Welcome to Passo del Brocon! Narrow road, lots of bumps, and even some play mates appearing this time! Sounds just right for my Little Honda!!

my windshield: amzn.to/2k3q3Yu
Does the windshield work/help?
It does. Takes a lot of wind pressure from your upper body. But in my case it throws most of the wind to the top part of my helmet. Which means there is less pressure but more wind noise while riding. I mainly use the shield to keep insects away from my GoPro anyway. It also works quite well for that.

Please excuse the typo. If you can find it.

[@daniusrides9889]

Schaaf Media... found it :)

[@Schaaf]

one virtual cookie for you :D :D

[@daniusrides9889]

Schaaf Nehme ich gerne an :D ich muss gestehen, dass ich des Öfteren auf Pause drücke, um zu lesen was du schreibst XD

[@REDLINERUNNER]

Schaaf I LOVE IT when you approach RED LINE or even hit the rev limiter... :)

[@Ladosligese]

no typo found but .. can u please tell me how many km`s on it in this vid ? and IF u still have that baby now how many on it currently ? cause it sure does sound sweet . and ive been looking at a CB 500 with 55 k on it . with nice service intervals and looks good

[@Zociety6477]

Jesus christ almighty. Right after you passed them and started street rossi-ing it up, literally gave me a rush of adrenaline. Insane level of control over your machine. Brilliant

[@Schaaf]

Thanks Jordan

[@bajo76]

Totaly agree with you. Cant understand the road blockers. Personaly i dont like if someone is behind me so i let them overtake.

[@Schaaf]

that's the thing. I immediately feel "under pressure" when it happens. It's also why I immediately make way

[@bajo76]

Schaaf Exactly. Pressure is the right term. Dein Videos sind genial mach weiter so und schär dich nicht um die hater ;-)

[@DeusRides]

I feel the same as you do, but since I don't ride even close to that, I'm mostly letting other people overtake me. What I find impressive, is that you manage to cool down rather quickly afterwards. Nice video, as always.

[@Kwakboy]

Yups, I feel the same way. Although I must admit not to be tempted to return the favor breathing in their necks for some hot corners too. ;) Not always a safe thing to do, I know... But just to check how good (they think) they really are and before I can behave myself again.

[@Boa74]

Same here. When one is faster (and if he appears in the mirrors it's obvious that has a faster pace) I let him go. And maybe I can be a little faster following a rider better than me

[@JonathanBaston]

Your humility and willingness to admit when you are wrong is so refreshing. Thank you @Schaaf. Great content!

[@Schaaf]

Jonathan Baston thank you very much. But I have to admit that I wouldn't really be able to do it any other way than via the honest approach.

[@johnverdonk5754]

it's 2023 and i'm watching this vid still with great pleasure.and i say SCHAAF,you're the mán then and now..

[@Schaaf]

Thank you, John

[@knarfis]

Schaaf, while this reply is 4 years after the video was made, I think it is important to say this. Keep the content that you felt you could have cut out. Your bad behavior is a wonderful, teachable moment for anyone watching. It is one thing to be told not to do something. But seeing wrong and then being told; "Don't do this", has a far greater impact for teaching and understanding. There are far to many videos out there that show the wrong things, but do not admit it was wrong. Any new rider seeing said wrong things could and would get the wrong impression and think such actions are ok. You, did wrong, then admitted you did wrong and explained why. That has so much power when teaching new, up and coming and experienced riders. One does not know what is wrong until they see and are told it was wrong. Thank you sir.

[@Schaaf]

Thanks a lot mate. I agree with you. But fortunately my riding these days became so reasonable that I'm not even presented with the question of showing or not showing something. If I film it there'll be a video ;)

[@ilacika]

Bravo Schaaf - great ride as ever. Not polite not letting you through, but your honest words are truly refreshing - that's what distinguishes a great biker from a good one in my eyes. Keep your honesty and keep us entertained with your twisties, and remain an example for all of us who are not grown up enough to admit our mistakes :)

[@Schaaf]

thanks a lot, much appreciated! :)

[@Jajeweet]

Admitting your mistakes like this is how you get such a supportive fanbase man.

