The Furka Pass, Switzerland - Alps 2 - EP02

[@99purplesky]

I don't know how you do it. A near 15 minute video felt like 5 minutes. Always entertaining, never dull to watch and listen to. KZbin is definitely your friend and credit where it is due. Keep giving us great content! :-)

[@sharpygsxr]

Came for the scenery, thumbs up for the Gopher!

[@keithholmes4931]

What amazing roads they look so epic and the baron is a legend..just passed my motorcycle test a month ago been driving cars for 29 years can't believe I have missed all them years of joy that a bike gives you...keep up the good work baron

[@NicChap]

My gosh Baron, this was Beautiful. OK the few glasses of wine from my couch always helps, but you really don't realize how awesome it is to share this. Man...That made my day. Keep on Ridin' Mate!

[@joshafj]

I reeeeeaaaaly need to go here one day. The scenery is just amazing. So lucky!

[@ridebywire6712]

Been there these year too. Transit to Route Des Grandes Alpes. Just beautiful.

[@kiwiandyt123]

Beautiful! Straight out of James Bond... only on a bike not in an Aston, and without being shot at by villains!

[@ToobiwanOnroadi]

Struth mate that's some mighty fine scenery and road

[@slaWterCH]

Drove the Furka probably 100+ times already, including very foggy and wet night runs. It still is amazing every time!

[@prettynormalme27]

Thank you Baron. Thank you! this is why I follow motoVlogs. For beautiful scenes like these!

[@mrnicktoyou]

I visited Switzerland a couple of years ago and loved it. I was near where you are in this video but in Lauterbrunnen. The entire country is like one beautiful golf course.

[@UnknownProdrive]

Great shot of the road across the valley snaking up the hill @0:18, what a trip man. You must of been smiling quite a bit behind that visor.

[@zr9115]

What an incredible road and scenery! I need to get my ass there.

[@Greggspies]

Road that in September three of us, that Hotel you passed was used in a James Bond films. We stayed at Innerkertion then went on to Stelvio stayed at Bormio was great trip.

[@MeatandMotorcycles]

Great Vlog! Beautiful and a little suspenseful.

[@philliesrock159]

Love this type of video from you Baron

[@BorisOnBikes]

Wow... I have to ride that rode before I die. Just beautiful!

[@aehmhierdings]

Its always that contradiction with your uploads between wachting immediately or setting aside, to wach it later and enjoy the anticipation. keep it up bro, great work as always. cheers

[@MrKiddoMoto]

Once you rode in the Alps, you can't stop thinking about it... 😍 Great video series, Baron! I've just watched the first two episodes, and I know I will have a nice weekend as I will be watching the next two ones. Thank you 🤘🏻

[@Leroyjenkinsjnr]

I followed and tried to catch a bmw 1600 gtl up here on my 800 Tiger and couldnt get anywhere near him! Loved every second of it. Not scared one bit. You just have to marvel at that which is laid out before you. Cant wait to go back

[@pwburch1988]

Excellent work Chris. ✌

[@ArthurSperotto]

Yet another awesome video, "Chrissy"! All the best, mate.

[@2dgScotland]

Looks amazing! Great video! Thank you..

[@garrymannion6258]

Did that pass this summer on a fully loaded cbr1100xx with the wife on the back in heavy rain, rubbish visibility riding through clouds.....My stomach was churning again watching that!!........some a those drops!!! Biking heaven on a good day though.

[@scorpion-moto5516]

stunning, looks like the roads near me!!! ha!

[@stephent2243]

Stunning. Thanks for sharing.

[@antgerada]

Amazing place, we went the same direction as you along the Furka in thick fog. Was terrifying!

[@woweeoi11]

Thanks for bringing us on board, that was fackin gorgeous!!

[@blankpaper66]

Incredible views and an incredible video. 11/10 Baron.

[@nickhendley9303]

Watched lots of your Motovlogs now, definitely one of the best Mvlogers on the tube. Inspired me to have a go myself. If you ever come to Vietnam I can show you some great scenic roads.

[@MrJazazello]

Great clip mate, hope you went over the Susten pass too which is by far the most beautiful in the area

[@ryexj6273]

hartside pass in the uk is a good a ride climbs heights of 1900ft can see the Lake District on a clear day! Cool vid!

[@eoghanhennessy15]

That quick-shifter is awesome

[@ninjanelly3506]

Absolutely gorgeous,you made my day Chrissy! :)

[@alecjtaylor]

"Never eat shredded wheat" thought I was the only one still doing that!

[@FloridaOutdoorAdv]

What a beautiful pass!

[@kidda74]

You don't want to be getting a bad case of target fixation up there!

[@Nexus-6]

I was thinking the same thing. Hit one of those cement pylons on the way down, bounce off and over the edge you go. Yikes.

