This was the weekend on which the Austrian MotoGP took place by the way. On Saturday I decided to capture a couple of RAWs for you guys. Instead of watching the qualifying sessions at the Red Bull Ring. I'd say it was totally worth it.
Even with all this traffic. But still I wanted to share these rides here mostly because of the amazing scenery you can see on a particularly nice day like this Saturday was. I just love riding on mountain roads. Even at a slow pace. This landscape is able to take my breath away almost as well as spirited riding does ;) So this video shows why I usually try to do my riding on weekdays. You'd probably see around 70% less traffic. I'm just not always that lucky with my timing ;)
And in case you don't like the different riding style: no worries. All RAWs I recently captured in Italia will feature the well-known neutral seating position and scraping pegs all over the place ;) Oh, and addressing those who'd tend to think that sliding knees have no place on the open road: I have extremely long arms and legs. No joke. I'm able to touch down with very little lean angles actually. No worries.

These kinds of videos never get the most views but they sure are my fovorite! I just added this place to my bucket list. Nice video as always :D
thank you mate!!!
What the fuck, Schaaf. You ride like a madman without being antisocial, you set up your exposure and contrast absolutely fucking perfect, you manage to get well defined, not-too-sharp-not-too-soft absolutely epic vistas WITH enough motion blur in the foreground to get a very good sense of speed.
How did this channel not land you a job yet.
I'm guessing it must be because only very, very, very few people like you exist out there. Almost no one on here would even be able to spot all of this you just listed. There is almost no demand on Social Media for content like mine. But I got one more year as student and we'll see what happens. Thank you for a very wonderful comment!
Watching this mid December is pure torture..
Amazing as always Schaaf :)
thanks mate :)
Same feeling in January :D
Spectacular. We did the Großglockner Hochalpenstrasse and the Passo Giau un July on an Edelweiss tour through Germany, Czech, Austria, and Italy. Unforgettable ride and scenery.
Awesome!
You ride like a maniac! : P Beatyfull scenery and vid bro.
By a custom rider
thanks
Dein Video an einem nebligen Samstag Morgen... das heitert auf!
wunderbar!! Freut mich! :)
Love this althrough I think you may be riding a little bit too fast for the situation some of those corners got me really scared
thanks, I actually was holding myself back quite a bit ;)
Hello! Is it okay to feature your video in moto edit? You will get full credit for it. Cheers
thanks for asking but no
What a blast that was! I really enjoy the raw videos as they are what they are, warts and all !! What the hell are those two wheeled skateboard things at 17:40 and 19:38? I don't think i would enjoy riding one of those as they are just too enclosed for me. Thanks for another great video, As Always Ride And Speed Safe. Frohe Weihnachten Für Sie Schaaf. (I hope that's right)
Yes it is!! Danke vielmals ;) I'd accept the weird ass scooters though. But only on rainy days ahaha
It's so fun to watch you ride that CB500 like that :). You said you've got 9 years or experience in the video, that really shows. You ride really good with a lot of confidence! I almost have my motorcycle license, that CB500 looks like a good beginners bike.
It is one of the best beginner options!
I love the pops in the exhaust. They seem to be more audible this time. :)
yes indeed! The CB was talkative on that day ;)
Goddamn dude. I've searched for Austria ride video to relax and fantasize that ill do it one day, now i have to get some diazepam hahahaha. Great ride, beautiful scenery!
thanks
Another great ride on stunning roads to make me jealous. 😊
Loving your style Schaaf, just the right balance of lunacy and caution. 👍
appreciated! Thanks Al!
Endlich einmal ein Video ohne scheußlicher Musik. Danke!!
Bitte!
And this, my friends, is how you ride the Grossglockner! :D
commitment!
When i am in bad mood i watch these old video of yours....it helps :DDD
cool! Thanks for letting me know!
You are by far one of the most skilled bikers on YT. You, RJ, and V-Told make this technical stuff look too easy!! Cheers!
thanks a lot mate!
so very beautiful! I've been there this summer, no words to describe an awesome place like that, the only way is just riding through those road, it was really good to see my holidays in your video schaaf!
fantastic!! Thanks mate!
one of those rare mountain/moto videos I enjoyed watching
cool
By now I know that after watching one of your RAWs i want nothing more than go out riding. So I don't know why I even bother watching your clips in winter. But I guess I just can't help myself. Beautiful video once again mate!
thanks a lot and sorry :D
the more times i watch this vid .. the more i think this road should be on my bucket list before its to late ..