[@Schaaf]

I don't know. Most KZbin bikers seem to have supportive fans :)

[@lucacaleffi9396]

It's easy to understand how fast you usually are only when you reach the three bikes and the video slow down immediatly.

[@Schaaf]

yep, good to notice in this case!!

[@Chrischristopherson1313]

did you say - when you see quicker biker in your mirrors???? is it actually even possible....

[@Schaaf]

Chris some say...

[@keshderytsuchti5137]

Chris thats sarcasm, isnt IT???

[@Chris-yy7qc]

Obviously, he rocks

[@RN-lo6xc]

The overtake was the best part of the vid tbh - taking those few corners at that speed and lean was impressive

[@Schaaf]

Thanks

[@LifeOn2WheelsVlog]

Der deutsche Max Wrist :D

[@Schaaf]

bis 150 km/h halt

[@RogerGJager]

Your riding skills are on high level. I am scared just watching your videos (positive meaning).....! I watch your front brake use in corners.....trail braking ! Keep up the good work mate! Cheers

[@Schaaf]

thanks but my wild days like this video are over :)

[@the_derpler]

Your riding has gotten a lot more mature over the years. I love the videos, so grateful to get to hear all these wonderful bikes.

[@Schaaf]

thanks for noticing

[@DevrimSirmen]

100% with you about the blockers. Great riding again.

[@Schaaf]

thanks man

[@entropiccaos7911]

11:51 Testosterone's level is skyrocketing!!

[@Schaaf]

yes indeed

[@UnknownProdrive]

Again Schaaf shows you don't need the latest supersports to have alot of fun. Just some common sense the right road and weather. It's refreshing to see a machine being ridden towards it's max capabilities rather than a guy on a super sports/naked using a third of its performance. Okay you got impatient and once passed those guys continued for a short while at a fair old speed. But I wouldn't lose much sleep Schaaf, the danger levels were not crazy high. You all got home unharmed. As regards why didnt they back off and let you pass? They probably felt they were riding at a good pace and if you wanted to pass you would of. Remember although it's polite to let you by, they don't have to. At the end of the day if there's a slow rider in front just pass, but if you can't check yourself for the reasons why not rather than them. Cheers

[@Schaaf]

thanks a lot!! Indeed!

[@ugolofanolo8398]

Thumbs up and respect from an Italian who hates Sunday bikers too.

[@Schaaf]

mille grazie :)

[@Slaty]

ich kann dich da in der Situation total nachvollziehen. Ich persönlich mag es auch überhaupt nicht wenn mir jemand im Nacken hängt und schon alleine deshalb würde ich ihn vorbei winken. Hammer gefahren und solange nix passiert und man draus lernt ists ja top :)

[@Schaaf]

danke dir, Sluty!! :)

[@Salt_stain]

good riding, and we all get it. at the track we call it "the red mist". when that ego gets the better of you making you do things you typically dont in order to get around someone. its a hard thing to tame but it seems like you already have an understanding of it. keep up the awesome videos. always enjoy watching

[@worldsnomad]

man you pissed me off now .. how dare you overtaking bigger bikes than yours, rules are clear : if you riding 500 and someone else 750 you should be 250 metres behind etc..... 😉 brilliant driving by the way but as you pointed it always wise to play it safe 👍👌👌

[@daniusrides9889]

worldsnomad LMAO

[@Schaaf]

;) ;) Thank you!

[@Ricksdetrix]

Shaaf I wouldn't worry about leaving your mistakes in, its definitely a good thing! I might not have even realized that i'm blocking a biker, although I'm usually pretty polite and let faster vehicles pass me, but I know this video will come to mind when I'm in a situation like that. I've actually been in a weird position where I was riding home with a friend on the back and two bikers stopped next to me at the lights and said hello, I waved them past when the light was green knowing the road ahead is super fun and I've got a passenger, one went ahead but the other didn't overtake. I took it as them egging me on a little, which I definitely took to and had a fun little chase. However the road is not the kindest one and we ended up coming off the road ( luckily I realized and just took us onto the grass instead of a tree and we didn't come off) but I think it just proves that when your on the road you don't always make the best decisions, but I certainly learned from that experience and I think sharing things like that will help others stay safe too.

