RAWtalia 19: HONDA CB500 FULL THROTTLE (grand finale)

[@Schaaf]

Aaalright friends! This is it! The grand RAWtalia finale! Lean back and enjoy! And make sure to stick to the very end if you want to take part in the discussion! Speed safe!

[@aygun_ak]

Schaaf legend driving 👍👏

[@Schaaf]

thanks

[@REDLINERUNNER]

Schaaf This is AMAZING... Only one tip... White line is slippery... My friend crashed the moment his rear tyre touched white line in the middle... Barely survived...

[@REDLINERUNNER]

Schaaf And at the end I can tell you if you wanna enjoy corners come to my part of Croatia where I enjoy even on 50cc... Check out my area on my channel.. If you like it please share and subscribe... Maybe we even meet next summer..

[@hvemc2]

Very nice! If you happen to be in that area again: there is a road at the other side of the valley, the SP71: it has the same starting- and endpoint and is every bit as twisty and fun as the one you rode. Took me by surprise, as I just wanted to reach Passo Rolle and I didn't expect anything - but put a big smile on my face when riding it.

[@TheLazareitor]

No problem if there is no more raw, i think all of us prefer you living and being like you are... :D i understand it. Ride safe my friend!

[@Schaaf]

thanks for the understanding :)

[@danielzarcos2519]

I’ve subbed your channel very recently. One of the best I’ve seen so far, here at youtube! You do have a lot of videos, so it’s going to take a while to watch them all. I hope you do get better and more confident, despite your injuries. About a year ago I’ve also had an accident while on my motorcyle (KTM Adventure 1050). Had 2 cirurgies done to my left leg in under 3 months. Got back to my bike 4 months later and the confidence was not there anymore. I’m ok now (mobility wise) but the mind plays tricks on me while on the road, sometimes, I’m a bit more confident now. But mine was not the same as your injury which caused loss of organs. Man, I hope you get to enjoy riding again, even with some degree of limitation. Your riding is very spirited, I love it, and when I’m on my couch I like to come to your channel and check some more of your clips. It helps that your camera is chin mounted on your helmet. It is kinda like training my eyes to get more confidence in reading corners! Big hug from Portugal! Stay safe and may your miles be blessed! Happy New Year!

[@Schaaf]

thanks for the comment! Have a great new year!!

[@simongroheim8730]

Danke für die ganzen Videos und die Mühe die du in diese gesteckt hast! Jedes Video von dir war ein absolutes Highlight und ich hoffe es geht in Zukunft, auch ohne rastenschleifen weiter! (Wie du es im Video beschrieben hast) Ich wünsche dir für deine Zukunft alles Gute, vor allem Gesundheitlich und Beruflich!

[@Schaaf]

Hoffe ich auch! Danke, Simon!

[@Hezzup]

A true Schaaf masterpiece! I loved the RAW series, but I equally appreciate you doing the hard work and research to find these amazing places to ride. Not to mention sharing the maps! I personally would be very much entertained by you taking us along in slower pace, demonstrating beautiful roads, more editing wizardry and excellent musical picks as seen in the past. Thank you for the best moto content on youtube so far and I'll stick around to see what's next!

[@Schaaf]

thanks a lot for the kind words!

[@alexgontijo]

Get well soon my friend. We'll miss your RAW videos!

[@Schaaf]

thanks man

[@MrKiddoMoto]

That was an epic ride! 🤩 The road is perfect: it's curvy but not too much, so that you can keep a good pace and enjoy the fast curves. On some mountain roads, I think there are sometimes too many curves for spirited riding. I always feel awkward to think that. It reminds me the movie Amadeus, when the Emperor said to Mozart "There are too many notes", not being able to appreciate the masterpiece he had just listened... 🤔

[@Schaaf]

excellent comparison!! Although personally I never came across a road which felt too twisty for the Little Honda. But with bikes less agile I'd definitely considered some passes I've been on as "too tight" in order to be able to fall into the zone! Merci Kiddo!

[@DaveMurphyEngineer]

If you never make another RAW video again it will be a huge shame, but you’ve got a massive collection of amazing memories all here forever on KZbin to be proud of and which other people can enjoy too. Hopefully your accident isn’t the end of your riding. As for this video - amazing! What a great road and you can really tell you were in the zone along it. Great work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Schaaf]

thanks Dave!!

