I too had a pair of Forma adventure boots and they leaked as well. Superbike store swapped them for another pair and it happened to me again. I ended up changing them for Sidi Aria boots and touch wood, they’ve been perfect at keeping out the water. As you say, no such thing as bad weather, just bad gear. Of all the bike gear available,I’ve yet to find a pair of totally waterproof gloves, that’d be the holy grail!

Germany looked great and that rain looked absolutely delightful! Many many years ago I drove from Ebern in Bavaria all the way home to W-s-M non stop, as one of the guys in the car had a case of food poisoning (hardly cooked bbq pork!). I was probably on the same roads as you and know exactly what you mean about services, we just hit the truck stops every couple of hours, fuelled up, I grabbed a coffee (which was excellent, from a machine for €1.50) and we smashed the miles back to Calais.

Thanks for Watching Neil. NC500 is Stunning if you get good weather but that is as rare as rocking horse poo! What do you do to dry your gear when moto camping? We are determined to get the camping right for next year so we can afford to travel more. But we need tips! our last attempt did not go well! you may have seen the video?

@@ontheroadadventure yes watched it kinhell FairPlay. Firstly you got to have a good tent,wild country by terra nova is my choice,I dried out my boots by tying then to a picnic bench upside down with my trangia under them, cheap £15 waterproofs over my bike clothes kept most of me dry,hand dryers in toilets,but I will be honest in saying that when I got home from 9 days up there I swore I would never Moto camp again in July I was again on the north cornWall coast widemouth. Attracting lots of attention by my culinary skills. I’m 55 & just got myself a Bmw r1200rs for yep more touring.

So we have a Camping Dilema..... Two of us, and our kit in a small tent seems like a bad idea? Our thinking was we needed one big enough to stand up in and room to move. The downside is its bloody massive and 10kg on the pilly seat... We are thinking to buy a small tent and try it. We are also now looking into cooking kit, we need a stove and some flat plates etc, looking at sea to summit stuff? is there some sort of heater safe for in the tent?@@neilwilliams9844

@@ontheroadadventure most of my gear is back packing gear,they tend to be very compact & light weight,as mentioned I cook on the trangia excellent bit of kit. Good sleeping bags are a must I have 4 ex British army systems which are excellent too. And a £15 pound multi mat to sleep on, the best I’ve had. The sleeping bags are4 different ones for different conditions.

B500 is not very good it's over rated with mega slow limits. But if you turn off the b500 there are some excellent roads around through the forest. Great video guys

You are not wrong, I got Flashed in this area last year in a small town. The Speed cameras are everywhere around here. Where would you suggest to ride in Germany? We really like Germany and were thinking to head here again in 2024

@@ontheroadadventure I'll have a look on my maps and let you know triberg is great you might have been there . Most roads off the b500 are great . If you go back to Italy the col de sommelier and jafferau, col du parpillion, assietta.are all great off road tracks no too hard . You will be higher than any tarmac roads . . I could send you a map marked up. Keep up the good work