[@Schaaf]

thanks for sharing the story!!!

[@kangacrew540]

This is gold.i am always amused by pride and behaviour as the result. It was a moment of f..kin glory and its the best thing I've watched in ages. There's nothing mature about riding to way you guys ride and that's why I love it. Bless u

[@Schaaf]

thanks man

[@Nexus-6]

Wow, once again, what a road, and what a ride, simply sublime. Someone should show the Honda engineers some of Schaaf's videos. Their jaws would drop when they see what Schaaf wrings out of their little CB500. If I could eventually ride half as well you, Schaaf, I would be happy. Thanks for letting us come along for the ride, once again. : )

[@Schaaf]

thanks again

[@sninads]

Man, that moment when you overtook all 4. I love it. And I agree to the fact which even I observe, it is always good to let a faster one arriving go ahead. And I can imagine that frustration of someone in the front not going fast or not letting us pass. At some point they must see our treatment ;) . Hail the CB500.

[@Schaaf]

tehehe thanks a lot! :D

[@Audacitycs1]

This is the first time I thought not to look at how you ride but to watch the scenery behind. Man Austria IS BEAUTIFUL!!

[@Schaaf]

unfortunately we're in Italy :D :D

[@Audacitycs1]

Schaaf you're one lucky guy who gets to explore these beautiful places man. I wish I was there to ride with you. Could've learned so much from you.

[@dannegoesblonds]

man i just get a big smile when i watch your vids!:D hope i pass the motorbike test next week so i can ride and explore for my own.

[@Schaaf]

good luck mate!!

[@mikegabbos6807]

As we say in Italian, "sei un manico", we are all human, it is common for everyone to feel frustrated by another biker but you do not have to prove anything to anyone but above all to yourself! I appreciate your loyalty. I always follow, enjoy the rides

[@Schaaf]

thanks Mike!!!

[@RidinDutch37]

Rick and Morty reference in the thumbnail and the room reference with Marc, and that sequence of riding behind him, awsum additions on top of the usual Schaaf production values. I'm guessing those dudes didn't move over because of dick compensation reasons and I feel for your cornerblockedness at those points but FUCK, that sequence when you finally passed them might have been irrisponsible but it looked amazing; it would be my screensaver if I had one

[@daanschelen]

RidinDutch Jij ook hier?

[@RidinDutch37]

You don't simply miss a Schaaf video

[@Schaaf]

RidinDutch thanks for noticing 😊

[@GameForger]

At 11:07 I perfectly understand you. I was with my z750 from 2004 and in front of me I had a Harley style BMW 1000cc, I don't remember what it was.

[@Schaaf]

:)

[@DougZ73]

Another great video. Your riding is great and I can't believe how you wring the neck of the CB500. I'm going to subscribe. As far as the passing, few get the feeling.....true riders will. It is that feeling of pushing your limits, pushing the edge. One can't really feel alive, without dancing on the limits of death. I have been there....used to be there all the time. Then I had kids and had to slow down. But that feeling.....it is better than anything else sometimes. Ride on, ride safe.

[@Schaaf]

I lost two organs which made me lose this ability myself ;) Ride safe mate!

[@stuartho]

Awesome riding only nearly matched by the awesome scenery! Thanks for posting and being genuinely yourself.

[@Schaaf]

thanks Stuart!!

[@matzelange2712]

Mit Abstand mein lieblings Video auf deinem Kanal.

[@Schaaf]

Gute Wahl :)

[@Matthiaslipknot]

I used to live in the south of France, near the Alps, where it was huge amounts of fun to ride. Lots of delicious mountain roads. Now I live near Paris where it is flat as hell and always rains. I dream of going on such roads again. Thankfully I can sort of live that though yours vids. Love these roads you are riding. Soon I'll be back there

[@Schaaf]

thanks for the nice comment!

[@Hellishrider]

Awesome man.. great corners and fantastic road. This weekend I did Malojapass in Switzerland on my way to Lake Como, really short but with a lot of U turns... amazing!! \m/ Ride in peace

[@Schaaf]

awesome indeed!!! Thanks mate!