Definitely
I'd like to call this place Heaven.
indeed!
SWIGGITY SWOOTY
Schaaf
im coming for that booty. alsjeblieft
Intense ^^
Hi im about to live and travel Europe in my sprinter campervan with my DRZ in the garage compartment in the back!
cant wait to get to these amazing roads in the alps but im not sure how toll roads work as i see on google maps this road has a toll booth at the bottom?
how does the toll work on these roads? if i go in my van with my bike in can i park overnight at the top in the van and ride my bike on this road all day and stay in my van overnight?
is it a 1 time fee (single price) or is it based on how long you've been on the road?
thanks for any help with my questions!
Schaaf hi there Schaaf.
May I tell you that back in January last year, I drank a small amount of sea water from Cape Jarvis which was surprisingly not salty as you may think. The reason why I chose to do that was because it was clean and pure. It too would upset me if I found garbage in the water
I did it last week with, imho, the best weather possibile. Rain, snow, fog and heavy wind. Really this was a very high school 🙂, I suggest everyone to take the Grossglockner with bad weather
Solche Roads
freut mich sehr!!! Danke dir :)
The level of Editing and the use of lens has surely made this video look epic af. Great work man!
thanks man
Great video! The landscapes are amazing! 😍 I wasn't expecting to see BMW C1s on this kind of road, but obviously the local C1 club had organized a "Do it like Schaaf" day. Some say one of them managed to put a knee down and took a selfie at the same time... 😉
some say one of them managed to scrape its roof xD xD Merci Kiddo!!
I've been to a lot of countries in North America, South America and Europe. Austria is by far my favorite. I would trade lives with you in an instant.
cool! But trust me, you don't want to trade lives. Just place of resident ;)
Very neat riding, liked how you were so fast with the entry and still in total control. You must be knowing the road very well. It was fun to watch. Thanks.
thanks man
Your videos are helping with my bike withdrawal during this damn lockdown!!! Amazing roads and great riding.
Thanks a lot
Who needs TripAdvisor when you have Schaaf videos :D beautiful country, can't wait to visit!
jahahaha on a scale from 1 to 5 pegs, 5 pegs being the best score, I'd give Großglockner road 3.5 pegs xD
I would be curious to know the ranking of your favourite roads... 😍
every road I've been on so far in Northern Italy: 5/5 pegs xD
my favourite road EVER! Was there last year, stayed in Heilingblut, hoping for 2 days of fun. second day snowed, and the road was closed. :( can't wait to go back!! the roads around aren't bad either! great stuff as always, mate ;)
ouch! Too bad! Thanks still!!
I really enjoy your video's when they come out. The sceneries out in your neck of the woods are just stunning. When you hit what wet spot in the most scenic section I could see and feel the bike shift. I'll swap you your slippery, scenic, smooth roads for our Pothole, rough, different levels of bitumen, opposite camber corners of Australia. Cheers to you. Great riding , always feel like i'm there.
thanks a lot for another nice comment man!
Stunning views! Great video, a shitted my pants when you entered that parking lot at max speed 😁
thanks and sorry for that pair of pants xD
Dem views, dem roads. . . just wow!
thanks Carmo!!
Have done this run twice now first in 2006 and came back in 2015 and both times it was awesome, thanks for posting the video it brings back some great memories of the trips!!!
very welcome :)
wow...and WOW...what a nice road, very impressive, it seems like "Picos de Europa" montains roads in Spain.
like!!!
thanks a lot mate!!
Good Ride.
Old but Gold 🏍️
thanks Ondřej :)
Friend of mine almost got wiped out on that road, he did a shimmy when his pannier touched a car. I'll be up there this year, (COVID permitting (not with him though!) Can't wait!
Awesome vid. Great riding, stunning views, gorgeous sounding bike! 😍
I'm doing a road trip later this year and part of my journey takes me from Bologna to Munich - I'm looking at all these gorgeous Austrian passes through the Alps and thinking "must go that way!"
you'll love it :)
This just inspires me to do my motorbike test and upgrade to a 600cc :)
awesome!!! Thanks for letting me know!
