Looks like you had good weather at the Eagle's Nest hope the weather stays with you. I like the music you playing when your up there who is it I would love to know. will be watching your trip so ride safe.
Thanks for the compliment. The weather doesn't stay nice. I had some bad days. You can see from my tour preview video that some of the mountain passes were in the rain. As for the music, the artist is called "National Sweetheart", the song "Highway Nocturne". Thanks again for the comments. Just finishing off the next video to go up. Hopefully you'll like that too.

@@sweebeyh4327 yes, I was keen to visit this part of the world and the scenery was spectacular. As for the Tiger 1200, for sure, it is comfortable and practical for touring. My last big tour was Norway back in 2018, and that was on my old Thunderbird Nightstorm 1700. Great motorcycle, but you do start to feel the aches after a full day in the saddle. Thx G
@@AManAstray I have the Tiger 900 gt pro at the moment but after test riding the 1200 explorer I am going to trade up in the spring. Really impressed me.
@@sweebeyh4327 the 1200 is bigger (obviously) but the extra features on the Explorer range compared to the Pro is worth it. I used to rubbish heated grips and seats, but I take back everything I said On stelvio, Furka and Grimsel Pass where it was snowing a little, the heated grips helped. The blind spot radar in Europe also came in useful.
Hi Chris It was the 2nd September when I went. I decided to do this tour after the summer break assuming most "tourists" will be home. I intentionally selected a campsite not too far away (30min) because I'd seen other YT video's saying go early. I was in the carpark just before 08:00am. Bought tickets at the kiosk and up I went. When I returned, it was very busy. Hopefully you'll get get good weather too. Thx G.

so close to the Rossfeld Panorama Strasse 🧐
I thought about it, but I knew bad weather was on the way.
@@AManAstray good reason to avoid it .next time better
You got up to the EG at a really good time with not too many about. When did you go / time? Would love to head back when it was as empty.
