**DISCLAIMER**
It's sad I have to "officially" announce something like this but since I know how some Internet folks work... I love Italy and Italians. Me calling them crazy actually is a compliment. Just how I like to get called crazy myself. I'm genuinely happy every time I come across other quick riders. Because I know exactly why they do what they do.

general INFO: In August 2015 I rode my bruised Honda CB500 off into Italy. To follow my holy quest of real-world-meeting potentially awesome people whom I know through my Schaaf Social Media pages. The folks I've met were all brilliant by the way.
I obviously tried to capture some RAW videos for you guys while I was there. Unfortunately my bike was not at a 100%. The Little Honda was safe to ride but I simply couldn't afford to repair all the broken bits before I took off. So while riding I had to get used to the following issues:
Steering head bearing age-worn - causing slight issues while slow riding (will replace next season)
Front brake caliper age-worn - I only had about 50% of the bike's usual brake force at disposal (will replace next season)
Rear wheel bearing busted - causing the bike to unexpectedly keep its lean/riding direction while going through slower corners. While riding I thought all the steering issues came from the head bearing. After the trip I discovered the completely dissolved middle bearing of the rear wheel while disassembling the rear wheel in order to change the bike's chain. I had no idea my bike was constantly grinding up the bearing parts inside the back wheel while riding. I thought the metallic clanging noise came from the chain
Stuck chain links - I replaced chain and sprockets after the trip
Broken chain guard / swing arm protection - the thick rubber piece to guide the chain over the bike's swing arm fell apart. Causing the chain to hit the metal swing arm. Which quickly sent the chain into Nirvana.
Adjusting screw for the clutch lever broke - Resulting in me not being able to adjust the clutch's friction point. I had to get used to a completely new friction/biting point which made exact rev-matching while down shifting a lot harder.
Luckily with time I got used to most of the issues and I could almost ride as fast as I wished to. Not quite at this point of the trip yet but you'll see a quicker pace in the later videos.

specific INFO: Welcome to early August 2015. This is me riding down the south-western side of Stelvio until I hit the city of Bormio. It's much nicer to ride than the iconic north-eastern part of the pass. Some people describe Stelvio pass as the best driving road in the world. Which is complete bullshit. I myself haven't been on a lot of mountain passes but even I've seen a lot of roads which were way more fun to ride than Stelvio. But in my opinion the mountain views you'll get on Stelvio road are simply breathtaking and probably one of the most impressive ones in the whole of the Alps. No wonder there's a lot of traffic going on. The scenery is mind-blowing. In my opinion even the mountainous paradise of Austria - my homecountry - doesn't offer views quite as spectacular as the ones you'll get on the iconic Stelvio pass.

is that the lords prayer on his gas tank?
yes indeed! To my only savior: the almighty JEBUS
@@Schaaf not Rossi?
Well, this is pretty late, but it's his 'navigation'. He wrote down where to go at certain points.
For example: 'In Prato Allo turn right to Stelvio Bank'
@@krassergamerLP Rossi is jesus dad.
Sounded like the suspension springs nearly gave way mid way!!
They were faster on the straights, harder on the brakes... And you still caught up to them every time! Nice riding, especially considering the size of the road and the traffic. This looks like a bucket list destination for every rider!
+Zanpa it should be! Thanks man!
Which bike you ride bro
nah stelvio isnt that good for example passo gardena nockalm strase or grossglockner are way better or even roads around Mariazzel are way better than stelvio. In my opinion Stelvio is the the worst passo i have ever ridden
i know Im randomly asking but does anybody know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot the password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me
@Conor Weston Instablaster ;)
Dude you are a monster on the twisties! You definitely gave some hard time to those big machines! I
+Kafkaesque Rider thank you very much mate!!
schon so heftig am mitfahren das ich bald am Bildschirm klebe xD
W italia 🇮🇹
🇮🇹
Guys is italy all about twisted roads? Maybe that's why all euro bikes corner that good! I see where the ducatis are tested😂.
Fantastic! I've already loved the part 1, but the part 2 is even better! 😍 Now, there is probably an Italian motovlogger who has posted a video of his ride at the Stelvio pass, asking to his subscribers: "Do you know this guy riding a Honda CB 500 in touring mode with a GoPro? It was f**cking hard to pass him, and he kept following us so easily..." 😉 I
+MrKiddo ahahaha that would be awesome :D So far unfortunately I haven't heard anything. Well, Italia is kind of big :D Merci Kiddo!
Hello friend . Dacian/ Rumanian rude here 😉 . Just some curiosities , if you don't mind.
1 : CB 500 is air cooler. Doesn't it overheats on this long rides,especially forced/hard riden like this ?