[@motor8055]

Grandios! Die ganze Serie ist wirklich super geworden und das ist ein klasse Finale. Respekt dafür, dass du trotz des Unfalls es nicht dran gibst. Bleib stark und komm wieder auf die Beine!

[@Schaaf]

danke, Felix!

[@KevinNL212]

On one hand I'm happy you uploaded again, but on the other hand I'm sad that winter is coming :(

[@Schaaf]

me too :(

[@snorlaxsnorlaximus3118]

this one was truly worth being the final episode

[@Schaaf]

thanks!

[@BladeRicsi]

I'm gona miss this RAW Italia video series

[@Schaaf]

me too :(

[@gogsalba4573]

Last year I was on this stretch of road 2 up on my Triumph when I was being pestered to slow down... had a mini meltdown with pillion girlfriend... about 5 mins outside Cavalese - police road block.... I thanked her later.... next summer I am dropping her off at hotel - then gonna ride it solo.. 🤪... it’s a great section.. thanks for the memories & showing how it should be ridden..👍👍

[@Schaaf]

hmmm I think I'd gladly accept a girlfriend as good reason to slow down too ;) Thanks mate

[@iRidez650]

Thanks for the rides! I always enjoyed the rides on the cb500 the best because they show everyone that you don’t have to have a panigale or a superduke to enjoy ripping some great roads!

[@Schaaf]

true! Thanks man

[@teako9515]

Just continue man, Even with a "normal" pace, you can show us very good scenery.(ies?) with nice editing, it will be entertaining. Like some of the videos from "motogeo". Anyway good luck dood

[@Schaaf]

yea MotoGeo is very inspiring when it comes to travel videos! Thanks dude

[@oktemee]

Thank you for the great work and spirited riding. Looking forward to new videos. I watch your videos and bookmark it on the map so that i could go in the future.

[@Schaaf]

you definitely should check out that one. One of the nicest roads I've ever been on!

[@oktemee]

Well next year then. Thankmyou so much. ..

[@02bigkev]

Its been great Schaaf, I love watching the RAW vids. I think its to hard to pick a single video that is my favourite as Ive enjoyed them all. Take care. RSM8

[@Schaaf]

thanks Kev!

[@mrvwbug4423]

Wow that has to be the best collection of fast sweepers I've ever seen.

[@Schaaf]

indeed!!!

[@Hillclimbfan1990]

I'd personally still watch RAW videos at a low pace as long as you enjoy making them. I love the alpine scenery and have always watched your videos for the scenery and the enjoyment you got from driving. If you don't enjoy making videos at a slower driving pace then you shouldn't, since the video would portrait that, but if you have fun driving at a slower pace and make videos I'll be here watching them ;)

[@Schaaf]

2018 will tell! Thanks man

[@jezzamarkham5285]

Wow!!! What a road and what a ride. You really did save the best RAWtalia till last (or Italy did). For me "RAWtalia" ended at 12:05 not 9:16, i never skip. My favourite two? I'll have to think on that one. Over my life iv'e had many fantastic rides but i don't think any of them came near to this (since my spine problems i now know one never will). I want to say something good about post accident riding to try and cheer you up but i know it would be foolish and unkind. I wish you the very best for your future work and play outlook. I like your outlook on life and your sense of humour so as long as you have a channel i will be a subscriber. Good luck and take care my friend.

[@Schaaf]

thanks a lot dear Jezza! I'll definitely find a way to keep on creating!

[@st-rufus]

Great vid, great ride. Even if you ll ride calmer in the future i am sure that your vids will be as great as this one. You are right, there are so many Roadster.

[@Schaaf]

thanks man

[@neonsnail675]

One hell of a ride!! Thanks for sharing your courage with the world! It's hard to get in the zone like that. Either way, I love the scenery you've shot and your edits are great so keep creating my friend!!

[@Schaaf]

thanks man. I'll definitely keep on creating, I just need to find new ways other than these quick RAW videos

[@el4an]

Great riding. You've definitely improved a lot since i started watching you about 2 yrs ago.