[@emanueleartusi5572]

Thank you @Schaaf, i love your "wild mode"😅 I too go "happy" on the road, but the thing that gave me goosebumps was the scratches on the ground ... 😲😨

[@ngauruhoe]

With regard to them 'cornerblocking' I could see and understand your frustration. I've been riding about 11 months myself and when I first started, I was slow and not confident. If anyone came up behind me, I'll pull over and let them pass, as I didn't want the pressure of having them behind me and affecting my cornering lines...

[@Schaaf]

that's how it's supposed to be!! Thanks!

[@tsa567]

Yeah I agree with you on the corner blockers, I think some of it is down to ego and some to simply not realising the fact that if you have arrived behind them and you weren't there when they set off... you are riding faster than they are! It happens here in the UK all the time, people on brand new litre bikes don't like letting a 17 year old 600 through!

[@Schaaf]

thanks for sharing your view, Tom!!

[@rmabgoi]

Nice touch on 12:39mn... water on tarmac. But you still riding as if your bike is a 2 stroke...those downshift gears. But... i can see you are in a great pleasure man... Thanks for the videos. Ride safe mate. Cheers from Portugal.

[@Schaaf]

I don't agree, I simply ride the bike where it has the most power and torque available. Which of course means a lot of fast shifting with an engine like that

[@sench3911]

Yeah I did not understand the behavior of the three either. I'd do as you said, I move to the side if there is a faster rider than me :) Anyways, great vid Schaaf!

[@sench3911]

oder kurz LEIWAND :D

[@Schaaf]

ehehehe hast du das von den 1000PS Kollegen gelernt? :D :D Danke dir!!!

[@sench3911]

Schaaf yes vom Meister Zonko

[@Schaaf]

ausgezeichnet! Sehr gut, setzen!

[@jjrider6758]

I'm a recent subscriber and have just spotted this one - You were really pinning it my friend, I'm pretty sure I heard the CB500 begging for mercy at one point ! - I don't have the talent to ride like you Schaaf but I also get frustrated because I don't like having anything in front of me, just an open road.. Trouble is, here in the UK the traffic is so thick that if I want to achieve this I have to set off at 'stupid o'clock' in the morning !..

[@Schaaf]

;)

[@EmanueleDiSaverio]

"Please don't study my line, first time" ...proceeds in blasting every single corner like I would ride the last corner of my life.

[@WozzasSportsCruiserRides]

The rider at the rear was blocking you. Groups everywhere like that whether there right or wrong. It wasn't long before you decided to administer justice on these slower, road blocking, big bike riders. It makes for good footage even if they were Sunday riders. The least they could have done is go faster and block you.

[@Schaaf]

Wozza's Sports Cruiser Rides :D thanks Wozza

[@VADroidTS555]

imo this is your best video! thoroughly enjoyed!

[@Schaaf]

thanks man!

[@jimchris2272]

Good videos ! I like the way you write down what its in your head while you're riding, it could be a advice for those who rides too ...

[@Schaaf]

thanks!

[@urbanwikstrom9246]

Passo del Brocon! Never heard of it. It`s now on my wish list. Thanks Schaaf!

[@Schaaf]

thanks for the comment!

[@johnmccord1752]

Love your vids, just shows what a blast you can have on a smaller bike if you have the skill.(I wish I had.) Some noses must have been put out of joint when you binned those other guys, they where not exactly helping. Always remember, as Mr Honda once said, "to finish first, first you must finish" , so keep riding inside your limits, which I must say are quite phenomenal. Go fast but stay safe my friend.

[@Schaaf]

thanks John. But fortunately my limits nowadays are set much lower ;)

[@bo0mb0i]

I loled at the Airplane "Fasten your seat belt" bell sound. Way to go schaaf!

[@Schaaf]

thanks mate!

[@spokeanddagger]

Fuck man. The riding at 12:00 - 12:35 onwards shit me up. Glad you saw your mistake and that you're still safe. Highest respect for you, Schaaf.

