      It's definitely never too late! I also think that with a few extra years comes a maturity that pays dividends on a bike. I was a bit of a late starter at 21, but thoroughly recommend it to anybody of any age! Enjoy the journey mate and happy learning!

      You're not wrong there Mick! I actually felt a bit freed from not needing to lug all the extra gear around and also it allowed me to take a few photos instead of faffing with the bird camera!! The mirror is a bit more of a pain to clean, and you can't just rub the bugs off as you ride, because it's incredibly easy to scratch. It does look good, but I might think twice before getting another one.

      Cheers Alan. I was a bit beat from the day (it was incredibly hot and even more traffic than the viideo fully showed) but I was also highly motivated! It would have been rude NOT to quickly check it out! Sadly timing meant that early the next day I had to already start heading back to Austria. So it was a bit of a now or never situation! Coffee also helped! 😆

    Nice one, again, I think I would not pass 70 let alone 80 😂.
    I see you use the insta 360, just out of curiosity, do you have to edit your footage on an insta editing program first? Or can it all be done on your standard video editing software? I use LumaFusion on an IPad to do mine 🤔, which I am also learning as I go 😂

      Haha! I can understand that! Luckily it would still feel fast! I think my average speed was probably in the high 20's!
      I stitch the footage together in the insta360 app, to make a 'flat' 5.7k video that I can put on the timeline in Davnci Resolve with my other footage. I then use the KartaVR plugin to 'reframe' the 360 video as I go along. That way it fits perfectly with whats happening. You can do it all in the Insta360 app, but there's just a little bit more guesswork. But it works almost as well. 👍🏻

      Nah, I think the gearing is perfect as it is. Those particularly tight/steep hairpins could have just used a shift to first if I'd wanted to blast out of them. But as it was, despite the low revs, the CB still pulled out plenty good enough. I was keeping it relaxed after such a long day in the saddle!

    I have only got some 2,5 years and 40 000 km of experience on the motorbike. Also, I've never been to mountains, but this year I'm planing a big ride over de Alps. Would it be a good idea to go trough the Umbrail and Stelvio or are they too technical for a beginner rider? I really want to do them as well but kinda have my doubts... What do you think?

    The tolerance is the reason why I ride after the SATNAV speed and in Switzerland there are 2 tolerances for Radar, 5km/h when measured by radar and 3km/h when measured by laser. So I ride (and drive) around 5km/h over limit. If i got cought by a laser it's only 2-3 km/h that will be fined and that's in my yearly budget 😉

      I would definitely tend to agree. The Stelvio is incredible for that view from the top. But the riding is mostly a bit arduous and repetitive.