[@Schaaf]

yea I can see that myself too, thanks man

[@AustrianCowboy]

als erstes möchte ich mal eines sagen: deine RAWtalia videos motivieren immer wieder sehr um selbst die Welt mit dem Bike zu erkunden! Echt lässige Videos! Zu deinem Unfall und wie es weitergehen soll kann ich dir nur sagen: Mich hats dieses Jahr auf meiner CB auch am Ochsattel gschmissen aber bei weitem nicht so schlimm wie dich! Aber hat genügt um mir klar zu machen, das weniger extremes fahren auf längere zeit viel vorteilhafter ist (wegen überleben und so warats gwesn) bin mir sicher dast trotzdem an haufen geiles Zeug in Zukunft am bike zambringst, für deine Videos, auch ohne extremste Schräglagen! alles gute!

[@Schaaf]

gut, ich musste nicht erst auf die Pappn fliegn, um zu realisieren, dass ich sehr viel riskiere. Aber für mich hat Motorradfahren halt nie was anderes als maximale Schräglagen bedeutet. Mal schauen, ob mir das ohne dann auch noch viel Spaß machen wird. Kann da eig. nur in die Reise-Richtung gehen

[@disekjoumoer]

Fantastic ride, Schööfl!!! Your videos will always be some of the nicest watching on youtube. If Honda was still making the CB500, you would have boosted sales a lot. And you also showed, time and time again that it is the rider and not the bike that makes the ride great. I hope your new perspective on life gets better and better, man. Keep on trucking (on a bike)!

[@Schaaf]

thanks for the wishes and the comment!!

[@kipbloor2486]

Was talking yesterday to a bloke with your attitude to rideing. Compound fracture to femur, L3,4,5 compresed and T5. Ruptured disks to go with it. Spinal process has a few breaks too. He will spend the rest of his life in pain, never make a full recovery. Exactly where you are headed. Overconfident and days are numbered. Death is no real consequence but decades with disabilities and pain is another thing.

[@Schaaf]

I learned my lesson the hard way already but thanks for your concern

[@lw8249]

Fast corners and a very good driver that can keep a good and cheerful step. Awesome video.

[@Schaaf]

thank you!!

[@jezzamarkham5285]

Wow!! I really needed a lift at the moment and you riding the little Honda to the max definitely helped. Thank you 😊

[@blipco5]

I like all the Raw videos so I won't choose. We all know that once riding is in your blood it does not leave. So rule of thumb....Two kidneys, ride fast. One kidney, ride slow. Trade the fast with adventure.

[@Schaaf]

good rule ;)

[@itchyscratchy8216]

So dude hope you doing well and waiting for some epic vids in the new year. Guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr und Munter bleiben!!

[@Schaaf]

thanks man! Guten Rutsch auch dir!

[@davexs]

Thanks man enjoyed your twists and turns....Couldn't pic a favourite they all have there moments, whether it scenery or riding....Take care

[@Schaaf]

thanks Dave

[@usernameEvanT]

awesome riding dude! you are very good! if you stop riding we will miss you that's for sure! take care!!! greetings from greece!

[@Schaaf]

thanks and best wishes from Austria to Greece!

[@neilwiddison6529]

Enjoyed your video mate . Hope you enjoy what ever you do and long live the cb 500 cheers Neil uk

[@Schaaf]

thanks Neil

[@sindrealme2921]

Thanks a lot, it was a pleasure to watch! As for what episode(s) i prefer i would have to watch them again to give a fair judgement. I’ll get back to you on that. Again, Thanks for sharing, good night.

[@Schaaf]

thanks for commenting and the support!!

[@germanplayer7329]

Immer wieder geil deine Videos anzuschauen! :) (keep up the good content)

[@Schaaf]

danke!

[@Ibanezgames]

RAW is a must. Idk how some people enjoy this kind of videos with music and no engine sound. Blah!

[@Schaaf]

me neither

[@johnkareas4777]

Verrückter Motofahrer!!RESPEKT man!

[@Schaaf]

danke!

[@filipprucnal]

I flinched every time I heard your footrests scratching the road :D. I don't think I'll ever have the balls to lean this much

[@Schaaf]

just a matter of practice

[@MiksRide]

One new subscriber ! I love your riding style 😍😍✌

[@Schaaf]

thanks

[@MattW..]

Many thanks for the finale ride.

[@Schaaf]

many thanks for the comment

[@AudiRaudi90]

Geiles Video Schaaf! Danke für die Serie und deine Mühen. Du bist der Grund weshalb ich mir auch eine PC26 geholt habe! Eine Frage hätte ich wegen deinem Lenker.. müssen irgendwelche Züge verlängert werden? LG ✌🏼

[@Schaaf]

gute Wahl! Ich verwende einen längeren Kupplungszug (von der SevenFifity Honda) und meine Stahlflex-Bremsleitung ist auch ein wenig länger, genau weiß ich es nicht mehr, aber ich glaube plus zwei cm waren das damals.

