Großglockner II, The Best Gets Better!

- What goes up, must come down. Or rather in this case, whoever goes over the mountain... must... erm... come back over that mountain. OK, so it's not quite as catchy, but that's basically what is going on in this video!
So join me as I head back over the incredible Großglockner Hochalpenstraße for the last time and begin the journey back towards home.
This was easily one of the best, if not THE best, day's riding that I have ever had. If you haven't seen this pass, go there as soon as you can. It is WELL worth every single cent of the 27,50€ that it costs to ride it. You can thank me later!

This video decided me to visit Austria and the Großglockner Road, albeit with my family in the car😂 from Holland. It's now in my bucket list to go there with my son on bikes!!!!
It’s a trip you certainly won’t regret! Utterly stunning road to ride. I could have ridden it every day for a week and never gotten bored! In the car is probably beautiful. On the bike is ethereal!
The cinematography on this video was stunning. What a 2wheel paradise to have played on those roads. You’re truly a master with shot selection and camera placement, and an absolute talent with those editing skills. Well done, mate! Hope all well, if you have time, maybe throw an update on your IG story with the surgery recovery. Have a fantastic weekend.
Thanks very very much Mike. Really happy to hear that the videos have that effect! The ear is healing very nicely and i should hopefully be able to even do a RUclips update relatively soon! 🤙🏼
Andy, this is the closest it gets to seeing the view with your own eyes. Amazing work mate, I need another trip to the GroBglockner, but first it’s a long trip down to Sorrento in July.
Cheers Mark. I don’t think there is any such thing as enough trips to the Großglockner!! 😍
The braking method you describe near the end is exactly what my US based MSF instructors taught. Although I've never had the chance to try it in the Austrian Alps! Fantastic post and video!
Cool, glad to see I’m on the right track then! I can tell you wholeheartedly that it really works and makes the steep downhill twisties far less daunting!
2nd time! ❤❤📷🏍💕💕 What a road 🏍 and scenery 😍
I Totally agree. I want to do it again!
Looks amazing, what biking should be about and I've almost forgotten what that feels like. Thanks Andy
Cheers Mike. It was poor biking heaven mate. Truly can’t wait to do it again!
Awesome place to ride,bucket list stuff. Great stuff thanks for sharing. 😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦🥂 hope your well
Absolutely! It’s been on my list for a long time and my only regret is that it took this long! Number one ride of my life (so far!)
What an epic road, your doing a great job on filming all of this too!! I love your riding too, I see so many people struglle with hairpins and other corners on those passes that my heart almost stops beating. You just developed a technique used by Moto GP racers out of intuition, and feel love it. You must, if your in to it, try trail braking in combination with the rear brake. Once I understand the physics my riding when up by 50% lol. Keep making this vids, they are very enjoyable to watch!! Safe travels!!
Thank you very much! I can’t imagine riding without trail breaking and rest brake in the tight turns. So much more enjoyable!
I had to comment and second the comments given by @Motorcycle_Mike. This has to rate as one of the finest motorcycle videos on YT. Scene selection, 360 video selection, views, scenery commentary etc etc was absolutely perfect. An absolute pleasure to watch. Thank you.
Thank you so very much Tobias. I really appreciate you taking the time. 🙏🏻🫶
I totally agree, that mountain road is one of the best that I have rode. It cost 24 euros in July 2017 when I did it on my way to Croatia from England on my MT07. It is well worth the cost but I did it a little slower to enjoy the views. You were obviously enjoying the ride so thanks for sharing it with us. Ride safe.
Watch out for the bulldozer in the tunnels! "Quest e giornee quando vienee il bell soleille!" And buses with payloads hanging off their arse ends!
Truly magnificent. I can only hope to do this one day.
There’s really a lot to look out for in them there mountains!
It has probably already been said earlier but with all those comments I am not going to check. The idea of the circles on the hairpin bends increasing in size until you reach the apex, is brilliant. Add to that the fact that riding through them ensures you don't hang your skull in the opposite lane adds to the safety factor hugely.
Something that should be used more broadly.
I totally agree! Not only is it safer, but it makes the riding so much more enjoyable! Passes like the Stelvio are undeniably spectacular, but there are no end of people who manage to ditch their bikes on those impossibly tight zig-zags!