Wie immer richtig gutes Video! Deine Farbabstimmung, Kontrast, Motion Blur etc. sind echt on point, macht richtig Laune da zuzuschaun :D mal abgesehen von der geilen Landschaft und dem guten Fahrstil. Mach weiter so, auch wenn ich jetzt im Winter manchmal nach dem Video traurig werde, wenn ich dann ausm Fenster gucke :´(
geht mir auch so :/ Danke dir!!
What a nice video !!! I love Austria, I would like to live in this wonderful country !!!
thanks Christophe!
Ahh those videos are so beautiful. Relaxing to watch before sleep.
A really good bike with a proper driver on wonderful roads driving fast.
awesome, thanks Lorenzo!
A bikers playground right there. Breathtaking piece of tarmac, with a stunning background
A lot of mobile chicanes that day. Cheers Schaaf. How close are you to the edge of your abilities and the bikes? I hope your well within your talent range, and the bikes ability. It looks a close run thing though.
Ride safe sir.
Feels like I was riding at 70-80% of my capabilities
These videos are a meditation. I feel the flow!
awesome!
Ich bin echt froh, Frühaufsteher und Schichtdienstler zu sein. Diese Strecke am Dienstagmorgen um 06:30 muss ein Traum sein. Mir gehen beim zuschauen schon die ganzen Autos auf die nerven. Ich fahre nur noch wenig am Wochenende ... außer zur Arbeit ;-)
jo, kann man sich leider nicht immer aussuchen
Oh My God! Insanely awesome. A virtual reality full immersion video! Heart racing!
thanks Lisa!
I love your clutchless upchanges perfect
Thanks
That cb500 is such a good machine. You wring that thing out constantly and it seems to love it!
yes it does ;)
upvote fürn Aufaung (und genereller Upvote, weil i afoch jedes vo deine RAWs upvote LOL) - und für die geilen neichen Einblendungsgeräusche
SCHEN DAUNK UND BESTEN GRUASS AUFFE ZU DE FISCHSCHEDLN
Can't wait to drive my Evora there :)
sweet!
Ah, my second home, I ski Kitzsteinhorn/Schmittenhohe/Saalbach-Hinterglemm 6 weeks each winter. Did the Grossglockner last summer in my cage. Won’t be complete till I find time to bring one of my bikes. Hmm... Suzuki Intruder M1800R (relax, enjoy the sights, scrape the pegs) or Kawasaki Z1000SX throw it around a bit.) Don’t have much time for the run out there though. Think you can also rent and pick up / drop off at the airport if you’re not fussy (the choice is BMW, BMW or BMW.)
take the Kawa ;)
ca. 4:00 .. damn ... ich nenne es mal 'mutig' xD
(y) super Video :)
schon OK :)
Bei der Stelle geht das eignetlich ziemlich klar, auch wenns auf dem Video nicht gerade so aussieht :D
die Überholmanöver von 8:00 bis 9:06 sind deutlich "mutiger"
nice to see schaaf again riding my playground. :) the lack of grip on the road mostly isn't due to bad tarmac. it might sound a bit weird, but it's caused my the brake dust that the cagers, caravans and coaches leave behind, especially in the hairpins. you can easily feel the grip-difference after a proper rain.
very interesting to hear that. Although it rained very properly the day before - I might just be not experienced enough but for me grippy tarmac definitely looks and feels a lot different
Schaaf you and not properly experienced? i don't think so ;)
I certainly don't consider 50K kilometers of total experience as "properly experienced" :) And when you are saying as local that the asphalt actually is good after lots of rain I'll believe you. It did rain a lot before I got there. But still I didn't feel as if I could go faster. I would say that's lacking experience then :)
i´d just call it less experience on that particular road, not in general. but you´re right, the "glockner" can make you feel unconfident at times. i also had a bunch of "interesting" moments there...you always have too keep your eyes open: salt, oil, brake dust and of course "mankei"-poop :D
2:26 the netherlands are 100% flat so no wonder engine braking was not yet discovered there...
Tehehehe
Nice clip mate!!! Your going hard on that bike keep up the good work!!
thanks man!!
Man that's an awesome road ,absolutely nothing like that down here in south Australia . Nice riding dude 🤘🏻
thanks Lynton
The most epic scenery I've ever seen in my life.. such a beautiful place ever... thanks for your ride.. if i going there by ride.. for sure, I'll stopping too much because of taking pictures there ahahaha.. seriously so damn beautiful ... 😆
I've been there around 15 times so I don't need to take pictures any longer ;)
That is indeed some Spetacular views. great ride thunbs up
thanks Sam!!