[@mikkei3532]

Not so quite risky man . Cheers

[@Schaaf]

thanks man

[@sbabbaro1977]

Respect! You teach that sometimes don't need a powerful bike to go faster than other. Great ride really! Which bike is yours?

[@Schaaf]

1994 CB500

[@jpsv9531]

Awesome scratching. Blimey I need an mountain bunkhouse with a KTM990SM in it and a helicopter for popping over at weekends! You really are selling the Dolomites Schaaf. Haven't been in the mountains for a few years and really getting withdrawl symptoms!

[@Schaaf]

should you ever invest in that mountain bunkhouse: leave a spare bed for me please :D Thanks mate!

[@jpsv9531]

Ha ha... it just got bigger! Room for two bikes!! When I was in the Alpes-Maritimes in 1989 they were flogging old barns in the hills for a couple of Francs. Feel stupid I didn't buy one then. Darn!!

[@TheVuk1976]

First of all nice riding and it takes some balls - to admit a mistake for riding on the limit. Nice description and i totally agree with you. If someone is faster or even not and he is behind I try to let him overtake me. But the remark from Matzen Toni is also true. They wanted to show that they rule their home road. Happend a couple of time to me in Austria when some guys see my slovenian number plate. Of course they don't know that i ride these roads now for more than 10 years very often and I know them really good.

[@Schaaf]

thanks, Vuk! I think your theory is right!

[@peternieder8117]

That's great! Incredible video! I would like to congratulate you!

[@Schaaf]

Thanks Péter

[@redactedrider7606]

My god that road looks amazing! We have nothing like that here in Houston. The closest "Twisty" road is about an hour away from where i'm at, and is only like 2 miles long and about 15 turns lol Nothing but straight lines here, which can be fun with my zx10r and some friends, but nowhere near as fun as a good twisty road. Amazing riding, love the videos

[@Schaaf]

thank you man!

[@karlohartleb2776]

Haha ...schön brav den Blinker gesetzt ;-) Großartige Viertelstunde! Danke Herr Schaaf.

[@Schaaf]

Danke, Herr Karlo!!

[@Tadamagicsky]

amazing riding . i have sold my cb500 year ago but that's great machine :) always so nice watching your riding on the bikes :)

[@Schaaf]

thanks Konrad!

[@gogsalba4573]

Have added this wee gem of a road ( and a few others from your Raw Italia collection) to my 2018 Swiss,Italiano,Slovenian/Austrian tour.....hope you're back fighting fit by then. I will watch out for you in my mirrors & move aside as is customary....... Someone on here mentioned using the horn more..... I've got an air horn, frightens the shit out of me when i press it ( usually by mistake).... came in handy last year in Slovakia... even the cagers were blocking :-)...

[@Schaaf]

in Italy it definitely is a good idea to use the horn. In Austria it's usually considered rather rude hence why I'm not used to using it

[@krayzieegg7294]

You are right. You were acting a fool on this video. You are also right that slower riders should give way to faster riders. I always tell myself if i experienced those kind of riders that there is always a tomorrow. No need for risks

[@Schaaf]

Yup

[@leebaguley8793]

Fantastic handling of the bike,great watch

[@Schaaf]

thanks Lee!

[@tomaszsiuda4617]

Wish I was this smooth. Sweet riding man, a joy to watch.

[@Schaaf]

thanks

[@TheBender4]

you are right... They see you but don t let you overtake... in the corner u are faster! Great as always! Im italian

[@Schaaf]

Grazie Alfredo!

[@bloodyhell451]

Well - I bet that last bit put the fear of god into them ;-) Ride safe bro.

[@Schaaf]

I can imagine they're still talking about "that crazy Austrian dude on the vintage bike" :D

[@jezzamarkham5285]

Good video with nice road and cool riding.. Well done for not cutting that scene. If the guy in front new you were there then he should have made way for you as most bikers i know would. Just because he had more power for the straights doesn't matter, he should have made way. I like your honesty. As Always Ride And Speed Safe.

[@Schaaf]

thank you Jezza mate!!

