Not done the NC500 yet but have motorcycled quite a bit of it in this area 'off season'.
Absolutely stunning and need to get back. Bealach ne Ba over to Applecross then along the coast to Sheildaig and Torridon. Motorcycling nivarna (weather permitting).
Similar issue with motorcyclists and oncoming traffic. I may ride a big rufty tufty adventure bike but I a'int taking it off the tarmac and on the verge.
As for motorhomes. Clearly the drivers are not used to anything bigger than a car. Stopping in ridiculous paces to let you come through like on the apex of a steep hairpin. Once committed motorcycles cannot stop on the apex because there is no road to put your foot down. Always have to plan for a gap in oncoming traffic to execute the manouvre.
Hope the weather is holding out and the midges are not too troublesome.
