CB500X Big trip - S-1 Ep. 33 - Black Forest, great roads and sunshine

[@bombadil_moto]

Hallo Nick, vielen Dank für deine Videos! Du hast eine sehr angenehme Stimme zum Erzählen und editierts sehr gut, auch ist es angenehm einmal ein Video zu sehen, ohne Musik, die oft entweder unpassend oder zu laut im Verhältnis zur Sprache ist. Von daher hat mir dein Video sehr gut gefallen! Du warst in meiner Heimatregion und ich habe ab dem Bodensee fast alles erkannt... 😏 Ein paar. schöne Streckenabschnitte, die du gefahren bist hast du uns "unterschlagen"... 😏 Wenn du wieder einmal in der Nähe von Schwarzwald und Vogesen unterwegs bist, bist du gerne eingeladen zu übernachten und wir können dir auch noch ein paar schöne Strecken zeigen oder gemeinsam fahren. You are welcome! 🤗 Wünschen dir gute Reisen! Schöne Grüße aus dem Breisgau und Schwarzwald!

Vielen Dank für Ihren Kommentar, und ja, ich bin sicher, dass ich in Zukunft wieder in diesem Bereich sein werde. Vielen Dank für die Einladung und halten Sie Ausschau nach einem roten (aber schmutzigen) Fahrrad. Nick I hope Google Translate is my friend with the translation...😊 Thank you for your comment and yes I am sure I will be back in this area in the future. Thanks for the invitation and look out for a red (but dirty) bike Nick

I was near Oppenau this summer. On the way back towards Stutrgart went through the mountains. Seems to almost be motorbike nirvana around that region, never saw so many motorbikes in one location. Roads are very nice and as you showed, very beautiful villages in the area. Well worth a visit.

[@bikingtravels]

That is a nice memory to have Nick

Motorrad Nirwana 😏🤔 Ja stimmt einerseits, weil es sehr viele pittoreske und kurvige Strecken gibt, aber auch sehr voll ist besonders am Wochenende, in der Ferienzeit und nach Feierabend und dann oft auch von manchen rücksichtslos gefahren wird...🥴 Wir fahren dann in die Vogesen, die sind genauso schön, aber weniger voll... 🤗

Another enjoyable video Nick. As a young child, my father was stationed at Bad Tolz, so the scenery of the region bought by some pleasant memories.

[@bikingtravels]

Nice to hear Jim Nick

Germany was a big surprise first time I went on the bike. The buildings, the roads, and the countryside... all so orderly and well kept, just how I like it! As you say, the villages are beautiful. Maybe you saw what is claimed to be the world’s biggest cuckoo clock whilst in the Black Forest!

[@bikingtravels]

Hi Steve, I missed the clock but enjoyed what I did see of the area Nick

[@MegaHorse7]

Beautiful scenery in the previous episode, and the Black Forest is beautiful.

[@bikingtravels]

Totally agree Nick

Hi Nick, I'm just back from visiting my son in Leeds for the weekend and have watched this at the first opportunity. Such a contrast between Lees annd where this is, breathtakingly fabulous towns and scenery. Thanks so much for sharing your memories for which you must be very proud and which must be very precious to you. Regards Ray

[@bikingtravels]

Hi Ray. I hope you enjoyed Leeds, and yes, quite a difference! Many thanks for your kind words Nick

[@Nordkapp65]

Fair play Nick, 33 episodes that I watched beginning to end. Not many solo travellers such as ourselves or indeed KZbin vloggers. As I sit here in Salamanca at a campsite I'm watching the latest episode!14€ per night and €3 for a nice pint 🍻

[@bikingtravels]

Hi @Nordkapp, thanks for sticking with me! Bargain campsite you have found and 3 euros for a pint, how bad is that?! Nick

[@weiwei1808]

Good

[@bikingtravels]

Thanks again Nick

Have you set off for the second part of the trip yet? I prefer Northern Europe, looking forward to your travels there. :)

[@bikingtravels]

Not yet, time has just flown by this summer, hope to give an update soon on the plans Nick

[@MsDenver2]

Hi enjoying your video, I’m buying a bike next year for touring I’m 63 so interested for pleasure rather than speed so can I ask how you find the 500 as it’s one of the bikes I’m considering Thankyou?

[@bikingtravels]

Hi Donna, good luck with your decision. I downsized from a CBF1000 for this trip and am pleased with the decision. I'm not sure if you've seen my review of the bike 5000 miles into my trip? kzbin.info/www/bejne/opibaJmsm8t1nbM It is hard to recommend something which involves a chunk of investment, but since this trip I've completed another 2000 mile trip in mainland UK on the same bike, and will still use it for my Norther trip next year. Hope this helps?!? Nick

[@pookiewookie7679]

Have you put on new tires now that you are back home?

[@bikingtravels]

Hi, yes I've put the standard tyres back on as they'd only done 1000 Km / 600 miles. The wear on the rear AX41 tyre is down to 3mm, so still legal, but not for long really. Nick
