Tim you soggy schnitzel! Sorry the weather put play to a more daft riding style, but glad you had a good time regardless. The scenery looked epic, and even without that no doubt it was lovely just enjoying the freedom of being out on two wheels, with a mate, exploring pastures new. Please could you post a loose route trace when you’re all done - just to give those who’d like to do something similar a head-start to plan from. Cheers mate 😃👍🏼
That's great to hear haha! Just remember to stick it in rally mode and set traction control to about 2 or 3 (once you're used to it, of course). Properly unleashes the beast!
Great episode Tim, you might want to check your policy, most say you can ride other peoples bikes provided they are insured but this normally only applies to riding in the UK. Bit late now I know and your policy may be different but it is what is normally covered in a standard UK motor policy.
Fantastic escapism Tim! The 500 70kph speed limit is miserable, so avoiding it is the best way these days 👀 You always remember the bits with good weather on any trip 😀 (Even to Wales)
Agree with you, So much more in the BF other that the B500, loved it when i was there in august on the new Triumph Tiger 1200 👍 check out my trip also was epic, 7 days also Switzerland - great video Tim, hope the weather improves for you 👌
Another great video, Tim! :) Made me giggle because, your excitedness and "stream of consciousness" reminds me very much of myself on trips (and that which makes my wife's eyes roll... ;) :D :D ) Good to see the good 'ol Schwarzwald routes again, shame about the moistness... always fun though! :D
Yeah - to be fair we actually saw basically no police in our entire time in the Black Forest, and we were there on a weekend. But we were being good boys!
Tim, thanks for this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EWGaXIlMfWU.html The guys and I are doing a week in the Voges next week and it turns out my "Tour of the Voges" middle day was going right past this anyway and I (and I know a few others" will want to stop off here, so many thanks for alerting me to it's existance! :)
@@timrodierides Indeed. The problem I have always had is not enough time to do several days touring JUST the Voges, plus then several days JUST touring the Black Forrest!!!! (we usually only have time for one or ther other, or just passing through both...) I'm hoping winning the lottery or early retirement is the fix for that (and all other bike trips that are always far too short!!!!) ;)
@@timrodierides I've been exploring the Voges for years and still need to explore more! ;) There are SO many great roads and sights to see, it's a never ending task! Did some great exploring there the other week and found some great new roads to add to the database, need to go back again!!!! :) Really glad this time we took the time to go see the Linge memorial, what an amazing but also shocking place! The war cemeteries round the corner at both ends of that road were also quite something to see.
Awesome... Kässchbäddzla, how natives call 'em. Never have eaten Schnitzel tho, they are just to keep tourists from the island away the good stuff like Rote or Bauern (what are sausages). 👍 😀
