The Youtube page says it's Stelvio. I don't think so.

I do remember running a road like this on day three? But the other way. And it was much rougher. That single lane tunnel about 1 minute, and the building on the left about 4 minutes.

I'm thinking near the town of Como?

Saturday I parked next to an orange trimmed super moto and knew my bike would be slow all day as a result.




Was great riding with him and everyone though! I was so slow Teressa on the left never got off my bike. Slow day. I won't park by the fast orange bikes at a meet ever again.

I owned a 2007 Triumph Speed Triple for a few years, which was great fun around the local back roads - although it wasn't really suited for touring, and I never went abroad on it. I have been to the Alps before though ( in my youth ), but I think if I was to venture there again, I'd seriously consider trailering a bike there.

HERESY!!! :yikes:

Anyway, me thinks Rick is right. That doesn't look like Stelvio, at least not the east side. Also, I don't see those white little poles on the side of the road like in Stelvio, both east and west.

ok, I think I found it. It seems like it IS Stelvio. I looked at 1:17, when the tunnel changes. It looks like this: 46.510093,10.37827 <-- put this coords in Googel Maps and choose street view, looking east.