2 : Did you tried '90-'98 Bandits ? What do you think of them ?
3 : Schaaf sounds german. Are you german from italy or just italian from Tyrol 🤔 ?
Organ donation card on the tankbag.
ehehehe nice one
HAHA! So funny😂😂
hahahaha....
Not sure if you are still alive while I am writing these sentences.... No doubt you are a very skilled motorrider but your performance is better shown on a race track... Sorry to say but I personally think that this kind of videos should not be shared on UA-cam... Others might think different, at least this is my view.
@@westenbergerstephan5955 nono its good i like to see how dangerous it is at those speeds on twisties so i wont do it myself :D
Amazing ride mate, even more so having read the description ;-)
I
+CaptainCranky thank you very much dear Captain!!
One day I may ride these roads.
+Hagz always worth a journey. Even if it starts in Australia ;)
OMG took me back to 2005, took my brand new R1 there.
Shredded our rear tyres in 7 days, mental trip.
15 years older now, don't think I've got the balls any more 🤣🤣
For me it's 6 years but I also lost my healthy dose of stupidity to ride like that ;)
Schönes Video! Deine Honda hält sich tapfer ;)
mir gefallen immer die sounds und pop-ups die du einbringst :D
Lg from Ö
I'm a 17 yo student without a bike or drivers license, but gosh this is satisfying to watch! Someday in the near future I'm definetely going to get my hands on a CB500. Keep up the great work mate, you've got yourself a sub :)
thanks a lot Tim!
Hey man great video, I'm in Australia and i ride a 1999 R1, but it's like new, i would love to ride in Italy.
Crazy Italians ? What crazy Italians ? I only see Crazy Schaaf haha !
Cracking ride and pretty safe too ( except that hairy tunnel entry at one point. ) I loved it !
Thanks Schaaf!
Welcome!
I
very kind! Thank you!
This is was fun!!! What was the second bike? Hornet or another kawa?
I
+Visatorul thank you very much my friend!
Schaaf, you never fail to disappointment my friend. I love your hard riding in the twisties style, so much fun to watch. Keep rocking mate!
Thanks
Nice!
As much as I ride fast, I'm reminded that there's always someone faster!
He is probably faster than those 2 guys tho because his bike was in way worse shape not to mention the half horsepower
@@ΧρήστοςΛύτρας-μ3η how is this a reply to my comment? In no way did I comment on the two other riders or say that Schaaf was shower than them (apart from passively perhaps as - 'there is always someone faster').
@@monomakes no worries man.. I'm not saying that you meant he s slower. Everybody knows there s someone faster than them except if you are marquez😂😂
I really enjoyed this video men! What GoPro setting is this exactly?
This video made me arrange some free weeks in the summer! Definitely need to ride these stelvio pass!!
+Sjoerdskoo just make sure to check out the surrounding roads and passes because there's lot less traffic on them than on Stelvio!
+Schaaf Thanks for the tip!
Stelvio has to be done, because it has to be done at least once, But for riding just take any other road around it or around the Merano, Bolzano, Trento to enjoy your bike!!!
true that
come fai a registrare l'audio del motore cosi bene? non si sente il rumore del vento....
was that his will on the gas tank?
btw i
thank you!!! That is my road book!
welcome^^ and oh thts nice....i didnt see part one at time of that comment so i didnt know xD
BRAVO!!! Great driving, really precise and on point for speed/prudence/fun. I love to watch these videos, but I'm crazy scared of riding the 2 wheels.
Stelvio pass is a biker paradise! Compliments again, da un Italiano!
lovely sound :)...
+StationZeroOne thanks :D
The one thing I really hated about riding in Italy was that its very common for cars and bikes cut the corners so you end up having to slam on brakes because some idiot is in your lane, scary as hell.
I can live with that since they don't complain when I ride a bit more 'enthusiastic' than I would do in Austria. I love the Italian mentality actually.
Nice ride dude! Greetings from italy
Grazie Stefano!
Where is this and what kind of bike? Thank you.
That was a fuckin' amazing video! :O :D Loved every second of it, especially after the two italians passed you, and...well, you kept up with them :D Also, I
+Gázser Márk thanks a lot Márk! :)
The moment when you started following those Italian bikers it was like a rollercoaster ride to me.
Weeee
i´m living on the stelvio pass =) i´m riding it daily @ ITALY =) ( im sorry my english is not good )
awesome!
You must have gone through loads of brake pads!!
@@tomf4547 yeah especially if you're riding a 2 stroke Motocross ( 4 stroke is gay )
You really are a threat to all of those who think they are better because they got bigger bikes. I saw those bikers shrinking for every turn you kept hanging on their tale. You are a calm rider. And that 500 Honda seems to be on the same pulse. While the other bikes are screaming the Honda is newer “stressed”. It seems so balanced. I like that David vs Goliat “theme”.
