After suffering so much rain i felt relieved for you watching this episode. Well done for sticking it out for days on end, had to be hard to endure!

I was lucky my gear didn't let me down and kept me dry and warm (apart from the day i didn't put my waterproof over jacket on! user error) The weather did spoil the views and our pit stops were rushed, but looking back the whole thing its was still good and i enjoyed it 👍

Finally ! The summer jacket comes into its own. Great vid…. I love driving in France, but I’ve never gone on a bike…

France is great, we want to go to Luxembourg then a war museum in Mons, Belgium then we are heading back into France to camp near Dunkirk beach. Feeling more confident about having sunshine now 👍 You should do it on a bike ;)

Some nice riding this episode , but seriously McDonald for lunch ! Some lovely French cafes . Well done on the video again .
@MotoTripTV8 ай бұрын
MacDonald's just because we past right by just after saying were hungry. Your right though, would have been nice to try out a roadside cafe like we did in Germany. 👍

Really enjoyed the video, mate and your bang on about how good that camp site was. It's 🎉not that difficult or expensive to provide some basic facilities 😂
@MotoTripTV8 ай бұрын
A few sites in Europe have gone the extra mile, fair play to them 👍
@jonathanwild22118 ай бұрын
So easy, but so neglected. All it takes to keep campers for another night or two is a little shelter and some chairs! Campsite owners take note!

It’s strange that you felt there was a big change when you crossed the Rhein into France because you crossed into Alsace. Alsace has swapped between being part of Germany and part of France many times over the years. The place names, local good and the architecture all have a very German feel.

I only commented because Germany, Austria and Switzerland all felt the same. As we travelled further into France it was noticeably different that the French have their own design on things. Its not a complaint, its actually nice to see, i like the subtle differences each country has with things 😁

We made sure that we arrived mid week to ride the b500 roads where empty, no police so had a good fast ride

Lots of speed cameras now though sadly

OMG! What the Donald Duck is going on?? No rain, dry roads and sunny. I thought I had the wrong video on😃, it's about time you two had a decent day👍. I did the B500 in August this year, NO-ONE was keeping to the 50kph speed limits, we did it at UK national speed, didn't see a single cop, or camera🤞. Anyway, you definitely deserve some decent weather, fingers crossed for the rest of your trip 🤞🏍.

Haha i know hard to believe we stayed dry! I did see a camera but strangely enough it was on the middle of a bend?

Hi been watch the series great trip you guys had apart from all the dam rain Would you recommend the camp site to use as a base to explore the Black Forest if so what the name of the place please? then we go on down to Croatia 😊 Thanks
@MotoTripTV8 ай бұрын
The campsite was called "Campingplatz Graesselmuehle" Blumberg 1, 77880 Sasbach, Germany I was ok, there may be better in the area, i would definitely plan before arriving, as most of the places we saw are for motorhomes only. So you find yourself riding around at the end of your ride trying to find a place for the night. Once you do, the roads around the black forest are great, not just the B500 but others too.

@@MotoTripTV That’s great thanks for the advice, we are trying to plan well ahead so that we have a good idea of where we want to be each day till we get to Black Forest spend a few days or so there then make our way slowly down to Croatia Yeh I saw and you said that so many were just for camper vans which is not good Thanks again An happy new year to you

I know this isnt about Dorsoduro 750 and that bike is also a twin, but I got an offer and I am wondering if you would think it would work for 10-12 hours touring. 80% of my riding is twisties in the mountains of Norway. But I also do long touring to Sweden and down to Europe. I want something light and nibble but also kind of stable. Is the air protection bad?
@MotoTripTV3 ай бұрын
It depends on the person, the more you ride the more you get comfortable on the bike. Most bikes are similar these days, i find standing on the pegs for a couple of minutes every couple of hours helps a lot.

Well just to contradict your statement that the big M is the same all over the world well that is not true for in thailand I thought the same but when we got the food it burned the adenoids for it was all spice like most foods in thailand.and in China well I can not describe what that was like.
@MotoTripTV8 ай бұрын
I'm ok with Spices usually. Noted though if i ever go my diet will change considerably, which seeing as i'm supposed to be on a diet would be a good thing 😁