[@VeryFastRodi]

I think of the same thing when im in Luxemburg, fixing on something u shouldnt and u could have a long fall. Does give some nice views though :)

[@procurement3681]

I was slightly terrified thinking about that. The field of vision on the helmet cam (the fishbowl effect) might make it look worse than it is, but still... He was smart to mention the panniers though, hit one of those and him and the bike would be flying.

[@PetrolHeadsLdn]

Awesome road, after my trip across Africa i feel the needs for some good alpine twisties!

[@toadstool7046]

Been watching since day one, never missed a vid.

[@mirage2k6]

I was there in June! Amazing riding.

[@kklose]

loving these videos! thanks

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

That road looks like a fucking dream come true

[@rimskylee1]

That is one awesome road 👍🏍😜

[@MadMonk_]

I love your European touring Vlogs Baron - makes me want to go touring myself !

[@Deadly1958]

If you do go over - it's grass all the way down. Mind you - you'd probably hit one of those little concrete plinths first. :-) Love the videos, thanks.

[@christianluff]

Great video. I lurrrrrve the Alps! I'm just watching this in the UK as I eat my generic breakfast cereal before saddling up for my morning commute, the prep for which will include flicking the switch on heated grips so this has brightened my day. Quite jealous you spotted some Marmots. I was absolutely hanging out to see one in my recent trip to Canada but could only muster the odd Chipmunk. As a special treat, search on KZbin for 'Marmot Scream' and enjoy.

[@kingsqueak2221]

Years back I ended two different 14+ hour drives at mountain passes. One was fogged in like you had, the other, the pass was completely iced over and I was fighting a loaded U-haul trailer without brakes, trying to pass me the whole way down. Both were just scary to get through with being so road weary. Note that I said 'drive'. I would not want to be in that state on a bike doing the same thing heh.

[@paulfastbikes361]

just looks so amazing

[@desrecording]

Thank you sir. As close as I'll get to a ride like that.

[@MeatandMotorcycles]

Great Video! You site got me off my ass to buy a bike and start vlogging! I'm in NYC so nothing as majestic as the alps. Thanks for continuing to put ups such great stuff. m

[@russcattell955i]

As a ex-pat biker living inland from La Rochelle France, my closest mountain passes are in the Massif Central (half day ride) or Pyrenees (also half day on the autoroute). As the Baron say's the alps is do able fairly easy from SE England, SW England, then the Picos de Europa and, or Pyrenees is on the cards, plus you can take in the Massif if you want to go home through France to a channel port. You Northern Bikers can go either way. If you are greedy you can route through all four.

[@31276965lmm]

I’m living in Switzerland since 2010 on the Thunersee.. Lake Thun. I’ve climbed all three passes.. Grimsel, Furka & Susten in one day on my Trek Madone and on my GSA 1200 .. definitely easier on the GSA .. but a fantastic feeling to do all three times n one day on the race bike ... 👍😉🇮🇪☘️

[@tonytaylor25]

Wow 😍😍😍 bucket list 👍

[@VeeFour]

well that's on my list for next year

[@KingDragon6815]

Hey mate, love your stuff. Keep it up!

[@simonlutt9849]

Awesome video. But it's quite sad that you were in such a rush. The place, where you had your little break is called Belvedere and there is a beautiful ice cave, a real MUST SEE. But I guess you'll be coming back to switzerland anyway, right?

[@CodeNameABK]

I went there on my ride last year, the cave was spectacular!

[@RegularJon]

I felt dizzy sat in my chair looking at that drop!! Amazing views though!

[@motowizard4444]

So green! We never see anything that green in SoCal

[@GGLiEx]

I rode the furka grimsel stelvio gavia,.... passes this summer and i have to say that the furka, even though it was by far not the tightest and most difficult pass, was by far the scariest. those little bobbins on the side of the road are the only thing that seperate you and vour bike from a huge drop into death... Even though it was quite scary it was just amazing and i can only recommend anyone out there to get on their bike slap some luggage on it and ride into the alps. You wont regret it

[@MattyT_86]

I think those flat twin engines sound quite nice.

[@morganXWB]

Heading to the furka pass (from Nottingham) this june after watching your vids, three of us, '17 superduke r, '16 tuono factory and a z750. I heard you mention you'd be going again on your hp4, more than welcome to join us, if the times good for you. Any tips you've got would be appreciated!! Keep up the good vids, get that zx7 on top of the srad aswell, loads better bike. All the best 👍👍🏍️🏍️

[@An.Individual]

ooooh 13:15 never seen road rage Baron before. He's usually well mannered.

[@pasqualito]

Great stuff mate! Thanks for the inspiration ;)

[@owningmylife4116]

came here from walterrific love your stuff got yourself a new sub

[@YeOldOak]

Definitely one of the best biking roads in Europe....when it's quiet.

