In this one I meander south from Pension Williams in Seebach finishing off the bottom half of the B500 through the Black Forest slipping past Lake Constance to buy some new boots before heading on towards my hotel in Austria for the night.

Scenery and roads get prettier and more interesting in the second half of the vid. I however, do not.

I’ve over edited this one a little but I’ve figured out the issues with the poor picture quality in the last two vids limiting them to 1080. So hopefully the scenery in the second half makes up for having to put up with my ugly face in 4k. What am I thinking, nothing could make up for that.

Enjoy!

Look, time codes again…

0:00 Diversion
1:02 Diversion be gone
1:36 I spot a big pole in Rottweil (the place not a dog)
1:59 Know where I’m going, don’t know where I am
3:22 Bad Hindeland (B308) TWISTIES
6:49 Over the border into Austria
7:41 Haldensee (Splendid Lake – I take a photo!)
9:14 Weißenbach am Lech (B199) SLOW TWISTY
10:18 You’ll need a head for heights
10:31 Scuppered by Rush Hour (FernPass)
10:59 I eat food and consume a room with junk

First aversion of the day well that is it it’s 20 10 or we Tuesday Yeah Tuesday Tuesday the 19th than video I just come out of from pin Williams we’re at the black forest and as soon as we’re at the Black Forest first road German road closure I mean

They do love their road closures uh so now we are going the long way around again you think that this is perhaps sent in you on a rather silly silly D toour I mean this is a lovely little bit of road to ride on but it’s not getting

Me to where I want to be diversion is now behind us cows are sitting down doesn’t that mean we’re going to get rain can’t don’t know that’s a lot of bollocks the road is dry and the bends are sweeping I hope we’re going left and not right cuz right is rce guys

Left is sunny skies Oh Google’s decided we’re compromising we’re going straight on some kind of funky looking building over there on the left wow I don’t know where I’m just looking a bit more Scenic over there in front of me although there’s also some gray clouds I hope we could avoid those but

Look at that Bonk as that thing is yeah I sort of at one of them points where I I don’t really know where I am I know where I’m going don’t know where I am don’t like that I like to know where I am not to have an idea of

Where I am positioning on the map if you like I could P to a rough area where I am but I wouldn’t know definitely heading for late constants or to skirt along the more than sh of L constants at least anyway so all good feeling pretty

Positive I like this sort of planning of like um you know just 6 hour days 200 miles maximum you know no big stuff I think I’ll save that until for when I’m on the motorways on the way back you know I think I can I think I could do those

Long bigger days on the m i mean I did 400 miles down to all so you know I mean that was about my limit you know I was done in by that point but uh yeah I think I can uh I can factor a couple of those

In so we just I’ll just sent a sign for the golden arches uh I might go and grab myself a cup of coffee right then some nice twist is coming up I hope there yeah you can really you can feel how soft the suspension is on this once it starts

Just throwing it from side to side that’s fine and there is more weight on the like I got all the luggage on can feel that white transfer a lot more taking hands off the past away that you know hey tighten tighten tighten still getting used to these new boots give me

Excuses I knew I mean 10 minutes old them down the roadl my leaky dayoners lizy with the Gars what a lovely B this is this point is where you do want that electronic suspension to just click a button to just firm it all up a bit but

Yeah can live without far more capable Rider would bring this in this current in its current state with the suspension this hill a lot faster than I can so B certainly isn’t the limiting factor in how fast this goes up this hill that’s for certain so hav’t just got past those few

Cars you didn’t come into this Alpine town of called over jock we are now in Austria literally just across the border just across cross the border look at this oh wow this is Mega I mean this you know this is September not want to speak too soon but I’ve struck gold with this

Weather this is perfect there we go this I’ll open out a little bit in a second on the left at that lovely T chili actually got a splendid Big Lake down here on the right side look at that very very nice wow that’s impressive okay let’s just jump in a

Quickly and just grab a quick photo I don’t care what people don’t want me here yeah whatever good BL that’s a very nice let’s just grab a Qui picky uh actually you know what we going put the bike over there why not get a picture of the bike next to the

Lake why not oh look at them pair up there yeah let’s have the picture of the bike next to the railings look at then brave souls down there swimming cool blimber more them than me I mean I’m getting it on the 360 as well I know but you know look at

That this might have been worth some fun if I didn’t have these pair in front of me shouldn’t have been so lazy I should have gone past them I’ll just be chilling out sat behind them I wish I wasn’t there oh well never mind never mind just enjoy the ride down I

Suppose oh this is that town that I I tried looking up booking out come for this place coming up which is is we weben backham but the be is like one of those funky bees that isn’t a be in German and Austria couldn’t even find it on booking.com for

Share.

  1. I'm enjoying the vids. I particularly appreciate the style of both filming and commentary. The bike's lovely too. We were over in late September, France, Switzerland and a bit of Italy. It was hotter than the Sun. Hugely enjoyable. Down as far as Lake Garda. Keep them coming. Cheers.
