Well done Saffy you did it! I've ridden this road many times in all sorts of conditions and you would not be able to exit those corners on the wrong side of the road in 'the season' as other traffic would be there including bikes,cars, coaches, trucks and cycles!! The technique is a wide entry, looking up the hill for traffic and keeping a low gear and some momentum so you can use the power to steady the bike, particularly when loaded with camping gear. Now go do lot of the other ones ;)

Hi! I found your video yesterday and I saw all these "well done" coments. It is far from well done. I know that I'll be hated for this, but I just have to say something. As somebody who works on the Stelvio and has done it at least a hundred times with motorbike, let me give you some constructive feedback. Please don't take it bad! I mean to help you. Every day I see people riding those tight switchbacks with fear on their face, feet down, walking with the bike, then sometimes fall. You less likely fall when you have enough speed. When you don't, and you can't touch the ground because the road is steep, then you fall for sure. So don't be afraid of having enough speed to take a turn, and don't be afraid of leaning the bike in! But I think the most important is to practice on easier roads and try Stelvio when you can ride with a good amount of confidence! It's just terrible to see how uncertain a lot of bikers are.

That'll do Saffy, that'll do. This might be something to look forward to. I've been riding (legally) since I was sixteen and I'm now heading towards seventy. I've always worn glasses 'cause of short sightedness and, like you, found fogging up, rain and snow a right pain. Two am in the morning despatch riding from The City of London up to Leeds on the M1 in February in the snow was less than joyful. But I went for an eye test recently and the optician said my eyesight had improved and I could now legally ride without specs! Apparently, as you get older it's not uncommon for short-sightedness to rectify itself! You handled the Stelvio very well.

Am jealous. All the time I've been riding and I've not made it to the Stelvio pass. But since you said you were worried about the clutch - you can happily ride without the clutch, both up & down the gearbox. I knew the theory of it but had to put it into practice on the day my SV clutch cable snapped. Red lights were... interesting... but it's perfectly doable. Also, don't worry about the luggage, the bike was designed to be capable of taking a pillion... your luggage probably weighs less (and has a lower CG) than if you had a pillion on the back. Rocket will be fine, it'll just feel weird.

On the Stelvio the right hand bends are the worst because they’re so tight you can’t avoid going over to the wrong side of the road. We did it in summer and it was busy, we took to stopping at the start of the bend, looking upwards over our right shoulders to see if anything was coming down, then going round on the wrong side of the road. The left hand bends are easy you just go round the outside of the bend. There was a foot of snow at the top (bear in mind it’s 10000 feet high) and the road was shut the day before. I’m amazed it was open in winter. Congratulations on making it , respect!!
