Colle Sommeiller, Part1
My ride to the Colle Sommeiller (3009m) where you actually reach 2975m on the GPS at the Italian, French boarderline. This is the highest point in the alps you can reach legaly. It was one of the triphighlights after all, the road was rought to ride but the views you get for that worth the ride. the scenery up there was beyond this planet. felt like moon (at least). it was a lot of fun. What i did is a documentation about the whole street, most is uncut, so it could get boring to watch, it last about 58min (all four Parts). the scenes from going up and down the peak are from 23. August 2010, the scenes on the peak from 24. August 2010 after i met my moto club Alpiraid. Due battery issues and bad weather (short heavy rain on 24th) there is no more video material from the lower parts of the street. I ride a Yamaha XT660Z Tenere from 2008, no major modifications. I used Continental TKC80 tires, tankbag and topcase (orig) was mounted. For filming i used the GoPro HD in 960p mode, for br, br,