@@AndyManCam For sure. More enjoyable for all riders. But very tempting views to have you looking somewhere other than where you should be. :)
Haha! Also true! It’s a multifaceted problem! 😜
It’s a fantastic pass to ride and the majority of the cars are more than happy to let you past.
I totally agree on all counts Colin!
What a scenery! I'm jealous.
Probably the most amazing scenery I’ve ever seen to date!
Damn your bike sounds so mean when accelerating . Absolutely love it! Gorgeous place!
It does have a nice growl doesn’t it!
I have to both congratulate you and thank you for this series of videos of your travels in Austria. Not only were they great entertainment, they were informative and have been a fantastic aid to me for planning my routes this coming summer. Bloody awesome.... cheers budd
My pleasure Chris! Thanks very much indeed and i hope you have as much fun as i did mate!
Another amazing video Andy… (Obviously all you and nothing to do with the stunning scenery! 😉) Seeing all those stunning roads/views again have got me a ‘little’ bit excited for my own trip there next month!… I’m sure it’ll be no surprise to hear I absolutely cannot wait to get going (as soon as some more of the snow melts/gets cleared! 🤣) Hope the recovery is still going well. Looking forward to the next video in this series and to more when you can get back out there! 👍 Keep up the awesome work! 😎
Wow, absolutely stunning road and scenery, not bad camera work too!
Many thanks mate. Norway pulled most of the weight!
Wonderful roads & scenery. Cheers.
I wholeheartedly agree! Probably some of the best out there!!
wow wow wow great riding, great photography
Thanks very much mate! 🙌🏻
Stunning roads
Absolutely. Those Austrians know how to make them!
I was there 3times. Planing to go in july. Its a must see. No words to explain. Always sad when i go down.haha.so, i understand you. Nice video.take care.good ride,on the wrong side😂...doing good.bravo
I've been watching Andy all week. It's so great to see Europe through a lens. Unfortunately I've never been out of the US so this is so fascinating to me!
As always another awesome video Andy , absolutely stunning scenery , look forward to the next instalment . 👍
Cheers again Adam! Next one is in the works!
Because of your videos, Großglockner is now on my bucket list of places to ride!! BEAUTIFUL!!! If I don’t ever make it over there, at least I can watch your videos over and over again. Thanks for sharing!!
I should have negotiated a profit share with the GG toll booths! 😂😂 It’s definitely worth of a place high on that list though!!
I am a fan of four key motovloggers. Your camera work (and commentary), it has to be said, is far and away the best. great job Andy.
🙏🏻 Thank you most very glad David. I’m humbled and blushing behind my beard at such praise! Cheers! 🍻
Incredible footage my man. Top class. Cheers.
Thank you most heartily dear fellow!
Fantastic views and riding Andy! Hope everything's heeling well
Many thanks CB! Healing very well cheers. 👍🏻
Absolutely stunning.
Easily the most spectacular mountain pass I’ve ever seen!
Superb footage as usual, Andy!
Many thanks Craig! The Alps deserve some credit though!
Your motor blogs are very relaxing and entertaining. They are on a par with the Japanese motorcycle blogs, which have a tendency to be very interesting and uniquely artistic at times. The 360 camera is awesome.
Thank you so very much! 🙏🏻
Great vid as always mate, glad to read you on the mend. Classic line from this is over take a go 👍.
Thanks very much! Yeah, mending nicely. Should be back on it very soon.
And there I was thinking you was going to show us the train , Oh well only a week to go
Ha! I can’t give away all the goods at once! Maybe next time!
bloody epic sir , fantastic footage and sound .carl nottm , uk
Thank you very much Carl!
Ausgezeichnet Andy , your most cinematic effort yet. Good combo of wide angle and rotation with the 360…. didn’t get motion sickness once….. honest. Hope the ear thing went well and is healing nicely.
Thanks Christian! I’m really glad to hear that. I’ve been making a real effort to use the ‚less is more‘ mantra with the 360 stuff! The ear is healing very well thanks!
Just an incredible video Andy - love it
Thank you very much Michael!