[@2008gerryman]

Man hat gemerkt das du richtig sauer warst😅 Aber mir geht's auch oft so und ich verstehe dich da voll und ganz. Kein Mensch ist perfekt aber du und ich sind verbesserungsfähig was die Geduld angeht😂

[@Schaaf]

ja, sieht man wirklich gut. Vor allem auch später, da gibts einen Moment, wo ich nach hinten schaue. Da waren sie nicht mehr zu sehen. Und sofort beruhigt sich mein Fahrstil wieder so, wie es sein soll. Danke, Gerrit!!

[@2008gerryman]

Der Frust war schon groß denke ich, du bist auch etwas schneller als normal Blind reingefahren, was du sonst nicht so machst. Eigentlich darf man sich da nicht so reinsteigern, dass macht sonst die Laune und den Spaß kaputt am fahren. Aber es ist halt echt schwer sich zu beherrschen. Bist eben auch nur ein Mensch, schätze deine Ehrlichkeit, dass du es wenigstens zugibst.

[@ETM2024]

You were right to pass them. The guy at the rear was especially ignorant, constantly swinging way over to his left when it was unnecessary. I always move out of the way when someone quicker approaches me and wave them on, even if I'm in the middle of my "quick" ride on a nice road. The only thing I find more frustrating in that type of situation is when I give way to the other biker and they don't pass me.

[@Schaaf]

yea, understandable! Thanks!

[@jesussofi]

Wonderful motorbike, pilot and place

[@Schaaf]

thanks

[@AndyManCam]

Hats off to you chap. I would have been frustrated too! Of course I probably wouldn't be quite as quick as you in the first place! I blame big bones. But solid for leaving the bit's you'Re not proud of in there. I'm trying to do the same and present an honest account of this thing we do! In my opinion, I didn't see the rear guy turn his head once. I think he was mostly unaware, or simply ignoring you. If I'd had you behind me like that, my spidey senses would have been going CRAZY! ALWAYS let the faster guys in front. When they're out ahead, they can hurt themselves, but not you! Let everybody have his own ride I say!

[@Schaaf]

the rear guy noticed me pretty early, he was definitely "ignoring" me ;) Wise words!

[@cruxer666]

The beast has been unleashed :D great riding. The end was scary, but nobody's perfect...

[@Schaaf]

thanks!!

[@Jajeweet]

8:46 lol I know exactly how that front wheel hop feels. First time it happend it scared the shit out of me.

[@Schaaf]

it felt awesome to me ahahaha :D

[@xt4tic]

I know that feel, and yeah, it sucks. Next time, as you can do it to overpass, use the horn and maybe they will get more attention and not cockblock. Great vid and amazing views, as always :)

[@Schaaf]

yes I was thinking about using the horn but that would've felt too annoying or too daring to me, especially since they were locals. Thanks!!

[@kkjensen2385]

Ein absoluter Adrenalinkick! Ich fahre da nicht so ganz dieses Tempo :-), bin aber auch heftigst genervt, wenn man in Kurven von Geradeausgasaufreißern gebremst wird. Ich bin auf der Suche nach Pässen in den Dolomiten/Trentino, die nicht alle Touristen fahren, wo aber die Straße auch nicht nur 1m breit ist. Den Brocon nehme ich auf jeden Fall mit. Hättest Du vielleicht noch andere ähnlich gute Empfehlungen?

[@Schaaf]

Zieh dir meine RAWtalia Serie rein, da sind einige gute Pass-Tipps :)

[@SadistischerBrokkoli]

Ich versteh dich da total. Ich bin selber net der schnellste Fahrer auf der Straße und geb acht, dass alle ihr Kurvenadrenalin bekommen. (auch wenn es mit 1300cc manchmal schwer fällt auf der geraden langsam zu machen 😉)

[@Schaaf]

verständlich :)

[@PremierNZ-qb5zd]

Only just found your videos great fun to watch. Two questions, can’t see the speed you’re doing on my phone but it looks and sounds pretty quick, how fast were you actually going? Also I take it the scratching sound I can hear, is that your footpegs scraping? Anyway enjoy your videos.