[@Pytte]

footpegs will be there as a memory always :)

[@Schaaf]

true that :,)

[@derhighland6528]

Wie immer ein super Video! Bist übrigens immer der, auf den ich verweise wenn mir wieder jemand sagt seine 600 ccm würden einfach nicht ausreichen. Mach weiter so (ohne erneuten Unfall natürlich)! Ride safe ;-)

[@Schaaf]

freut mich, danke!!

[@patriciofarina1644]

be well Shcaaf, thanks for all the tips!. just one q´ What`s is the name of your bike? Saludos amigo!

[@GO2RUPTOR]

Hello nice video like usual. Just a question, I have a GoPro hero 4 and I would like to buy a nd filter. But I don’t find it. Could you send me a link ? Thanks you

[@Schaaf]

there you go: amzn.to/2d4lBb1

[@Shenobi78]

Fuck, the best riding video in KZbin I ever Seen. It also give me shivers !Dude, if you fall, you'll be split in a half with thoose security rail guard :-/

[@Schaaf]

true that

[@0103monk]

Hi Schaaf, let's go together next year, as years before to take you back to your new zone where you feel comftable and bring us back awesome videos. Also I can help to make some raws of streets if it helps to you. Hope to see you on the street, Rg Alex

[@Schaaf]

you're certainly the right guy for finding the best roads :)

[@serotm638]

Very nice and clear riding lane 💪 And i love to see how quick u can go with a 500! Greetings

[@Schaaf]

thanks mate

[@Chromosome1919]

Cruising aint so bad at all. You get to enjoy the view much better. 😉

[@Schaaf]

I'll see if I can enjoy that next season

[@K0nst4nt1n96]

Ein Genuss! Schön gefahren. Endlich jemand der eine gute Linienwahl und Interpretation der Straße hat, zügig fährt und dabei keinen gefährdet. Ich habe einen ähnlichen Fahrstil wie du :) Übrigens: dein Spiegel isch verdreht.

[@Schaaf]

danke dir!!

[@benas664]

Man this bike sounds great. Can you tell me of any issues or problems you had over the years? Does this bike have a drum brake and if so how does it affect the ride?

[@Schaaf]

no issues at all! The rear drum brake works equally well as the disc one

[@JakubNvk]

Great video! Made my day :) What navigation are you using? Thanks

[@Schaaf]

a cheap Garmin car sat-nav borrowed from my Dad

[@rafaelcordoba1313]

I’m curious, how do you find this amazing routes? Do you plan many days of vacation just to ride or it’s a weekend thing? Respect for the ride and hope you be well!

[@Schaaf]

I planned the route the day before with Google Maps. This one was a lucky hit, like explained. Thanks!

[@jaamaan123]

Looks like a great ride thanks !

[@Schaaf]

thanks for watching!

[@yajnaamakusa8786]

Only just noticed, but that's a pretty good headlight.

[@Schaaf]

actually it's the opposite of that (24 year old bike) the only reason you can see it shining on the road is because it was dark (past sun set) outside already :)

[@Themomomma]

Hey dude :D Very nice video ! That CB sounds nice haha ! I'm wondering about what tyres do you have on it ?

[@Schaaf]

BT45

[@Ziege163]

Die scheiße könnte ich mir den ganzen Tag rein ziehen :P ... einfach hammer geile Videos , Schaaf. Mich würde mal interessieren wo genau du dein Mikro für die Soundaufnahmen platzierst ?! Danke vorab fürs Feedback !!! Weiter so ... ;)

[@Ranic_nl]

sehr schön meine freund !!! mehrrrrrrr bitte :)

[@Schaaf]

:D :D Hartelijk dank!