Fantastic Andy, just what I needed on a Friday evening! All booked for my tour now, will be storming (artistic license!) the Großglockner early July on my way to Slovinia, not sure what on yet but it (probably) won't have 140+ HP! Will be a shortish day so might follow your example and have a couple of goes... Hopefully won't have a puncture like I did the last time I rode it. Hope you're on the way to recovery.
Haha us too. Same dates. The whole world will be on it. One big traffic jam. Look what you've done Andy 😜
@@DaveDayve You never know, we might be lucky! So long as it's not raining..... 😉
@@steveball2307 bloody hope not
Fingers crossed guys! I sincerely hope you get to see it somehow as empty as i did. From what I’ve heard, it’s almost never like that though sadly. I’m still wondering if it actually really happened! In any case, enjoy the hell out of it and leave enough time to chill out and really soak it in (and go back and forth at least three times!) cheers!!
@@steveball2307 Or zero visibility due to heavy fog... (which is what I got the year I went...in June/July :( )
Superb scenery 👌 great editing .top work
Love your videos Andy, the Glockner ain’t that expensive when you get the season pass like I do for 108 € 🤣🤣 I live about an hour away. Watching this one the 3rd time I found one little error: the border is between Carinthia and Salzburg.
Oooh you glücklicher Wurst! I realised my error as i was editing, but it was too late! 🙈
👍 Thanks for another quality video
My pleasure TTD! Cheers for watching!
Another great video. Got me itching to go back there. Just checked and its been 9.5 years. That's too long!!
That’s definitely too long! I‘m already getting the itch after less than ONE year!
Another great vid. Andy👌I am going to Europe (Germany-Autstria-Italy and Slovenia) on the 1 of June👍
Excellent stuff! I hope you have the ride of your life mate!
Loved the vid, Andy. Loved the still shot with clouds shifting overhead. The background mountain range makes an Aussie dream of riding there.
Thanks Les! I thought i should at least document the mountains while i was stuffing my face with cake!!
Oh no you did one of my biggest pet peeves. People getting on their bike from non leaning side. Don'T know why but always throws me off ;) To my shame i have never been on the ol Großglockner And i'm austrian. ShockHorror seems i gotta go there this year
Haha! Sorry about that! I’m just too lazy to walk around the bike sometimes! It’s easy to ignore what’s on your doorstep, but it’s not too late to open your eyes! 🤩
16:22 - good point about the rear brake, especially when you have a passenger :D
Yeah i can imagine it’s exponentially more important in that case! Unless you want to be wearing your passenger on your head! 😂
Bit of epic footage there Mr Canman. Magical at the top ,I could feel my nether regions shrinking in the chlliness.
Another watch needed to drink it all in again.
Superb
Happy travels 👍
Cheers TT! It was pretty fresh up there! Views absolutely worth the brass monkeys proverbials though!
Fantastic editing, I need some serious help! Love the Grossglockner and enjoyed that, thank you
Thank you so much Victoria! It’s now the top of my list!
That was just stunning mate. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thanks Chris. My pleasure mate, cheers for watching!
Stunning Andy ... You enjoyed that ... Hope my "gammy ears" get to do that someday 👍💪
I VERY much enjoyed it mate! Highlight of my biking career! Fingers crossed for your ears to get up there too! 🤞🏻
Thanks Andy you always take such good footage especially like it when you go through the passes. Epic
Thank you Kahi! The scenery did most of the work TBH! 😉
Love your videos Andy, stunning pictures and great commentary as always! This series has inspired me to do my first European trip from the UK taking in the Nordschleiffe, Grossglockner and the Zillertal on my CB1000R. Keep up the good work!
Awesome stuff Barry. That’s a proper trip! I’m certain it’ll be a real eye opener for you! Have fun!
Absolutely love the scenery and you motovlogs!
Thanks very much Jimmy!
Stunning
I totally agree. It’s my favorite ride of all of them so far 😍
Brilliant - thank you 😀
Thanks very much Nikki!
Ah, you were living the dream 🙂
Totally! Either that or I died and went to heaven!
What breathtaking scenery. Well done mate!
I know right! It‘s hard to believe it was actually real! Amazing sights.
