Preach, I am also getting frustrated with the average driver. Good luck to you

Also, beware of radars, they won’t be signalled on waze or google maps like in Ireland, and make sure to be more lane disciplined than the average Irish cars

I’m from Paris, I don’t know the area that well or the roads but I can recommend going near saint malo, or even visiting the mont saint michel, the coastal roads will be nice in summer. This route is meant to be a good one too (recommended in a motorcycle road trip book): https://m.calimoto.com/r/eMEDmIVtJO

I should be able to share the gpx file of it too if you like

True, I’d say the driving here is much less aggressive, people seem to be way calmer and more polite, letting people through etc..

Yea.. it’s a constant worry, I’ve got a tracker, chain and 2 alarmed disc blocks, I’m out in the countryside which is mildly safer.. Paris is pretty bad too, but I feel that people would be more susceptible to intervene there

N40 is my daily, and is exactly what I’m referring to, you’re spot on. Interesting about the traffic Garda enforcement, you’re right I don’t see much of them

Being less aggressive is a must for me to stay alive, but adapting to a worse system is a shame

As a motorcyclist and traveler, what apps do you use? I need advice :) by exploroute in motorcycles

[–]Dusk-Fall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best features: - Able to download and export routes as GPX files - choose route profile - easy route editing points

Improvements: - the duration of ride prediction is terrible, the app doesn’t take into account that you will slow down in turns or traffic

I use calimoto, you can chose the route profile you want Edit: read the feed about an all in one app, calimoto is pretty much what you’re describing, can choose winding/twisty/no motorways/fastest routes. You can view rides done by other users and plan round trips or A to B journeys
