Sustenpass - The Lonely Motorcyclist

The Sustenpass reaches and elevation of 2264 metres and connects the towns of Innertkirchen and Wassen; this video begins in Wassen, and concludes near Gadmen, before the road begins to unwind and get a little less interesting.

This is probably my favourite of the Schweiz passes. It features decent surfaces, however there are many tunnels, and most of them are quite slippery and poorly lit. This near 40 km stretch of tarmac is quite challenging in parts due to changing surfaces, tight hairpins, debris (usually in the form of rocks), and mobile speed humps (cars, caravans etc).

Excuse me shouting at the van at 1:03 - I had no idea that the GoPro microphone would pick that up at all!

@katpava I'm on an R6. A lot of people have given me stick for choosing a small track bike to tour on, however it is the perfect bike for me, and that's what matters :-)

A long vid, but i enjoyed every minute, because it's my favorite too!! And - be happy, that was nearly no traffic for summertime. Fast ride, downhill it's more difficult for me with my old lady ((-; (what's the bike you ride?)
