Pictures and video from 2011 Passo di Gavia Ride

Right, so that part of the year when you can only check pictures and watch youtube videos on motorcycle rides has just begun and I already feel the parked motorcycle syndrome (and my accident probably ads some more to it). So what better time to look on the hard drive and take some more pictures out from the summer rides than now?

Just by looking at these pictures and videos I put on my shopping list a Honda S2000 -- 241CP, man I just need to have this to compensate the need for riding during winter (so more work for me in 2012!). Let’s have a look at my 2011 ride to Passo di Gavia in Italy. Stelvio it’s known as being one of the 10 hardest roads in the World, but truly I enjoyed more Gavia because of the beautiful scenery.

Since the first few km you could notice that the road is very narrow -- at the top is VERY narrow. Listen to my engine. I did, and I felt alive; just for this sound alone I felt my autumn crash was a bit of bad luck; I’m still a rider and I will ride the hell out of my bike next year. And yeah, if you wonder I wasn’t going very fast on this one. I was enjoying and feeling the best time of my life. So I had no rush finishing off.

The last part to the lake is where scenery changes:

I know some of you might be dreaming of this and it might look so far ahead and impossible to accomplish. But look, I did this and so could you. And while you’re doing it, you might just get there a new meaning to life. You might be that humble person saving any penny for the rest of the year, but you can feel like being blessed by the Gods while riding here.