!!Shit the bed! That looks sweet. Artfully done as ever AMC. Kudos!!
Oh Dar Gar, it WAS Sweet! I can’t wait to see it again!
Another truly stunning video, Andy. Many thanks for showing us that magnificent scenery.
Many thanks Jim, absolutely my pleasure!
Great video Andy, awesome scenery and amazing roads. Thanks for keeping us entertained 👍
My pleasure! Thanks for coming along!!
What a great pass, thanks Andy. Brings back fond memories of doing it myself.
I think it’s my favorite pass of all of them so far!
This is a fantastic video. Thnx Andy 👍👍👍👍
Many thanks indeed László!
As always fantastic editing, fantastic scenery, a joy to watch. Thanks for sharing 👍
My pleasure entirely! Thanks for enjoying!
Man, that was awesome. And I'm not even American.
Cheers mate! Sometimes assume is just the most appropriate word in all nationalities!
That pass is amazing and the scenery more so. Great video Andy.
I totally agree. It’s stinky stunning from start to finish. Cheers!
Really enjoyed this (and part one). Inspiring. Keep 'em coming!
Thanks very much Patrick! Just need to get the time off work for the next trip!
Another fantastic vlog Andy ,the roads and the mountains absolutely stunning and the way it was filmed brilliant.
Many thanks Norman! It really is a fantastical place! Almost hard to believe it’s real from the videos!
You were right Andy the best definitely got better 👌. Thanks for sharing again 🤜
Cheers Phil! The mountains get the real credit!
Spectacular mountains. Scenic route. Good job Andy.
Thank you! It’s endless beauty on that pass!
I simply enjoy watching your vids and this one especially as it's taken in my home country. Stay safe
Thanks very much, I’m really happy to hear it! Beautiful country you have there!!
Cant wait to get up there in September.
I believe that! I can’t wait to get back there too!
Top of the world Andy man brilliant 👌 top overtaking fella 👍
Thanks Andy! TBH i was expecting a few more negative comments about how aggressive the overtaking was sometimes!! 😅
Awesome video! Love the way you film everything ! Want to go there to!
Thanks Wayne. I couldn’t recommend going here enough. You have to see it with your own eyes!!
Ok 👌👍
Cheers!
Sweet Jesus! This is stunning video and editing skills. May I learn your camera gears? All the best, love from Turkey.
Thank you!! I have an Insta360 One X2: www.insta360.com/sal/one_rs?insrc=INRSR2I A gopro Hero 8, Hero 7 Black & Hero 6 Black: www.pjtra.com/t/SENKSk9GS05DSEhKTEtPQ0hIRkZISQ All mounted to the bike with RAM mounts: amzn.to/3CJCSNY , bit.ly/ramlgarm
Love the scenery side shots using the 360. Not using the rear brake and trail braking the front brake is all the rage these days, which I suppose is fine if you're on a race track but no good on roads.
Trust your ear is on the mend. 👍. Catch phrase from the TV character Uncle Staveley's in the sitcom I Didn't Know You Cared springs to mind. 🤭😉
Cheers! I’ll be honest, I’ve never fully worn a rear brake pad out myself. Always tended to leave the rear alone except in town. But now my eyes are open to the fact that it’s actually really very effective! It’s a brave new world for me!
I would love to drive there one day with my dad! Great footage👌
Do it! Do it as soon as you can!
Impeccable filming again AMC. Nice riding also, some sharp overtakes. Good stuff pal. Hope the ear is healing well. All the best 👍🏻🙂
Thanks Andy! The ear is coming along nicely thanks mate. Helmet ready in no time!
Cracking video as usual hope to be up there in July 👏👏👍
Cheers Andrew! Color me jealous, I’m desperate to go back!
Amazing vid and filming..great watch … felt like I was on the adventure too 🤟cheers Andy
Thanks Kev! That’s music to my ears mate!
Great video just awesome 👍
Thanks John. Cheers for watching! 👍🏻
Amazing scenery! Looked cold with the snow. Have to use the back brake to turn the big cruiser s.😎👍🍻
It was incredible the difference in temperature. Hard to believe that by the end of the day i was in full mesh and sweating my jubblies off!!
