Now I want to hear from the experts: What's the one legendary Italian road you think is MISSING from this list?
Awsome content, looks like I'm about to binge your channel. 😊
Very nice video! Do you think renting and riding a motorbike in May in Dolomites is a good idea?
I think I need to explore Italy more
Passo Gavia is very near Stelvio. I would highly recommend it. Not for the faint hearted.
Campo Imperatore, in Abruzzo, great roads and old villages surround, not mountainous but located in natural parkland, very nice area.
I just found your channel and I am thoroughly impressed. Looking forward to reviewing them all and what is to come.
Not really top secret surprises. except Stelvio all easy. Stelvio is horrible as you cannot see what is coming from above and you need the whole street.
What an absolute blessing it must be to have ridden those routes! I really hope one or more of these will be on my track record.
Especially the Dolomite one looks special! Great video, thanks for sharing.
Great video mate! I've always wanted to do the Amalfi Coast on my Multistrada. I think you may have added a couple more routes to that list! The Stelvio is iconic, but after riding it a few years ago, i think there are better roads in the region. 😎👍
After having cycled through the Himalayas to altitudes of 19,000 feet, I find it a bit excessive to hear that an 8,000-foot ascent is considered demanding. While alpine passes are undoubtedly beautiful, the true adventure, in my opinion, lies in the Himalayan passes.
Could you please share the gpx tracks-route?
could you do all this in 6 weeks? what a dream
