I rode the furka grimsel stelvio gavia,.... passes this summer and i have to say that the furka, even though it was by far not the tightest and most difficult pass, was by far the scariest. those little bobbins on the side of the road are the only thing that seperate you and vour bike from a huge drop into death... Even though it was quite scary it was just amazing and i can only recommend anyone out there to get on their bike slap some luggage on it and ride into the alps. You wont regret it

Incredible views and an incredible video.

Does not really look as bad as it is...
The really scary thing is when you come round a corner and a lorry is directly in your face... -
I actually like those Dacia Dusters. I'd have one.

Great road, sheer drops, brilliant for thrashing on a 600

As a ex-pat biker living inland from La Rochelle France, my closest mountain passes are in the Massif Central (half day ride) or Pyrenees (also half day on the autoroute). As the Baron say's the alps is do able fairly easy from SE England, SW England, then the Picos de Europa and, or Pyrenees is on the cards, plus you can take in the Massif if you want to go home through France to a channel port. You Northern Bikers can go either way. If you are greedy you can route through all four.

Furka pass is the Goldfinger scene where Bond is following Goldfinger up a mountain pass.

Hey BvG it looks like you're using the F5MC comms unit? I have a solution that relieves the pressure in your ear by connecting some 3.5mm jack in ear headphones. So you don't have to wear earplugs as the in ear phones do this job and you get really clear audio from the F5MC. Interphone do all the parts apart from the headphones. I use Etymotic Research headphones that are very high quality and block out loads of background noise so act like motorcycle earplugs.