Thanks Thomas
I
Where you mounted your camera?
I hope it isnt in discription, because it's 18 pages
+Kaba Mc ua-cam.com/video/tRQ4OobrCMw/v-deo.html
Even for not knowing the road you dide very very well :P Looked like the guy at the end was maybe trying to get you to pull in with them ?
P.S Always Love the little bonus bits at the end :P
XT
+The XT Donkey I think they were discussing where to go next! Thanks!!
Schaaf aaaaaaaaa I see lol Have to say you kepthim behind you pretty well he was probably wondering why he couldnt pass you lol
Ezekiel 25:17 maybe?
Never compete on public roads, mate. Eventually it’ll end in tears. Having said that...I loved the video.
I didn't compete with anybody
im italian and I
thanks a lot!! Yes I heard this before! Shame!! :(
Sooooo true!! We simply don't know the words "logic" and "pragmatism"... :-(
*ITS administation sucKs (have you ever been abroad to say that? already see the entire world? you're lucky man! )
you have good espresso and pizza for sure :D. Greetings from Austria.
schaaf u dont have to be so insecure about your riding lines man we love you anyways XD
Thanks
Great ride man, cheers form Italy :))
mille grazie!!
I like your ethos of not raging at others mistakes, but more concentrating on not being another statistic.
+beemersyb acting Buddhistic in traffic is important to me indeed!!!
Some of those tunnels are a bit tight. XD
+Grumpy old sod on a bike. TIGHTISGOOD!
Wet too 😭
It's not about the power. It's about the size of your balls and your brakes. Respect my friend, respect.
+Jul In The Middle Thank you my friend!
2:04 Those bends are a bitch on the way up, especially on a sports bike. Great footage by the way.
Weißt du zufällig was du da bei Minute 4 vorbeiwinkst? Sieht im Rückspiegel aus wie ne F800R aber das passt glaub ich vom Heck nicht ganz ...
Or can anyone of you in the comments tell me what this Bike passing by at 3:59 is?
ich glaub, es war ebenso eine Z750 mit ordentlich lautem Auspuff
I
Great riding mate, letting the bike do the work!
+4418CARLOU thanks man!
Schaaf There is a guy on there doing the same road on a Beemer R1000s dancing on the gearbox. Bit of a tosser! send him your vid.
I
+RiderYin
steckst du deinen audio recorder irgendwo ein oder wie bekommst du den klaren sound hin? und wie trägst du die go pro für den geilen aufnahmewinkel? brustgurt?
I love to watch you videos Schaaf! I get so calm and you seam to be a really great person, smart, calm and a heck of a good rider.
Me and my best bud are planing on going on a road trip like yours in the next 5 years or so.
Have a great one and keep doing what your doing, PEACE!
+MrSyltburken thanks a lot for this lovely comment!! PEACE!
Sul passo stelvio dovrebbero mettere auto veloce 50 km emule 500 euro 10 punti patente io stelvio lo fatti un centinaio di volte equestri individui creano problemi scambiano lo stelvio come pista e dopo te li ritrovi a sondrio ospedale se le va bene
Hello from California, what year bike model your riding? just curios.
you found out already!
Great riding! (from your side)
what a famous visitor! :O Thank you very much!!
that's why I always love bikers. they respect each others, know their limit, and loves to compete
Hast du den ton des videos bearbeitet ? Ich vermisse die windgeräusche, find es natürlich ohne besser.. ;-)
I wish your videos were longer =D
I
+Dennis Richards thanks a lot Dennis! At least I can promise you a couple more ITALIA uploads are coming to my channel. Unfortunately I rarely have time to edit them.
What kind of bike is that?
I
+RubberGently
Beautiful mountain road.
thanks
mä-ä-ä-ä-h...mä-ä-ä-hh, sehr nice !
Can someone tell me what is that third bike in the video apart from z750 and cb 500 ??
I unfortunately don't know myself
I
+Horst Wrabetz haha Opfer
Schaaf omg lachflash ahahaha 😂
Nice to have reading material on your tank bag for those long straightaways.
finally someone got it right!
Pensa ke bello andare a cercare i tuoi pezzi giu' x le scarpate....una gamba li...un braccio qua....
