If I remember correctly bikes get a discount of about 40%, I am not sure how it works on the automated tolls but I have a feeling that sensors measure the length of the vehicle so if you were being followed closely at the toll by another bike you might get charged extra.
Did you miss the visitor centre for the Millau Viaduct, just off the D992 under the south end? Plenty of info and souvenirs in there. In 2011 I rode a bicycle through 6 hours of torrential rain to get there and despite being drenched I was still gobsmacked by the size of the bridge. I stood and dripped. A lot. The roads over the hills from Carcassonne to the south-west were nice.
On this occasion, yes. But have been to it before. It is huge isn't it. Nice to see it with low lying clouds in the valley and the viaduct standing proud out of them!
Motorbikes are Class 5 on the toll roads. Easy to overpay if you're not careful. My mate got stung for €70 on our last trip for toll roads between Annecy and Chartres. He was not a happy bunny as I paid less than half that. Oh, and most bridges are free for bikes with a special free lane to the far right :)
i know Im asking randomly but does someone know a way to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid lost my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Gerald Wayne Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
The price difference is probably because one of you paid at the rate for a motorcycle and the other paid car rate. You need to check that the toll booth recognises you as the correct class of vehicle.
At 0:40-0:57, I see a red octagonal stop sign that reads in English: "STOP", when in Millau, France, it should be "ARRÊT". Is the Millau a popular place to travel to? Is Millau a significant tourist destination? What kinds of places of interest are there?
richy can you and your camera plus editing software do stitch pictures so a 5 inch picture times 2 becomes 10 inch wide, because that bridge is a classic for that treatment, dave w
They say so, but I / we still don't have any fixed. I wouldn't spoil your helmet mate. Carry them, if you get pulled, fix them. But I almost guarantee, you won't.
Fully agree my friend! We take up no space, it's a pain for all other motorists also, as we have to remove gloves etc, so just takes way too much time..
Love the VLOGs though. I just got a BMW K1600GT and I'm watching all your videos to get ideas on routes, cams, intercom systems, etc. I'm leaning towards the Sena 10C EVO when it comes out. I like the all-in-one capability.
Gary F, he is not speaking backward. Richyvida is northern, and is speaking English which us Brits gave to the world. The accent and dialect he is speaking is older than that Micky Mouse shit you are speaking 🏴🏴🏴
I watched a documentary about the building of the Millau Viaduct. The construction techniques were amazing. Thank you for sharing Richy!
11 hours of riding... most impressive! Thanks for sharing :)

It's a lovely place. Great restaurants, the viaduct, obviously, and on the doorstep of some incredible riding roads. Defo worth a visit.
Millau Viaduct looks lovely
Where's He Gone, haha, love it.
Class videos fella.. 11 hrs on the bike Ouch.....
Hi Richy. Just been up the Alps with you .:-0
Hope you were comfortable ;-)
richy can you and your camera plus editing software do stitch pictures
so a 5 inch picture times 2 becomes 10 inch wide, because that bridge is a classic for that treatment,
dave w
very nice, and waiting for more
Hey lads there is a video on YT documentary on how it were built ok just thought you might want to take a peek,
Dave
Hi Richy. Do you still need to have the reflective stickers for the Helmet? Me and the misses are popping over to Memetz in May,
They say so, but I / we still don't have any fixed. I wouldn't spoil your helmet mate. Carry them, if you get pulled, fix them. But I almost guarantee, you won't.
Richy, Did you ever find out why there was a price difference at the toll?
No mate. I was hoping someone would give an explanation..
RichyVida Odd. Random moments of inflation based on how cool your mode transportation is i guess.
Awesome!
Motorbikes on toll roads should be Free.
Fully agree my friend! We take up no space, it's a pain for all other motorists also, as we have to remove gloves etc, so just takes way too much time..
Pip like a goon gotta be a t shirt there. Mega
I know what happened at the toll, egon got ripped off hahahah x
Why do you Brits speak backward? You say 'very picturesque this' instead of 'this is very picturesque.'
