anyone fancy a trip round europe????

[mutty]

Hi, I have been planning a trip around europe late june/early july for a while now. Was supposed to go eith my cousin but he has now nicely decided to pull out was hoping to end up in bulgaria but im happy to go with the flow and see where I end up

I would come, but I'm somewhat without bike xx

[mutty]

pretty much tied up beginning of June - daughters christening on the 15th so thats why I have to go a bit later. Feeling pretty gutted at moment, its been one of my "must do things" and still really up for it although I would rather not go on my tod

I passed my test in Feb after riding a 125 for a year. My mate and I both took the test at the same time, he fail (has retaken it since) but it was actually his idea to go.

He's not decided not to go which is typical. I'll be going my GPZ500 i've done some work on it so at least i know what state its in, but if i find a decent 600-750 i might upgrade.

Maybe we'll pass each other late June

if you can give me some idea of your plans and timescales, i'll try and wangle to come with ya.

If you break down tho, you're on yer own

I'll be inn Barcelona until the 8th June then I'll be heading eastwards along the med for the rest of the month.

If you have an indication where you will be in middle to late June, might be able to 'bump' into each other...

Hi, sorry about delay in replying, was not on the site yesterday. Was planning to go for about 2 weeks last week june/1st week july.
Im setting off from york, was looking maybe to get eurotunnel to france, heading towards switzerland and austria. End result ideally Bulgaria but I dont mind if I dont get there - just want to take in as much as I can. Was looking at maybe a different route back leaving from amsterdam and ferrying home. Just to let you know a bit more about me - a young 41 riding an R1

Hey,
I was planning on touring France Late June with my brother. However he never passed his test and as such the trip was cancelled. Ive got 2 weeks off work starting 16th June to 29 June. However it maybe possible for me to get the first week in July off also.

It would be great if i could join you on a trip to Europe Not so keen on the idea of touring on my own either.

I would be on a CB500, not quite as fast as an R1!!

Hi shaun, def if you can get the first week in july off, as I said owing to this christening it would be last week in june and first week in july Ian. where would you be coming from?

[heroes legend]

Mutty, as long as I get my bike back from the workshop in time, I can tag along also? Would probably only go as far east as Austria, if it helps?

[mutty]

Hi, that sounds great, I dont mind if I dont reach bulgaria - I just want to go with the flow. The only reason I was headed that way is that I bought a property over there and was going to have a look at it. Was also looking at having a day off roading over there but thats just another idea!!!! Where are you from?

[heroes legend]

sheffield, but im currently hovering between birmingham and merthyr tydfil due to the missus' contract work.

TBH tho, I'll make it to Frankfurt in a day, so have no qualms in 'commuting'

[crazymotorbik...]

Hey Mutty,

Sorry i havent replied.

I've almost soprted out my holidays. I should get confirmation from the Personel witch within a few days.

I should have the last week in June and the first week in July.

If its ok i'd still like to come with you. Just broke up with my GF so very desperate to get away from things for a bit!!!

I live in Tetney just outside of Grimsby so not a million miles from york!!

Shaun.

[mutty]

sounds good to me shaun, gonna get some prices together, routes etc.... so should be pretty much organised soon.

[mutty]

Hi, ok - pretty much know whats happening now. Setting off on sat 21st june around lunchtime, getting eurotunnel to calsis (prices approx 24-50 depending on times) from calais heading towards strausberg then saltzberg then budapest then rumania then on to bulgaria stopping obviously averaging approx 300-400 miles a day. This is not set in stone but a rough guide of where im going. If you are still up for it let me know and how to contact you. Cheers, Ian

[mutty]

well just to let you know he's done it. Ian set off on sunday (due to a few last minute hitches!!) and is now in france heading in the direction of austria. Unfortunatly he has ended up going on his own but he can have his own lil adventure, as we speak he is spending the night in a campsite he found with his leathers for a pillow lol Am sure he will have many stories to tell when he gets back

[crazymotorbik...]

Hey,
I was really looking forward to going with him.

Unfortunatly the personnel witch wouldnt change my weeks off

Hope u have a good time mate,
Shaun.
