Phenomenal!! My absolute dream is to do that one day.

Looks warmer than when we did it two weeks ago as you've not got any gloves on.
Also we go the other way over that pass normally. It's a cracking road albeit a bit rough and tight in parts.

What other passes did you do? Furka is one of my favs.

Absolutely gorgeous!

I can't see that good in my phone but it is that a transalp in your profile pic?

Sent from my pocket rocket that don't know how to spell

We started from Swiss Alps. Rode the famous Tremola road to Gotthard pass, then Furka, Grimsel, Susten are awesome passes.
But weather was on a colder & rainy side up there. Nevertheless the nature is hands down absolutely stunning.
In Italy it was warmer so even the Gavia wasn't that cold. Absolutely gorgeous, especially on the down side (my descent).

But the toughest to me was the Manghem Pass. Uphill (north to south), there were narrow and steep switchbacks.

I'll post some more vids later

No, it is an older Yamaha (can't remember the model). I took this pic on Mallorca (Spain). It was in some grocery store on display among other vintage bikes.