[@Schaaf]

yes, pegs. No, not that fast. That's just an old 500

[@asturiancetorix2552]

Just watching an R1250RS onboard, I ended up here. Great driving skills, sir, that old bike works amazing… Well, as always it´s not the arrow, it´s the indian LOL I ride on a touring pace, sometimes… sport-touring?. I always take low risks while riding my bike.

[@Schaaf]

cool

[@davidpunosevac8371]

I am admiring you. Your driving skills are awesome! Just keep it up! :D

[@Schaaf]

thanks David!

[@Scaborn]

schön gefahren, aber was ich nicht verstehe, ist genau das gleiche wie du beschrieben hast: Warum blockiert man jemanden, der doch offensichtlich schneller unterwegs ist als man selbst? Permanent auf der linken Seite fahren um den anderen nicht vorbei zu lassen ist doch mal echtes Arschloch-Verhalten. Klingt zwar gemein, aber hier ist es definitiv angebracht, ich würde mich auch aufregen wenn man mir das Fahren verwähren wurde, was ich anstrebe.

[@Schaaf]

ich versteh es ebenso wenig. Ich würde mich, wie du sagst, richtig mies fühlen, wenn ich jemanden blockiere...

[@bensensen]

haha. musste lachen, als du die blocker angesprochen hast. finde mich da total wieder, es pisst einen an und man neigt zu unüberlegten Aktionen. trotzdem: sahniges video, dachte erst, kacke alter 15 Minuten und auf einmal wars vorbei :-D ... bin im sommer auch mein erstes mal in italien (dolomiten) mit dem mopped unterwegs. deine videos geben doch einen äußerst erfreulichen Ausblick dahin! Like!

[@Schaaf]

du wirst garantiert viel Spaß haben!! Guter Plan!! Danke dir!!

[@zoomjoo]

as to your comment on 11:10 they are riding with track mentality, ie, whatever is behind you doesn't matter-- your responsibility to pass them if you can. At least, that's how I interpret it. Maybe it's their ego too, but if they try to accommodate someone behind them, maybe they will get distracted from what's in front.

[@Schaaf]

I'm always 100% focused on what's in front of me when I ride spirited. But still I would immediately spot someone approaching from behind in my mirrors in the corner of my eyes :)

[@zoomjoo]

I agree.. especially since the pressure of someone close to you can cause you to ride beyond your limit. sick riding as always, schaaf!

[@moritzuh1505]

starkes video!! wieviele km hast du jetzt eigentlich auf der cb gefahren???

[@Schaaf]

ca. 55K - danke!

[@depechemoto]

Fantastic riding as usual brother. I like your vids for the riding but honestly I come back for the character and humanity. You allowed to be human. You're also allowed to pass those guys like they passed the slower 'touring' riders the same way. Yeah you dove a lil deep in a few corners while behind the other dude lol but hey.. all's well that ends well, especially on two wheels! Awesome road btw omgggggggg

[@Schaaf]

thanks a lot mate. Thanks for this understanding comment!

[@CubanRider]

Great riding as usual. What software are you using for motion tracking and blurring plates?

[@Schaaf]

thanks man! Description!

[@Vexoro]

Schön gefahren! Überholen wenns geht, falls nicht wie du sagtest halt schnell ne kurze Pause machen. Ich gönn mir die 2 Minuten und hab dafür eine entspanntere Fahrt, ohne mich über Blockierer/Schleicher aufregen zu müssen. Und auch ohne ein waghalsiges Manöver zu riskieren :^)

[@Schaaf]

ja, ist definitiv die beste Methode!!

[@jeanpaolopacana]

Hey Schaaf! It's ok, I know how it feels. I also give way to other riders if I can sense that their pace is faster than mine and it's kinda sad for other riders to not give way for you/me, like I only ride once a week (to be free from stress and to enjoy riding).

[@Schaaf]

thanks Jean!!

Diese wunderbare Rick und morty Anspielung im thumbnail

[@Schaaf]

:D :D

[@IBaDaZzI]

+Schaaf I LIKE WHAT YOU GOOOOOT!