[@arsenjimmeh]

Would be cool to hear your pick of kit for trips like this, and any tips/tricks you've picked up from doing quite a few.

[@RidingTheAlps15]

Well yeah, riding passes in bad weather can be really tricky. You can be instantly in the clouds where the visability is nearly zero and you just see all white. Riding the Furka is getting really funny when a caravan and a bus have to cross. But the view and scenery is awesome (in good conditions)

[@jalexandr55]

Great Vid! Its on the list!

[@andrewcrowther2014]

There is a vehicle train through the mountains, and its terrifying on a bike. Its open like the freight train on the Channel Tunnel.

[@Mick_English]

Bucket list for sure. Wonder what the best time of year is and when this vlog was shot???

[@stanleygardiner1780]

Typing and packing the GS before you even reached the valley Let's ave it 👊

[@twowheelwillie]

The brakes really do take a battering on big bikes like that! I remember on my old 990 Adv heavy late braking down a hill was always pretty hairy lol..

[@vmcougarintn5035]

:24 Dark Vader? That was scary and I am sitting in my chair! Yikes, in the dark and wet - no thank you. What was that caravan driver thinking? Or maybe it should be drinking? Beautiful scenery and that road... Like you I wonder how they engineered that road, I guess "When needs must" applies here.

[@saintetienne755]

Why am I revisiting this just to listen to your reassuring voice?

[@pawelkisiel6539]

good memories from my Alps 2014 trip! Did Furka twice but not the way you did in video. I guess I have to come back!:) Weather was fab, despite chill?

[@tristramgordon8252]

FFS! Keep your hand on your sixpence! One slip and your toast, bottom-eating-seat-bends love it!!!

[@Baza765]

Scenery to awesome for words Ride Safe Baza ;-)

[@eduardomundim9570]

Hello !!! Congratulations on the adventure !!! I would like to know the route, mentioning only the main cities they have made in the Swiss Alps. Hugs here from Brazil !!!

[@unionpacific8267]

You need an exhaust for the GS! Nothing is better than the sound of a boxer but what good is it at 5 decibels? Let that baby breath. Idk if staintune makes a full system for that bike but it makes my R1100S sound so sexy. All this being said assuming it's not the microphone which isn't doing the bike justice. Love the videos, Baron. Thanks.

[@MysteriousLabyrinth]

The Gofer creature,whoa great,i looked it up,its an Alpine Marmot.

[@JamesMadelin]

Hilarious that it looks like two out of every three bikes you pass are GS's !!!! Unbelievable number of 'em on the continent.....

[@ChiefJay]

I NEED to visit Switzerland. One day...

[@brunojeronimoabreu]

love this pass !

[@stirlingshire]

Very nice! I'm shocked that buses can navigate those turns.

[@TruthMV]

welcome to switzerland

[@HMSDaring1]

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one who says "Never Eat Shredded Wheat" in an attempt to remember directions.

[@RidingJapan]

come to Japan if you want to see some crazy road projects xD

[@mistery79]

it would be awesome to send a drone through that canyon.

[@gbjwal1]

That helmet facing shot at the beginning is yr Trueman hero shot. Cool as F.

[@LiveInSydney]

Aussie guy planning on doing furka in June. It's much scarier than I thought. Coming up from Como and trying to work out the route to Zurich via furka?? But loved this video as I do all your content! Bernie in sydney

[@ridingwithsam]

Just seen your old fireblade for sale on eBay!

[@JohnnyRa007]

Hi baron. Like your vids keep it up! How did you blacked out the cases? You still have the adventure?

[@pilocmusic]

more of that pleaseeeeee :)

[@Loger01]

I'm so tempted to do a trip like this. But somehow I don't think it would be very comfortable on a GS500

[@HamSpamJamLamb]

Very entertaining sir. Keep it up

[@horizontal120]

i love thees ture vids ...

[@phonetic808]

Good twisties, NZ has some amazing ones too, come over!

[@pascalmohlmann8839]

Ah fuck, I've had the same experience climbing the Furka a few years ago, as you did, Baron, that "other night": Visibility can't seriously have been more than 5 meters and everything around me was dark-grey. Busses still running though.. insane! It's been one of the scarriest rides yet, for me. The second time up there I chose the weather more carefully before I drove of from Zurich, but that time rode straight into a police radar-trap, costing me a lot of Swiss Francs and blocked my licence for a month. Still, I love the Furka.

[@mcba]

Foreshadowing that epic fine!

[@kermit56780]

Superb.

[@mhailo1]

Baron, any guides out there on best routes to take?

[@nilsmichaeljoseph]

You got any news on when the Ghost 4K will actually be released? Want to get my hands on one asap.. ;)