Atemberaubende Aussicht! Muss ich unbedingt mal hin.. natürlich gut gefahren, was kennt man auch anderes.. ;)
danke vielmals! Und ja, solltest du!!
Amazing road ! Naughty boy at 4.00. Great ride. A savant mixture of dedicated riding mixed with great observation, anticipation and caution. You go fast when you can. You go slow when you can't see if it's safe. In short - a brilliant lesson. When I grow up - this is how I will ride ;-)
thank you very much Vitaly!!
That doesn't give him the right to behave like if the road belongs to him 1st. Arrogance could kill. Just saying
Have you ever tried riding on a track before? I'd think you would be pretty good at it. Anyways, loving the maniac on a CB, epic riding as ever. And as we say in Holland, graag gedaan ;)
I desperately want to but not as long as the CB is the only bike I own. But maybe next year I'll manage to borrow something for the track!
Nice roads a very noisy bike topping the 100kph mark lol what 125 bike is it or maybe a 250? Cracking video
wahnsinn. bald kommt die fahrbare zeit wieder!
ja!!!
Wow tolle Landschaft! sehr cooler und zügiger Fahrstil! Da du dein Bike super kennst seit Jahren ist dies ein Augenschmaus zuzuschauen. Würde gleich fahren wenn ich die Eier hätte😂 Gute Fahrt in Zukunft und Alles Gute aus der Schweiz😉
danke dir, Michael!! Beste Grüße aus Wien!
Hammergeil die Fahrt!!!!!
Danke, Harry!
LOL. If that was your coffee substitute, we get adrenaline shots all say long here in India.
Great views and great driving as always!!
tehehe thanks :)
Du fährst so schön ! Wahnsinn wie du so fahren kannst obwohl die wunderschöne Aussicht so ablenkt haha :)
#onlybrakeifyouhaveto #ichwäreechtsehrhartausgerastetbeidemautofahrerim"tunnel" 😂
danke dir :D
I love your videos...so many people put music over them, which is ok if you like that particular music (Teapot One does the best music IMO) but hearing the engine is better - it makes it more real...more like I'm there.
And Austria is one of the most beautiful countries...got the nightjet to Innsbruck and headed over to Italy earlier in the year; going to do it again but just play on the passes for days next time.
Please keep up the great vids...it would be an honour to be passed by you one day! I'd like to think it wouldn't be too easy for you though haha!
thanks James
Nice! Love your video's. Keep em coming
thanks Frank!!
Netter Nachtisch zum 4.-Advents-Festmahl;)
Hau rein:)
niceee!! Danke dir!
the road and the landscape are very beautiful. Cool!
thanks!
You're welcome :)
Hey! Unglaublich wie du die um die ecken peitscht.. RESPEKT!!
was hast du da für ein Auspuff drauf ? :)
Leo Vince SBK Evo II
Will be there in 3 weeks IA
... will look to drive here with family and kids
have fun!!
oh my god ... The perfect weather and the perfect view !! Großglockner is so beautiful ... Hope the next time i will have this weather too ! :p Awesome ride broh ! :)
yes at least now you know how the landscape looks left and right. Instead of just seeing grey grey grey :D Merci brother!
actually i really loved the grey too :p
But nice to see how this landscape can change a lot just by the weather ! :)
De rien mon gars !! :)
Man, I really need to get some money together and fly over there and ride with you!! That view and that road is simply stellar!!!
YES INDEED!
Hallo Schaaf geiles Video
Hätte da ein Frage zu deiner Filmausrüstung. Was für eine Kamera hast Du? Und mit welcher Videoeinstellung filmst Du?
Auch finde ich den Sound sehr gut, ist sicher nicht das Orginal Micro?
Danke für Deine Antwort und weiter so
Gruss aus dem Wallis
ps. hoffentlich ist bald wieder Frühling :))
I’m hopefully heading out to Austria in August on my GS. Staying in Kaunertal really looking forward to it assuming we can travel!
Fingers crossed! The Kaunertaler Gletscherstraße is also amazing to ride!
awsome vid schaaf . do you still have the cb500 ? if so how many km on it by now ? :) and OMG what a nice place to ride :D . pretty sure i would slow down and enjoy it more
around 85K
Dich gibt's noch, schön ;) Hast Dich mental wieder einigermaßen erholt von Deinem "Unfall"? Und noch ein frohes Fest, falls nichts mehr kommt bis Weihnachten.