[@rramirrezz]

motorradfahren besteht nicht nur aus rastenschleifen. wie kann es sein, dass du ein so tolles viedeo bei deiner rollertour machen konntest ohne kampfmodus - für mich eins deiner besten. vor allem wurde es für mich eigentlich meistens langweilig immer nur die straße im tunnelmodus, fast wie in einem high-speed-ego-shooter, zu sehen. das drumherum macht es halt aus. siehe glocknertour-video. aber das ist nicht nur bei dir so - das machen ja viele andere auch. dass du fahren kannst hast du schon zur genüge gezeigt - aber die strassen in europa warten auf dich und die unterscheiden sich letztendlich durch die aussicht, die jenseits der mittellinie vorbeizieht. natürlich ist das viel mehr arbeit im schnitt, aber für den zuseher ist es viel schöner und abwechslungsreicher, wenn du mehr von der umgebung zeigst. sonst ist es ja eh nur eine abfolge von kurven und geraden. aber meine einstellung dazu kennst du ja ohenhin. ich weiss - schaaf 2.0 wird noch leiwaunder und da wird sich die spreu vom weizen trennen...die bewunderer werden sich zur nächsten sensation wenden und die fans deiner art motorradvideos zu machen werden bleiben. ;-) man gibt nicht einfach so das mopedfahren auf. des kannst auf deinen 100. geburtstag verschieben. :D :D :D

[@Schaaf]

Danke, Onkel. Du hast natürlich vollkommen recht. Wobei ich schon darauf hinweisen muss, dass meine Vietnam-Fahrerei in Sachen Risiko jedes RAW übertroffen hat. Ein bisschen was sieht man davon auch im Zusammenschnitt, aber vieles hab' ich nicht gefilmt oder nicht in das Video gepackt. Natürlich ist es für mich eine schöne Ego-Befriedigung gewesen, meinen Fahrstil zur Schau zur stellen. Aber zusätzlich sind diese Onboard-Fahrten für mich eine ganz eigene Leidenschaft gewesen. Ich hab' damit schon als 16-Jähriger angefangen. Und tatsächlich bin ich wohl selbst die Person, die sich die diversen RAWs am öftesten angesehen hat. Ich kann's selbst kaum glauben, aber wenn ich die Zeit hatte, dann kam es durchaus vor, dass ich mir meine Fahrten vor dem Upload 5-10 Mal selbst reingezogen hab. Weil's mir so viel Freude bereitet hat. Also steckt schon ein wenig mehr dahinter, als reine Angeberei. Vielleicht finde ich auch Wege, damit weiterzumachen. Natürlich nicht mehr so rasant. Ein besonders runder und sauberer Fahrstil könnte ja auch seinen Reiz haben. Ansonsten werd' ich auf jeden Fall versuchen, mehr in Richtung der kreativen Zusammenschnitte zu gehen. Finde auch das Genre der "Hybrid-Vlogs" sehr reizvoll, sprich Videos mit einer Kombination aus schönem Schnitt und Tagebuch-Erzählpassagen. Hab' ja auch schon ein wenig damit angefangen, siehe MotoGP-Trip Video.

[@FREEMAN....]

Great video as usual. Will we ever see you ride from the outside? I mean a video of you on your bike to see how you do your cornerings and the way you stand on your bike (do you kneel and how)? Ride safe anyway.

[@Schaaf]

there is a video of me getting chased on my CB500 on my channel already!

[@FREEMAN....]

:) !

[@FREEMAN....]

Found it. Wow...I'm speachless! Such an angle with a neutral style! Your tires must be made of glue...

[@Schaaf]

yes BT45 work very well

[@bendikkalstad6308]

Hey Schaaf! I love your riding videos:) Keep on teaching us how to ride! I just wonder, if you ever have been contacted by the police for driving too fast after seeing these videos? Personally i would love posting videos like this myself, but I´m afraid that it would cause problems with the police?

[@Schaaf]

I wouldn't have kept on posting these if that ever happened :) It's a risk though for sure

[@felixfelix4218]

Nächste saison kommen frische raws. Da bin ich mir ziemlich sicher😜. Sehr geiler ritt btw

[@Schaaf]

mal schauen. Wenn ich auf Tour gehen kann und richtig spektakuläre Straßen vorfinde, dann werd' ich wohl kaum widerstehen können, RAWs zu filmen. Halt nur mehr halb so schnell ;)

[@DoktorWahrheit]

Jetzt weiss ich was du im anderen Video meintest, das du auf ner 100er nur 4 Kurven weit kommst. Sind das die Fussrasten gewesen oder sind deine Pads aus Holz? :-D Gute Fahrt!

[@Schaaf]

Fußrasten! Danke, dir auch allzeit gute Fahrt!

[@angry.8]

Do you ever worry about animals that jump out in front of you like deer?