[@MetalStratocaster]

@Schaaf I have a question. Have you noticed any difference since you're riding on your little Honda with windshield on? Some people claim that it pretty much raises the comfort, how about you? I wonder to buy it. As always, amazing riding tho, greetings from Poland! :)

[@Schaaf]

Tomasz please read the description my Polish friend :)

[@MetalStratocaster]

thank you! :)

[@costyncoco3020]

I like you man.. I really really like you and the little honda!! 🏍️

[@Schaaf]

thanks dude

[@monomakes]

Just as a point of interest, do you give other riders a foot salute as you pass them? It's less common than the head on throttle hand salute, but is really useful at your 'spirited' pace.

[@Schaaf]

I sometimes do it, yes

[@loysgullion3015]

I would feel the same-ride safe!

[@ddaino86]

Respect for you Schaaf and for little devil Honda!!! Good job friend!! ;-)

[@Schaaf]

Grazie Davide!!!

[@nathandavies2677]

Would be awesome to see you bomb it down the roads on any HD Sportster out of interest

[@nathandavies2677]

...and any 250cc smoker if you can get your mits on one, seem like a completely different animal to what you have been riding, you mite enjoy it more, never know.

[@Schaaf]

so far I haven't been on any Harley out there :/

[@nathandavies2677]

Noway, maybe Afew more months till its summer and they will all escape out of their garages lol p.s. great videos, XSR and GSX-750 are my fav!

[@parkwayrider5200]

[@Schaaf]

thanks!

[@airgunnyhighway]

Hi Shaaf, I was at Passo Broncon 3 days ago. Beautiful road and landscape. Are you touring Italy several days? Saturday I will visit Terento. Ride safe :-)

[@Schaaf]

thank you!! I was there for just two days of touring in September of 2016! I stayed in Bolzano city!

[@catcaturday2384]

Some people are weird, or deaf. You took a huge risk whilist acting idiotic but im not judging you for that cause im sure i would have done the same thinghad i been in your place. Great content once again, when ur coming back to italy? A free beer is waiting for you!

[@Schaaf]

thanks mate!! Free beeeeeer!!! :OOOOO Unfortunately I don't know yet. But I'll try my best to return in late summer if possible.

[@GO2RUPTOR]

I love your vids. I think I'm gonna take the filter for GoPro With superview it will be so nice

[@Schaaf]

yes it will be!

[@stephenspiteri_zunkus]

The minute you passed those blokes you scared the shit out of me man!

[@Schaaf]

sorry

[@Ayzill]

Wow, that was some aggressive riding after you passed those riders! But, I TOTALLY understand! It is not smart, it is not right, but i definitely know that feel (from driving a car). I respect that you shear this "mistake" with us, it happens to the best of us, but this way we can actually learn from it. That little Honda CB500 of yours still impress me a lot! Will it ever break down? :D How many kilometers have you ridden on it?

[@Schaaf]

thanks a lot for the understanding! The CB has around 85K on the clock, I'm responsible for ~55K of those

[@dsptcanal9736]

Riding just perfect… congrats on the machine, it´s such a beast #CB500

[@Schaaf]

thanks man!

[@larsfreiburg4394]

Hallo schaaf wie immer ein tolles Video! Was denkst du über die ktm rc390 oder die Kawasaki zxr400 ? kannst du diese Vllt. Mal fahren ? Ich finde es sehr schade dass es so wenige a2 taugliche supersportler gibt . Gibt es sonst noch sehr sportlich zu bewegende a2 Bikes ? LG Lars Ride Safe !!!

[@Schaaf]

keine Ahung, ich hab' keinen Überblick über A2 taugliche Bikes! Die RC390 würde ich sehr gerne mal probieren, es ist aber enrom schwer, an Test-KTMs zu für mich brauchbaren Konditionen zu kommen :/

[@larsfreiburg4394]

achso ok schade trotzdem vielen vielen dank für deine antwort :D ride safe !

[@rakhazidane4022]

Hey, sorry to ask very suddenly, but what's the handlebars on the CB500?? Reminded me of those bars from supermotos and dirt bikes.

[@Schaaf]

85cm Renthal

[@eliseugodoy6997]

Bom dia Estou em SÃO PAULO como faço para comprar um bolha igual a essa pra colocar navl minha 500 ?