Absolut! War keine Erholung notwendig, ich war allerdings 5 Tage auf Urlaub ;) Kommt bestimmt noch was vor Weihnachten!!
So soll's sein ;) Irgendwann trifft es uns alle Mal, Hauptsache es passiert nichts oder nicht viel. In der Fahrschule hab ich bspw. gelernt, dass man sich immer vergewissern sollte ob der Ständer ausgeklappt ist oder nicht xD Wird mir wohl so schnell nicht mehr passieren.
I'm a bit late to this one 😅
Nice riding!
I'm personally a bit intimidated by the thought of bringing a carburated bike to such a high pass... Looks like your bike managed just fine though! Have you ever experienced any trouble starting carburated bikes at such altitudes?
Currently I'm considering getting a first gen r6, but I'm a bit worried about it's performance in thin air...
Yea, it loses around 20 percent of its power up there
That's less than I initially feared. Thanks for answering!
I hoped you finished at Edelweiß summit ahead of your final panorama
yup
awesome pictures of pilotage
thank you!
once again nice one! 👍
thanks a lot man!!
FANTASTIC!
❤️ Some days ago I joined that GREAT AREA on my BiCYCLE 🚲. NO TRAFFIC 🚌 🚐 🚙🚗 🏍️ just COWS 🐮 (Thanks CORONA 😷) 😀.
Best regards from AUSTRIA! 🏔️
Sounds great!
7:49 Na des mit dem BMW hot schon gepasst xD
;)
Vollen Repekt hast du von mir. Bin Anfänger und ich bekomme schwitzige Hände wenn ich dir zuschaue..
Echt harte Leistung von dir..
halb so wild, sag ich dir! Trotzdem danke!
Awesome. I love your content:)
thanks man!
I Love the exhaust sound!
me too!
Ich bin mir nicht ganz sicher ob du die Frage jemals irgendwo schon beantwortet haben könntest, deshalb frag ich selbst einfach nochmal :D Wo platzierst du dein Audio-Aufnahmegerät währrend der Fahrt? Grüße ausm Schwabenland und keep up the good work👌
steht in der Beschreibung
I really like your videos. Where did you mount the mic on the bike and how? Because the sound quality is awesome. I've been at the Glockner last year but i couldnt record nice sound with my gopro.
Is that crackling sound in the background your exhaust noise? Sounds really crisp! Also great riding.
yes! Thanks!
Moin Schaaf,
ich mag deine videos sehr aber eins stört mich. Diese aggresivität und die Beleidigungen in den untertiteln gehört meiner meinung nicht zum töff fahren.
du hast mich scheinbar noch nicht einmal ansatzweise aggressiv und beleidigend erlebt.
Wie sollte ich das bitte erleben? Deine Aussage sagt nichts mehr aus als "ich kann noch viel aggressiver sein" was eigentlich nicht weiterhilft. Es gibt schon genug beleidigungen und road rages, hier ging es am anfang nur ums fahren und jetzt kommt das auch hier hinzu.
Gut, du hast mich falsch verstanden. Ich wollte damit sagen, dass ich überhaupt nicht aggressiv und beleidigend auftrete. Mich hier mit diesen diversen Spastenvloggern zu vergleichen, die nichts anderes tun, als andere schlecht zu machen, und dabei selbst bei abgedrehter Kamera wsl. kein bisschen besser sind, das empfinde ich als gehörige Frechhheit. Bitte zeig mir, wo innerhalb meiner letzten 20 Uploads ich denn beleidigend gewesen sein soll. Da wäre ich sehr gespannt. Meine Zuseher behaupten nämlich das exakte Gegenteil.
Gettin after it!!
Thanks
Hi. Do you have external mic under the seat? The sound is too good lol what's that sheep for by the way:)
it's in my backpack!
Will you reveal a secret which mic is this ? Please
Great video and great sound !! I have done the Grosslockner last summer, fantastic road and great view. Should be nice to ride together sometimes. I live in Milano but in summer I often go to the Alps with my Kawa 1000
nice!!
Insanely good !
thanks Seb!!
Barely anything like that in the States. Nice riding
thanks
