Riding 800+ km in One Day on My Harley Davidson | Ep. 8
Took the wrong turn, but luckily I can turn around here in a moment. After this toll station. Itās fucking busy. I actually have my toll badge with me. In theory, I could just go left. Thatās where you can use the toll badge. But… I havenāt activated the toll badge yet. So weāll just do it the old-fashioned way. Just pay. At the counter. I donāt get it at all, man. I did get a card at the first one. I got a card at the first toll station. But I donāt know what to do with that card. Maybe I can scan it here at those toll things, but Iām not sure. For all I know, I canāt,
and then Iāll be stuck there. And then Iād have to back up a long way, and Iām not doing that. Itās also fucking hot. Mena, donāt complain. Be happy that the sunās shining. Itās better than rain anyway. Apparently itās some sort of stamp card. You have to stamp it here at the counter. And then at the end of the trip,
where you actually have to pay… Then… You probably have to pay a few cents or euros per stamp, I think. Itās just that guy said to me… That I had to show it at the counter. Well, not in Dutch, but more like… How do you call that… Facial expression. What a fucking adventure. I havenāt even had breakfast yet. Estimated arrival time: 6:26 p.m. So far. How the fuck does this work? How the fucking hell does this work? But yeah… Do I have to go back again? Yeah, I probably went the wrong way anyway, so Iāll have to go back. Yeah, definitely. Because apparently I took an exit earlier. While… The navigation is showing really weird stuff, man. Where am I supposed to go now? Letās see. Other side. Iām lucky itās not too busy here right now. How does this work? I really need to drive properly now. Letās see, we have to go straight, right? What a fucking… What a fucking hassle. But yeah, it all worked out in the end. So we can continue the journey. Time to refuel again soon. My ass. Weāre going to… Empty the wallet again. Weāre going to empty… The wallet again. Lovely, guys, lovely. Letās see. Gasoline ā benzina. Gasoline in Italian is benzina. So Iāve already been on the road for six hours. Non-stop. On the highway. Driving 130, 140. 120. And… Yeah, itās going really well. Except my fucking ass hurts. Maybe at the hotel theyāll have… A masseur. Who can massage my ass. But anyway… Probably not. As long as itās a woman though. There are quite a few motorcycles here, man. There. An adventure bike. Next to me, more bikes too. I think this is definitely… A popular country for motorcycle lovers ā makes sense. With all this beautiful scenery and mountains around here. And weāve still got plenty of time, so I can grab a drink. Now my arrival time is around 6:24 p.m. Still 208 kilometers to go. Nice warm Coke Zero. I still had it from Austria. Cheers. I thought that guy suddenly… I thought that guy suddenly hit the brakes, but… He couldnāt shift gears or something, man. And there was also… And thereās also a truck behind me now. So I had to move to the left at some point. But yeah. It all worked out in the end. Iām looking now… Right at the sea. Fucking beautiful, and… You can immediately smell the water and feel the warmth here. But unfortunately, I canāt see it because thereās a fence in front. But like… Really far away. You can look really far ahead. As if it never ends. Really vast. Another 55 minutes and then weāll be in Nice. And weāre at another toll station. Basically heading into France. And itās still nicely warm. Check out those mountains behind me. Fucking beautiful. Almost stalled it. My fucking ass. Finally, I can stretch my legs a bit. And here we go again. Same story. As… A few hours ago. But now at least I know how it works. So it should go smoothly. Letās see… Whereās my card? Fucking 38 euros. But yeah. It is what it is. Itās really beautiful here, man. In 250 meters, weāll be in France. South of France, baby. The CĆ“te dāAzur region. And weāre stuck in traffic again. But luckily, weāre almost there. Just 44 minutes left. I can already see it. I already know why thereās traffic ā itās because… We have to pass another toll station. Or go through one, so… Luckily… Itās not too far. In this case. You can really feel the ABS working. That itās just calmly… Or gradually… Pumping. Or something like that. I really love traffic jams, man. I think theyāre so much fun, man. Iād love to just spend another nice fucking 20 minutes… Fucking stuck in traffic. And another toll station. Six more minutes. But anyway, weāre almost there ā two more minutes. Two minutes. Room service is waiting for me, bro. Time to order some fries,
pizza, a burger… A nice fish dish… If they have that, at least. What a fucking mess, man. It is here though. Not even a fucking cart. Just arrived in Nice, at the hotel. And like I said before… I forgot to reset the trip meter. So now weāve… Letās see, we started at… So today we drove 870 kilometers. 4 11. Shit, my helmet. It smells like fucking smoke here. The view itself is pretty nice, though. Iām here… Arrived safely at the hotel in Nice, luckily. Thank you, Lord,
that everything went well. And that I arrived here safely. Everything went fine, but yeah… Yeah, so the… Highway in Italy… The E26, I think, from memory. What a fucking shitty road. Seriously, everyone drives like a fucking maniac there, and… Itās fucking crowded on the road. Traffic jams, and the road here too… The E8 or the A8… Here in Italy or France ā whatever it is… So fucking busy. But the last two and a half hours were really beautiful
to drive here because… You basically drive along… The sea, right by the coast. And… Yeah, through several… Tunnels I drove through. I think more than twenty, honestly ā so many, unreal. And crossed a lot of little bridges. Really beautiful. So in the end,
a lot of curves and bends. curves too,
and yeah, just super beautiful views. I just couldnāt really, unfortunately, capture it very well on camera
because I was constantly riding through those curves, and thatās just annoying for filming, but yeah, I still tried to get as many shots as possible. Today I rode 871 kilometers,
and I think I left around 9:30 a.m. and now itās 7:10 p.m., so thatās pretty decent. Took the whole day, really. Andā yeah. Great. Like I said, it smells
like f***ing smoke here, but it is what it is ā ā¬50 for a night. Fine. And I donāt really care about the rest. I can sleep safely here. The bikeās locked up safely too,
so thatās great as well. Anyway, Iām gonna take a quick shower and then
go get something to eat. Tomorrowās a new day. Tomorrowās a new day,
and weāre gonna ride along the CĆ“te dāAzur. Because of time, I canāt ride the whole route,
but Iāll just do what I can. So yeah. Totally forgot to mention, of courseā yesterday we rode the Grossglockner Pass. Super awesome. Andā I really enjoyed riding
that mountain pass. I just took it easy. I even managed to get some crazy drone shots,
so I hope you guys think that looks awesome too
once itās edited. Andā yeah. Yesterday was alsoā the emotions really started
to come out at the end, when I literally rode over that mountain pass. Then you start talking about things,
andā yeah, some things just come out of you, you know? And I just want toā look, itās not aboutā how should I say thisā itās not about trying to get attention. I just want to show who I really am. Andā others might only show
that everythingās always great, but I also want to show in my vlogs,
in this series, that sometimes things donāt go perfectly, and that things
just come out spontaneously. Soā I think thatās the most important thing: to be yourself, to be honest,
to be honest with yourself. Andā yeah. Thatās basically it. So donāt forget
to like, subscribe, and commentā leave a comment, share, whatever,
all that stuff. So yeah, awesome.
The continuation of day 7 to the South of France to ride the CĆ“te d’Azur!
