    Great job! I really love your videos. You are the first person to inspire me to strap a camera and a mic into my helmet (AGV) and go out and talk to myself!
    Keep making great videos and first rides and you will have me happy!
    Thanks and hello from California!

    Oh man. I miss that soooo much. I would love to do that road at 4:00am on a moonlit night. What a buzz!
    Fantastic video with some great shots. Riding was also excellent and not being afraid to use the WHOLE road where you could was great to see. That white line down the middle is NOT a wall and it should be crossed if taking a bend will be made safer and the law allows.
    I felt like I was riding down there with you and you can't get better than that. In my head I was making every down shift, using engine braking to max effect before touching the brakes, selecting the right gear in my head long before the bend came up. Picking my breaking spots and road position. In other words, getting into the "Zone" along with you. But to ride that at night when the road is almost certain to be clear and oncoming traffics lights could be seen a long way off would be such a joy.
    Damn. I wish I had a bike again! Alas, no money buggers that idea up but thank you for letting me ride on the back of yours.
    Great stuff Baron.
    Cheers.

    awesome vlogg Mr Baron, I have the same bike over her in Oz, I still love the "pop" of the quick shift pro both up and down the gears. I'd be really keen for you to do a vid of your camera and mike set up as it was crystal clear with nearly zero wind noise.
    Ride safe

    Looking at this video, I sure do miss the Alps. I was there myself, although in Austria, at the end of August and September. August was magnificent with temperatures up to 24°C on the mountain and 32°C in the valleys. Can't wait for next year.

    Hey BVG, not sure when or if you'll be going back to the grimsel but are you aware of the panoramastrasse to oberaar? There's a set of traffic light that are on green for an hour, then red for an hour as the road is very narrow. Looks amazing. Can't believe I knew nothing about it and rode right past when I was there 😣

    I heard you say to yourself "Look through the turn". You don't have any problem doing that mate. Your racing background really shown through in this video as you looked well though the turn and you shifted your body weight and handled that big ass bike with ease. Well done!

    @OtisENGINEuity 9 років тому +1

    you should mount your rear camera on a gimble so it shows just how far you are leaning over. The camera will stay level and you will lean in the shot.. It'd be a really cool shot to see.

    4.09 ' You never know whst is around the corner'. You should always drive at such speed that you always know what is around the corner! Just a few years ago , I met some one around the corner. Luckily my bike could fly through hedges, which was the safer option, in those 2 to 3 second than head on over the top leaving my bike going backwards whist crumpling in to the cars front engine block. A few close shaves taught me to drive like an old man.
