Eurotrip Part 5 (3)

Thanks, you'll fully enjoy it I promise. It was the best trip of my life and i've done quite a bit of traveling previous to this. We did all the top gear roads including the Stelvio pass. I advise filling up if your on a half tank or less before you start it because there was no petrol stations for miles around there. I really got down for some of the roads it was the best driving I've ever done. It will really improve your driving skills.

@simon44 yeh did it was amazing, drove thru france and hated it! for every reason there can be ;bad weather,ignorant french ppl. But Switzerland was spot on, italy even better, did the stelvio <check out my pass vid> the gotthard tunnel,furka pass, san bernardino pass, its all great, some nice roads leaving davos aswell, i agree with you it does improve your driving skills, mainly tight cornering techniques lol, i found consistant smoothness the target instead of fast accelerating & harsh brakin

@liverpoolroolz95 Thats funny, I had the opposite experience with the french and swiss. I suppose it depends on who ya meet sometimes. Yeah spot on with the smoothness theory. I used to have the approach of lets be Valentino Rossi, but it was only this year believe it or not when I met a very advanced motorcyclist whom brought me around a few roads how to really bike right. He hardly touched the brake once. All engine braking and smooth driving. Really improved my confidence too.

@simon44 yeh it takes the scariness out of barreling into a corner in fear, save your life somewhere like stelvio