Lovely views, great spirited ride, really enjoyed it 😍🤘🏻
Thanks mate! It’s hard not to be spirited when the roads are THAT good! Although it’s worth having a few runs and just taking in the views for at least one go!
Awesome as always Andy. I enjoyed that one very much. Hope you are on the mend!
Thanks! The epicness of the location gets most of the credit though! Mending nicely cheers. Hopefully the same for you.
WOW.. Nuff said 👍
Absolutely!! 🤙🏼
I did enjoy this. Thanks Andy. Hope you’re on the mend mate.
Very glad to hear that Stephen. Mending very nicely thanks mate.
Pedal it. That way, you stay warm, get in shape, and move slowly enough to actually appreciate your surroundings.
I can’t argue with your logic Steve! All very good arguments! Might have to work on my fitness for a bit first though!
I’m lucky enough to live in Carinthia , Austria about 90 kilometres from Großglockner , Carinthia is biking heaven
Ooooooh you lucky sausage! I reckon my wife would never see me if i lived that close to those roads!
Excellent......U Da Man
Cheers Stewart, but really it’s you for watching! 🙌🏻
What an amazing ride mate.
Thanks very much 🤙🏼 Best ride of my life!
cheers for great video lifting my mood as i recover from covid i picked up on return from le mans last weekend and a bakers cyst on my knee to boot.hope you are recovering well too
Ouch, that sucks. Hope you’re on the mend and always happy to help however little i can!
Beautiful scenery and great camera work with choice edits. I could almost feel the nipping breeze blowing onto me. "Not what she said". Lol. Have we had the surgery yet?
Thanks very much! Yep, surgery is all done and healing nicely thanks 👍🏻
Fantastic! It's inspiring to see how you soldier on. Makes one appreciate the level of passion to your craft with the joy of riding. Thanks for sharing your personal challenges with us.
Gotta keep doing what you love! 😁
Absolutely stunning scenery. like everyone else commenting I must do this soon.
Do it James! It’s only going to get more full!
Cool ride Andy :-)
Cheers mate! Thanks for watching!
Can't wait to do that next year, the plan is to be on the top of there on my 50th birthday, Spain and the pyrenees this year. Keep the videos coming there ace.
That sounds like a great plan! Enjoy the Pyrenees. They’re a great warm up for next year!
Will you make the train 🚂 ??!! Can’t wait for the next episode 👍 Hoping your recovery is going well & you’ll be back out on the bike soon. Have you had any more thoughts about changing it & what you might go for? Suppose we’ll have to wait and see....😆
Time alone will tell and all will be revealed! Spoiler alert, i‘m home now, so it must have worked eventually!
Loving the new Camera work Andy
Thanks very much! Finally getting into a bit of a groove with the 360 action and making it a bit less vomit inducing! 😂
Great video
Thank you st Rufus!
Great film Andy. Nice tip on the braking technique too. So many don’t think to pass on tips that others may not know.
Keep them coming mate and stay shiny side up.
Thank you Pat! I try to help where I can. I just have to overcome my fear of being too preachy in the videos! 😅
@@AndyManCam my only criticism I have of you is that you don’t pontificate enough 😂
Haha! Duly noted!
Maybe your next bike is a Gs and you can be in teapot ones look at that gang hope your doing well great video again
Oh hell no! I’d sooner go in a car! 😂 OK, not strictly true, but they’re just so not my kind of bike! Cheers Peter!
Hi Andy, loved every minute of this ride, amazing scenery and extra special editing on this one, ride safe and enjoy.
Many thanks Derek! Was nice to remind myself of just how incredible that ride was! I want to go back!
@@AndyManCam Thanks Andy and just to add, what a traumatic issue you have had (ears) and so pleased, fingers crossed that all is good and stays that way, Cheers.
My pleasure Derek and thank you again for the well wishing. All is healing very nicely thanks 🙏🏻
Great video again Andy, just wanna makes me pack the bags and head off to Europe on a trip. Keep it up, hope the ears are still attached ok?!?😉
I get it! Editing the footage made me desperate to go back again! Ears appear to be holding on. Should be back on the bike very soon 👍🏻
