    Hi man!
    in two weeks im going on my first solo trip on a gs1200 , in italy and switzerland.
    Been looking for a good video to help me out finding cool spots and overall how its going to be riding there...
    you have 100% helped me with alot!
    finally a video where someone actually talks and doesnt randomly put on videos with crappy music.
    Nice one.

    For me this same exact route would be more of a 8-10 day trip, because I like to stop a lot, go off-track a lot and just explore a lot in general. Last time I went to Croatia I ended up unexpectedly spending 2 days in some random hostel and then 1 more day camping in the middle of nowhere in the mountainside somewhere between Senj and Gospic. It was so nice there that I ended up staying and camping there, for 3 days, going on hikes and nature walks and whatnot, even though I was only supposed to pass through there, with my actual stop for rest being the town of Gospic. I just don't like riding from point A to point B and trying to cover the most distance I can in a day, like most travel riders do... I like to enjoy life and my experiences, not just cruise by chasing my destination... Especially not in a country as beautiful as Croatia. (Switzerland is majestic as well!)

    Well done mate. I live near Maidstone and ride all over Europe a few times a year. I need videos like this to get me through the winter. I'm guessing you hadn't toured much when you made this video. It was interesting to see what fascinated you that you take for granted when you have been doing it all your life. I agree about Furka pass, it is one of my favourate passes. I agree about Stelvio, totally overated. Well done, great video.

    My wife and I rode through Croatia, Italy and SW Switzerland in 2015 on a KLR 650 Kawasaki. It was quite an adventure. Stelvio Pass wasn't open when we were there but we were able to go over two passes. We ended up at Grindelwald in the western part of the country. Being from Canada we tried to take in as much as we could.

    52:52 … I see you have met Bura wind in Croatia. That’s a nasty wind that can mess up almost anything anyone is trying to do anywhere in Croatia, from Rijeka to Dubrovnik. Very strong, gusty and almost impossible to predict when it comes to speed. It’s never constant.

    Hi Aarron, im a Dartfordonian also, and have done many a trip on my Z1000sx to europe.....pre pandemic. I had a Croatia trip planned for 2019 but a severe Adriatic storm put that to rest just south of the Austrian Alps. Would love to see the route you used on sat nav , and accommodation details if you do still have.

    Filtering isn't legal in Germany though the police will usually turn a blind eye to it unless you have an accident in which case they will throw the book at you.
    There is always a chance you'll run into the one cop who will do you for it.

    Speed limits in Croatia are a bit odd. They live by the +10% rule. So if the limit is 50KPH then you can do 55KPH and the cops will almost always turn a blind eye. If the limit is 100KPH then you can do 110KPH and not worry too much.

    You’re an adult so it’s your choice but… I lived in a small town where a young soldier sitting in his motorcycle at a red light was knocked off by a car. He died because he lost too much skin. He was wearing a t-shirt and shorts. What a waste. In France all powered two wheeled vehicle riders have to wear gloves by law. Why? Because paramedics waste too much of their time dealing with unnecessary hand injuries. You are both foolish and selfish. Let’s make that arrogant, foolish and selfish.
