machen kannst ist das Handy so montieren dass es den Tacho verdeckt. Geschwindigkeit hast du ja auf dem Navi

[@MotoVibes]

@@tourhuntr bin jetzt in den letzten Zügen meines mittlerweile dritten PC Upgrades in den letzten 2 Jahren 😂 Da DR sehr stark die GPU nutzt lohnt sich das jetzt hoffentlich - auch ist der Speicher mal wieder ausgegangen - also kommt jetzt endlich ein RAID 5 rein - da brauchst dann ein neues Netzteil und Gehäuse und schon hat man eine schöne Bastelaufgabe für den Freitagabend. Lerne noch was alles geht bei DR aber ich bin total begeistert im Vergleich zu Premiere Pro - DEUTLICH weniger Abstürze und das Rendern geht VIEL schneller. Mal sehen was das Hardware Upgrade jetzt noch bringt. komm noch zu nichts, da ich die Daten erst aufs RAID spielen muss -dauert schon den ganzen Tag und ist noch nicht fertig

Allerdings hat er einen anderen Fokus - da geht es mehr um unterschiedliche Bikes und qualitativ sehr gut aufgenommen Motorsound - oft auf den selben Strecken - d.h. es geht mehr um die Bikes als die gefahrenen Strecken. Meine Onboards sollen allen die es interessiert einen ungeschnittenen Einblick in interessante Strecken geben. Solche Videos schaue ich mir selbst häufig an (von anderen Leuten auf YT) wenn ich Strecken für eine Tour zusammen stelle - z.B. für meine Offroad Tour im Piemont dieses Jahr - ich wollte ein Gefühl bekommen für den Schwierigkeitsgrad der Offroadstrecken. cheers ;-)
