My ride today...

[Mr Bread]

Left at 9:30 got back at 6:30

Started the day on a supersport 1000 ds. - tricked out - carbon fiber everywhere.

We did one crazy road in the begining that went from CH to IT, the border crossing had NO guards, or anything.. just like a jersey stop sign - roll on through... from there that passes we hit were...

Monte Ceneri
Centovalli
Sempione
Novena
Gottardo
Furka
Grimsel
Susten
Oberalp
Lucomagno
Monte Ceneri

In that order.

From the Gottardo on i was able to ride my uncles 999R... Good grief that is a fun bike!

Was able to get a decent amount of footage, though I had lots of battery problems with the gopro.

That is all.

Doug - ahh, thanks for the heads up. I usually avoid 4, head through Great Brook to Carlisle, then down Bedford Rd to Monument street (which is great) and then inward. I'll keep it in mind to avoid using 4 as a quick shortcut if I'm running late next few weeks

Rode my scooter to work in the pouring rain this morning in Boston.
Kinda sucked I have to say!

Plus my rear view mirrors are broken.
Just adds to the challenge of dodging cagers!

Gotta hit up Paso de Stelvio if you manage to get in the area. It's an epic ride that will leave you dizzy.

Dickhead.

Couldn't let it go. Now I'm not going to get any work done for the rest of the day. Dreaming of the next trip....

This is the only photo that was taken today. It was taken by mistake - i think i hit the button while taking my helmet off - hence the awesome view of the road, not the mountains.


Trouble - Hopefully a Stelvio trip will be in a day or two.

Hooooooooly jealous.

The whole time I was in northern Italy I was wishing I had a motorcycle. I'll go back there someday and ride all over.

Mike, what kind of battery problems are you having?

I would like to post more pics, but don't have any. My uncle does not like to stop - at all. Only for gas - which is where i can change batteries, and sd cards.

The problem with the GOpro is that if you put it on your helmet, you really have no idea what the camera is looking at - even after adjusting the angles and such, and thus - i have a lot of footage of road - not so much scenery. I'll be using some different mounts on the next big ride to hopefully get some better angles and views.

We are planning on doing an over night trip into the dolimites over the weekend - i'll try to get some actual photos- perhaps at the stelvio pass...

[Mr Bread]

Mike, what kind of battery problems are you having?

Unless i've got brand new lithium batteries, like brand new each time i change the card, the camera shuts itself off after about 20 min. Its pretty sketchy when you have to look at yourself in the mirror while riding, trying to see if the camera is still on and filming.

Just got back from my over night trip. Went from switzerland through italy through austria, and back to italy for the night. Then back to switzerland today. Hit up the Stelvio, and about 25 other passes. I'm exhausted. Got some better footage, soon you shall see. On a side note - austria is freaking beautiful. Its like switzerland and italy had a sex and out came austria. I want to move there.
