I agree with rich there. Always wear gear, no matter how hot it gets. If you don't respect the ride, it won't respect you. Hate seeing these yanks in shorts and t shirts. It's so stupid. Proper squids. I love the B500 roads. Absolutely beautiful area. Another fine video.

[@andrewdyson4255]

I was on the B500 about 2 days before you by the look of it. But it was closed along the route due to road works and we were diverted. Enjoyed the bit we did. It ended up being a 3 week trip ending up in Dubrovnik with its 40 degrees so I know just how you felt. We also did many stops to Lidl and the ones in Croatia were the best by far. Really enjoying your trip guys, well done.

Brilliant as always guys. "I'm off roading" made me chuckle 😆. I'm planning to ride the B500 en route to the italian lakes next year, so it was great to see it. Shame about those speed limits, but it seems people can't be trusted to self-moderate anymore.

Consistently great drone footage. Interested why you choose Africa Twins to go touring on and what kit you use for really hot weather. I hope you keep touring and making videos for as long as you enjoy it.

[@ontheroadadventure]

We have a video on the twins and their mods etc for touring but basically they are the right tool for the job. We use Oxford Mondial textiles and remove the inner layers in hot weather

[@SerenWen_art]

We rode the B500 a couple of days after you (and in the opposite direction) and would agree, it’s lovely if you’re happy to pootle along and enjoy the view, but not a thrilling ride if that’s your thing! (I sit on the back so enjoyed the view as much as I could after 8 hours of riding!) 😂 Thanks for explaining the signs with the hands on, we couldn’t work them out either!

[@neilmackinnon3371]

Really good video, I've not heard of the B500, I shall look into that. I had exactly the same experience in France with cars tailgating, even at 5.00 am a short way from the ferry on a deserted road, I ended up with a truck / tractor unit right on my tail... scary. I also agree with you about over safe speed limits (Black Mountain road, Wales) and taking individual responsibility. Unfortunately, there will always be those that push it too far beyond their capability and then the emergency services have to clear up the mess both human and machines!

Yes but no matter how many restrictions speed limits and safety features you put in place, stupid will always do as stupid does!

On the subject of cleanliness of campground WC (toilettes) in mainland Europe, my experience is its become a matter of having to spend more money and stay and a higher "star" rated campgrounds. I pretty much only stay at 4 or 5 star campgrounds now which usually are kept cleaner. Any lower rating and it can be downright disgusting...and you wonder how people were raised to do this!! You no longer see the old cleaning lady with a plate for tips, who was right there cleaning when the toilet seat was still warm. I always look at online reviews as well. Its a matter of sucking it up and paying more for better service. Eva, the issue of drivers riding your ass or doing stupid passing in blind corners is common here and I will never get used to it...and it drives me crazy as well, car or motorcycle. I have got to the point where I will just slow down so much they just pass and leave me alone or lightly apply my brakes or turn on my rear fog light to tell them to back off. I have learned on roads with lots of roundabouts (like Italy), I use the roundabout to "ditch" the tailgaters even if it means going around more than once. Its my new strategy to keep me from giving them the finger and getting myself a 1000 euro fine 🤣.

[@ontheroadadventure]

You get a fine for giving the finger?! We like the roundabout idea, we hate these morons, the fear of being taken out by someone else’s stupidity is always high in Europe, Poland is ridiculous for it as well

I guess we are all willing to accept different levels of risk but for me unnecessarily taking extra risk doesn’t make sense

[@JimGDMAC]

It's not that the B500 is a dangerous road but there were too many dangerous riders, it is not a race track. Too many treated it like that so they had to bring in the limits on the bottom section to reduce deaths. I have ridden it twice, first in 2022 it was fog for most of the road with visibility down to 50 meters at times, not fun and no desire for higher speeds. The second in 2023 it was sunshine all the way and really hot although I cut off it down the L96 to Wolfach then to Triberg, some really great roads, even better than the B500.