[@Schaaf]

what do you think?

[@MrSinister969]

BALLS OF STEEL! astonishing.

[@Schaaf]

[@arnoldpraesent174]

Hi, fährst du eigentlich noch/wieder Moped? Wie gehts dir? Coole Videos du hast gemacht... (Joda speach). Lg aus Stmk

[@arnoldpraesent174]

Schaaf ahhh, alles Klar. Diese VLog videos schau ich nicht so oft an... 😂

[@Schaaf]

kein Ding, hab's auch aus dem Grund aufgenommen, dass ich im Fall des Falles ne ausführliche Antwort parat hab, ohne dauernd das selbe tippen zu müssen :)

[@DC-88]

Amazing...! In Juni i go to sexten for 5 days with my car. You have suggest road or passes around that area to do with a car ? I’m searching for road like in this vid. Less hairpins and more speed ✌🏻👌🏼

[@Schaaf]

every RAW has the link to Google Maps in the description. I don't know any other roads than the ones I filmed and uploaded! Enjoy!

[@marcwouters1420]

wow top Schaaf

Hello, what is your exhaust? It sounds amazing !

[@Schaaf]

Leo Vince

[@Zexsrbenda]

Damn, it was at the very beginning of the video that I got amazed by your aggressive ride style... I wish I could develop such confidence like you bro... Peace :)

[@Schaaf]

it's not always recommended though

[@ovime8622]

Nice video...i did enjoyed very much. Thank you.

[@Schaaf]

thanks man

[@matteoroda]

hey man great video! can i ask you why do you ride with a finger on the clutch even if you press it with your full hand? just a curiosity...

[@Schaaf]

no reason actually. Just a personal fad of mine

[@CalD51]

It's good to see you back brother.

[@Schaaf]

this more or less was my final farewell :)

[@BeNeTToN131]

Hi Schaaf! What rear tire is that? Do you still Rock Bridgestone's? I run BT45r on my NSR and have a bit over 1cm of unused tire left on the edge and i am wondering what kind of lean angle this tire is cappable of on fairly good surface?

[@Schaaf]

on my CB500 my 130 BT45 rear had no strips left

[@BeNeTToN131]

Schaaf Same size on my little Honda, so it should be good for more :D Right now i dont feel any tire slips while cornering when tires are warm, I will try to gradually increase lean angle to see where things get squirly. cheers!

[@Schaaf]

watch out though. The narrow BT45 don't really start squirling at the edge. They feel fine until the very end.

[@Itsryanpilot]

Bravo! nice thrilling video...

[@Schaaf]

thanks ryan

[@Sippp69]

I hope to one day be able to rip my drz like you rip your bike man! Amazing skill! Love from Illinois

[@Schaaf]

thanks dude

[@soarerrrr]

Sehr geile Strecke. Wo genau war das? Südtirol weiß ich aber wo? 😆

[@bwandl]

die kleine Honda schreit so geil !

[@Schaaf]

oja :)

[@bwandl]

Traumhaft welche Töne da aus dem Auspuff kommen wenn du vom Gas gehst! würdest du sie denn überhaut mal verkaufen? oder hängst du an ihr?

[@Schaaf]

wird nicht verkauft, weil ich dafür weniger als 500€ bekommen würde. Sie hat keinen materiellen Wert mehr.

[@ttz89]

When you change the oil and also filter too, how many liters of oil do you use?. Ty, bro. From Brazil.

[@Schaaf]

around 3

[@Jovi_97]

This was amazing o.O

[@Schaaf]

thanks

[@MOTOPT]

very good

[@Schaaf]

thanks

[@SickPrid3]

I was about to ask if you check the road on maps before to see if there are any surprises on it but then I saw the little cheat machine 😊

[@Schaaf]

I wouldn't recommend relying on the sat-nav for that. Some corners look like straights on the screen

[@poatemaine6200]

your tires, please?

[@chrisdadigger1018]

Riding on edge impressive

[@Schaaf]

thanks

[@Didi-ct9hq]

von wann ist das Video, vorher, oder aktuell?

Respect.

[@Schaaf]

thanks

[@georgipetkov9374]

awesome video :)

[@Schaaf]

thanks Georgi

[@TheRamblingBiker]

Well I already had a '94 CB500, but after watching your vids I got even more excited about them and just bought aother one, a '00 CB500S :D I do however need two sets of new tires and I saw in the description you ride on 130/70 Batlax. Is this working well, since normally it should be 130/80?

