[@gruff824]

Great camera work, looks like you had a fantastic time. Have visited these passes, you got nice weather, but you don't need to hang off a bike when its virtually upright.

[@coryatkinsmoto]

Its just the way he rides...Lee Parks school teaches this style www.totalcontroltraining.net

[@xjr13john]

Just what I thought, at one point he nearly fell off he was going so slow!!

[@coryatkinsmoto]

MK Biker you sure about that? Your “thought” deceives you ... no falling off due to slow speeds occurred during the filming of this trip. Thank you for your misguided critique

Great video... some really excellent drone shots. I was in Andermatt in September too... I think you may have stayed in the same hotel as I did!! I was there two nights, one full day. It poured down with rain all day, so my plan to ride all those wonderful passes went out of the window. Hoping to go back next year!

[@coryatkinsmoto]

they disliked I think because they don't like some of our riding style and the fact we went wide in order to get some of the shots. Sometimes you have to sacrifice a line in order to get a good shot.

Hangoff in Spitzkehren ? Es wundert mich, dass alle die Tour unbeschadet überlebt haben. Am Kurvenausgang regelmäßig im Gegenverkehr ist absolutes Nogo.

[@coryatkinsmoto]

Thanks for the critique Werner... everyone is a critic I guess. One of the great things about this tour is there was no traffic! So we could take liberties going wide on the corners to get video shots. I know it looks terrible to critics like you but it got nice shots. I assure you we have survived many tours unscathed since 2014 due to the fact one of the riders is an ex racer and the others have over 25 years experience. Cheers

[@DonPedro6901]

@@coryatkinsmoto that's an explain to my post in previous video ;)

[@thomasb.9949]

Das habe ich auch sofort gedacht. Meiner Meinung nach, möchten diese Fahrer gar keine Kurven fahren. Das muss die Erklärung fürs Fahren in den Linkskurven oder vor rechten Spitzkehren auf der Gegenfahrbahn sein. Und, vor allem, sollte auch bei keinem Gegenverkehr (wirklich auf der ganzen Tour kein Gegenverkehr) immer auf der eigenen Fahrbahn geblieben werden. Von einem Racer würde ich das erwarten, zumal er bei ausgefahrenen Kurven viel schneller und mit grösserer Schräglage das Fahren geniessen kann.

[@coryatkinsmoto]

@@thomasb.9949 Wir mögen keine Linkskurven, wenn sich Sand auf der Oberfläche befindet, oder rechte Haarnadeln, wenn sich Öl auf der Oberfläche befindet. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Fahrspur zu fahren war nur für Bilder. Dies war kein Video über die Fahrtechnik. Ich versichere Ihnen, dass während der Dreharbeiten zu diesem "Reise" -Video keine Tiere, Menschen, Motorräder oder Bäume verletzt wurden. Oh, und wir fahren sehr gerne in Kurven. In meinem nächsten Video geht es vielleicht um Technik, in der wir Kritikern wie Ihnen und dem Esel beibringen, wie Sie den Scheitelpunkt abschneiden.

Tony Svensson thanks Tony! Had to sacrifice some pretty lines in order to get good shots but it all worked out. Having a drone for trips like this is a must. Cheers

[@mjordan812]

Nicely done! There is, IMHO, no better selection of roads on Earth. I especially appreciated your "overview" of La Tremola - one of my favorite bits of road. 14 years (so far) riding them. Took my Mavic 2 Pro over last year and was mostly in the Vercors and a bit of Dolomites. Thanks for the ride along.

[@coryatkinsmoto]

Hi Kory! Thank you very much for this video. It's simply amazing!!! How many days did you travel from Munich to Munich?

[@coryatkinsmoto]

Jose A Sanchez thanks Jose! This was a 10 day trip using Munich as a base. I find 10 days is perfect for a trip like this. We based ourselves in Bormio, Italy for 3 days to access the passes in the area.

Eric N STL I would say mid June or early Sept are best for weather and less traffic. June there is still chances for colder weather but rare. Alps are a great spot to explore

[@wanionwombat9338]

Hey Cory, What cameras did you use on this ride? Great shots and clarity.

Cory your videos give me so much info where to ride in the alps next time. I noticed you have tried different bikes from 1290 SAS to 1250 RS. What do you think is best suited in long alpine tour? I tried 1250 RT last June and i found it heavy especially for me having a pillion. Your insight will be a big help. Thank you.

[@coryatkinsmoto]

dennis guinto thank you for your comment! The alps riding is so infectious! Personally, the RS is my new favourite! So stable, powerful and great in the corners compared to some of the others I’ve tried over the years. The 1250 RS is next on my list. Cheers

Hi Cory, Great video with excellent drone footage . My son and I did most of the same passes as you last year and will probably go back , the only unenjoyable part was riding down from Scotland. ( I hate motorways). Regarding the armchair critics , it's so easy to criticize others but at the end of the day you all got back safely and didn't impede on any one else.We did experience some very aggressive local riders wanting to enjoy the passes who cut us up occasionally and caused oncoming traffic to slow or move however I am sure this is not a reflection on all of the decent motorcyclists of these countries .As far as I am aware the IAM (Institute Of Advanced Motoring) teaches to use all of the road when it is safe to do so in order to get a better view and a quicker line through bends , this is not the same as racing on the road which you definitely weren't It is also impossible to see what you can see when watching from a video in our armchairs lol. Any way I enjoyed watching so keep up the high standard and tell your Anastasia to keep sticking her knee out if it makes her happy :-) We as you say are all entitled to our opinions but if they watched some of the nut cases on here they would leave you alone . I have been riding for 43 years and am still trying to improve on every ride , we are never to old to learn , no one knows it all. Keep safe

[@coryatkinsmoto]

Gordon Kerr thank you Gordon! A pleasure reading your comments . I’m a firm believer in a combo of counter steering and hang off for the best ride. Some here seem to disagree but I don’t make these videos for them I offer them up for those who have never seen these roads before and who may want to take on the adventure someday! Scotland is on my list some day as well. Safe travels and keep well!