5inoSpecial quanta cattiveria ahahah
BikeHigh la mia e' rabbia! Con il lavoro che faccio ne ho viste di cotte e di crude. Anke a me piace divertirmi in makkina o in moto....ma il cervello preferisco tenerlo nel cranio piuttosto ke spalmarlo sull asfalto
@@5inoSpecial perchè scrivi con le k dio kan
Also deine Wegbeschreibung im Tankrucksack ist aller Ehren wert ;)
analoges Navi halt ;)
Ich finds cool...nostalgisch ;)
I drove the stelvio this summer aswell. I ride a Honda Africa Twin, about 50-55HP, and i had to keep up with my mates. A BMW 1200GS 125HP, A ducati racer 140HP and a ducati multistrada with 160HP. For me it was a victory just to keep up.
+victor jansen Would've been the same for me :D Awesome!
Great stuff, thanks! Just back from a 1200km haul over the Route de Napoleon from Lyon to Antibes and back on my Tracer 700! In February!! The Stelvio is on my list. Grossglockner also......
sounds great!
Looks to me like your little half litre Honda kept pace with the big boys quite nicely.
thanks man
Great video, took that ride in 2003. changed my life! The front side is a gas too!
thankss
Welchen Auspuff hast du drauf? Freu mich über eine Antwort!
Leo Vince SBK Evo II
This man scraping the footpegs! absolute madlad, Great video! 😄
Thanks
Thanks for sharing this brilliant road.
Welcome
your videos are so satisfying to watch and those pure exhaust sound really makes my day! keep up the good spirit man! Lots of love from Nepal!!!
Glad you like them!
You are speeding on such beautiful road.. where you should ride easy, and enjoy the scenery..
I can do both
Hi amazing video, can you please tell me what settings you used on your GoPro?
Great ride. Have used any external microphone in this video?
You got balls taking that beater on that road in the first place. I
thanks a lot mate
I think I just fell in love with your bike
understandable!
Didn't manage to get the following vidéo but seems to me you're riding Honda CB 500?
Yes
Dude reads a book while riding hahaha
Hahaha
wich bike?
Amazing. Love the sound of cb and other bikes. And seriously i wish i could be there.. Awesome road for RUSH!..
I
mille grazie and best wishes to Italia!
What's the piece of paper if you don;t mind me asking?
my roadbook!
Schaaf oh right cool
Hey! May I use some parts of your video for a compilation? Credited and linked. Thank-you!
thanks for asking but no
Awesome rode. What is the best time of the year to ride on that road?
+Wanderlust8760 June, July, September
Amiamo il tuo stile di guida.
Sei un grande.
+Lost Riders mille grazie ;)
Italy has had the highest number of motorcycle fatalities in Europe for many years. Now we see why.
I don't, why?
Man that scenery blows away what we have around Dallas Texas
:)
Hello Schaff, I know what you mean. One of my dreams is to ride a bike trough "lago di como", that would be amazing, have you been there on your bike?
Nope
Stelvio pass was mentioned in top dangerous roads video and I started searching for bike on-board videos.
Found this and enjoyed your riding style and the exhaust.
it is not dangerous at all though
@@Schaaf Hehe
I always read the disclaimer at the start of your videos and think its a shame that there are haters out there you have to pre-warn. I mean I am no way at the riding level of most and we all start somewhere. We just started motovlogging and if people criticize my riding they can f*** off. I don't care what they say I am on my own journey of learning and discovery and will get better with time or a lesson that I choose to take with teachers. Always enjoy your videos. And... always ride your own ride, thats what I was taught #Gesto
cool man, good luck with your channel
Nice ride. In 2014 after having watched lots of Alps Riding vidoes I contacted a guy down there named Derpanzer Bau. I went there for a month from the UK and rode (& drank) with them. I learned so much and it made me a better, faster rider.
Love the Alps. wish I could live close to there. France & Italy have way more respect for 2 wheels than the British. In the UK everyone has Island mentality. They all own their little piece of road. And I agree, Italians are crazy but we love them!
I couldn't watch this video all the way through the mechanical crunches from your bike made my stomach turn !
lol
Was wondering whether I should see the video fully or leave after JUST READING THE DESCRIPTION coz I saw lots of warning in your video. But I neither did both.
Ok
FANTASTIC!
+sac96 THANKS!
What was that yellow thing at the beginning of the vid, and why you blocked it out?
the censoring would not make any sense if I told you that, sorry
Schaaf I guessed it might have been a mobile speed camera, but I’ve never seen them, and was shocked at how small they might be. Thought they only were inside of vans
I
+Karan Sheth true that! I loved the sound of their bikes! Thanks Karan!
Did that last year when it was wet on Harleys. Got a few looks when we got to the top where there was still 1m of snow
cool!
Crazy madmax riding style! The sound on that 500 is pure mindfuck.
Thanks
How often you usually use rear brake?
Never when riding like this. I usually only use the rear when going very slow or in town.