[@Schaaf]

ooh thanks for pointing this out! That was a mistake! I actually use the standard (80) sizes!

[@seventysevencats]

I like so many of your videos that choosing one is hard, I choose one of your edits, WINTER & MOTORCYCLES. I think it would be a waste of talent if you stopped filming or at least editing. I hope you'll find something you like can enjoy. A question concerning the 'zone'. How long did it take you to get in? When you had to slow down to cross a town, would it get you out of it? Since you started riding bikes, how long did it take you to get in for - the first one?

[@danocreations]

Curve Ahead he crashed but he will continue to record, but i think it will never be the same (and i surely understand that)

[@Schaaf]

yea Gr1zzly is right. I won't be able to get into the zone like that anymore. I think it took me about 5 years of riding until I was able to get into this mode of fast riding while maintaining absolute control. And yes, slow bits through towns always had me leave the zone but I never had issues re-entering it as soon as the reasons to slow down where gone

[@JpOcDenver]

THIS. IS. MOTORCYCLING.

[@Schaaf]

thanks dude

[@funkymunky]

She still purrs like a leopard in heat. Meorawr.

[@Schaaf]

:D :D :D

[@Juan-fc4bg]

Is it the camera or you scrape pegs with low lean angle?

[@Schaaf]

the pegs

[@Jovi_97]

I just got new equipment for my cb500s woooh! .. Anyways I think you could make another type of riding video’s. Even without the “raws” it would be so much apreciated and enjoyable to watch. Get creative ;)

[@Schaaf]

I'll try! Thanks!

[@teddybearkillerful]

Your right mirror tho hahahaha

[@Schaaf]

it always gets a mind of its own when in Italy :D

[@eberbacher007]

Hi Schaaf, Wenn ich dich so reden (in deinem andern Video) oder schreiben sehe, tut es mir schon fast etwas leid, dass dir normales Fahren keinen Spass macht. Ich selbst kann weder so wie du fahren, noch möchte ich so fahren, einfach weil mir das Risiko viel zu hoch wäre. Was mir Spass macht ist eben schöne Strecken, neue Länder, mit Kumpels unterwegs sein und das eben zwar teils auch sportlich wo auf der Landstraße auch mal 150 auf dem Tacho stehen, aber auf solchen STrecken wie du sie fährst, könnte ich in dem Tempo nicht fahren. Hoffe dir macht irgendwie auch nochmales fahren mal Spass. Versuche doch einfach mal zb eine Woche nach Frankreich zu fahren, Burgen und SChlösser anschauen, nett Essen, schöne leere Straßen, ist top.

[@Schaaf]

ja klar, auf Reise spielte das Tempo auch bei mir eine andere Rolle. Und ich werd' auch versuchen, mehr in diese Richtung zu gehen. Die Sache mit dem "normalen Fahren" ist halt schwer zu erklären, wenn man selbst das Gefühl nicht kennt, ein Motorrad enorm schräg bewegen zu können und dabei dennoch gleichzeitig sehr kontrolliert unterwegs ist. Die Maschine so zu beherrschen hat sich für mich unfassbar angefühlt. Noch wesentlich besser, als jedes Hochgefühl, das ich verspürte, wenn ich an schöne oder spannende Orte gereist bin. Ich weiß auch jetzt schon, dass mich die Erinnerung an dieses Gefühl niemals verlassen wird und ich, so lange ich auf dem Zweirad bleibe, nicht komplett darauf verzichten möchte. Aber nun muss ich einfach hart daran arbeiten, den Kick auf die Rennstrecke zu verlegen. Das war für mich zu jedem bisherigen Zeitpunkt finanziell nicht möglich. Dann muss ich mich jetzt halt darum kümmern, dass es in Zukunft ab und zu möglich sein wird. Also hart arbeiten ;)

[@KurtFischer67]

Schonmal über eine yamaha NIKEN nachgedacht? Mit dem wärst du zumindest vor dem wegrutschen bewahrt was ja in den 9 Jahren wohl die einzigen Gründe für Unfälle waren?

Hey don't let one kidney get you down. My younger brother had a complication at birth and had one kidney removed so his whole life is with one kidney. Don't worry about it bro. ride if you want to ride.

yea I can live fairly well with just one. But my risks simply became even higher now
