Grossglockener video links
« on: December 14, 2019, 02:49:22 PM »
At the Christmas lunch today my Grossglockner Tee shirt was spotted and that lead into a chat about the Europe bike trip Marissa and I did last year. I mentioned that I made a few videos of the trip that were up on yourtube, and said I'd post the links up for anyone who is interested to take a look. The Grossglockner is in Austria and it's the most breathtaking mountain scenery that I've had the pleasure to ride.

Really disappointed I couldn't get there today Barry. Would have loved to caught up with you. It's been a lot of years between drinks. Hope you and Marrisa are both well.

Been watching the videos on the LG OLED 4K and they're awesome.

What do the circle road markings mean?

Hi Garry.

Those circles are markings for motorcyclists to use. If your keep to the right of them on bends you won't be leaning over the centre line and into the path of any on coming traffic. Yeah the videos look pretty good on a big screen in HD.

Thanks for sharing Barry.  We really enjoyed reliving those Alpine roads through yours and Marissa’s eyes, especially the Grossglockner Hochalpenstrasse. Have a great Christmas. Cheers, Dave & Jenny
