Bike on holiday?

[Trunecka]

How many of you take your bike(s) on holiday with you?

Where are the best/worst places you've taken your bike on holiday?

I've not taken a bike on holiday yet because i've spent most of my two riding years on a 2T trailbike with an unhealthy appetite for coolant, but each time I've gone without it I've suffered withdrawal symptoms - maybe I just ride too much??

Any hints on holiday riding for when i get my ER5 on the road (I probably wouldn't take it abroad.)

[Mr C]

simple

GO TO SCOTLAND






(pray for good weather)

Hmmm... live in Southampton, that's about 4-6 tankfuls of petrol to Scotland.

Are the roads any good up there, e.g. emptiness / surface quality / scenery / fun factor? Wouldn't mind some pics

Devon and Cornwall are beautiful by bike.

If you're in Southampton is it not just as easy for you to go abroad?

I am Scottish and can still appreciate what a beautiful country I live in, I would definitely say come up to Scotland on holiday, it's gorgeous, with lots of gorgeous lovely people!!!

Get the ferry over to France - the roads are well kept and so empty! Avoid the boring toll motorways and stick to the A roads. They're so much fun and the car drivers are so courteous, they'd rather run themselves off the road than get in your way.
Don't worry about the size of your bike either - me + the other half went to Le Mans a few years ago 2-up on his VFR400 and had a great time.
Go on, do it - you know it makes sense!!

[Fallen Angel]

I can't wait to do something like that!!!

Might help if I sit my test first mind you!!!

How about trying Wales and then a trip over to Eire. Haven't been to Ireland myself but a friend keeps telling me to get my @ss in gear and go as it's good roads and friendly people.

A friend of mine who has travelled a lot, has told me that the most beautiful countries he has been to are New Zealand, Scotland and Ireland, i think he is biased to other types of country though because notice that all three of these countries have the same type of countryside.

I lived in New Zealand for about two years and honest, when you're on the South Island you could easily swear you were in Scotland, they are two of the most beautiful countries out I reckon!! Would go back there in a second!

Even the North Island in New Zealand up in the Bay of Islands, looks like Scotland, only it has sun!

I shall be going over to France in a few weeks time, it should be a good giggle.

The ferry crossing will probably cost you as much as the petrol to get to Scotland.
