Might go to the peak district for a couple of days on my birthday, weather dependant. Something like the 6th June.
16th June I'm going away with a small group to Wales for 3 nights.
That's it so far. ____________________ || Past: 1991 Kawasaki ZXR 250 ~ 2003 Honda CBR 600 F Sport ~ 2004 Kawasaki ZX6R B1H 636 ~ 1999 Yamaha R1 ~ 1999 Kawasaki ZX6R J ~ 2004 Kawasaki ZX6R B1H 636 ~ 1998 Honda VTR1000F Firestorm ~ K1 GSXR 600 Track bike ~ K6 GSXR 1000 ~ 2006 Speed Triple 1050 || Current: 2005 R1 https://www.adrucore.co.uk |

I'll be updating this thread as I go, for those interested:
https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=316950
Currently hoping to add the Route des Grandes Alpes to it, at least, after a quick zap across the south of France. Unless the weather in central Europe turns to shite again, in which case I might stay in Spain for a bit longer instead. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

CMA National Rally in July. Taking the Beta, it's about 90 miles, so three short hops with coffee breaks. But, we will have a few acres of private woodland for dirt bikes.
Riding the Honda up to the Lake District in Sept staying in Eskdale for a week, do the usual mountain passes whilst I'm there. |

I have family just outside Brum so may go to see them and use it as a launch pad for spending a few days in Welsh Wales?
Or I might just throw a dart at the map and go where it lands on
I was thinking of taking the Chinese pos on a small tour just to see how it holds up to carrying luggage and how I get on sleeping under canvas again. ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

Thinking of a week or two tour around IoM followed by Ireland then back through Wales, still nothing concrete as I'm kitting the TDM for touring still at present but should be ready by August.
I really wanted to go to Spain but unfortunately nobody to go with and I don't fancy abroad solo yet . ____________________ Current: 02 FZS 1000 Some Bike Pics...

That's how I felt at first. Had a riding buddy lined up, then that didn't work out. Got another one in on it, then that didn't happen either. So I decided, sod it, if I don't go solo, at this rate, I'll never get to go at all, so I booked it anyway. In some ways, I'd rather be solo. I can stop when and where I want, as often as I want, without annoying anyone, it's easier to get chatting to people when you're alone, and I can alter my plans without argument. It's nice to have someone like-minded along sometimes to share the experiences with, but they can be a royal pain in the arse at times too. Especially when it's some random bloke off a bike forum you've only met 2 or 3 times before on organised ride outs, eh Neil?
In Europe, there's really nothing difficult about it. They want your money as much as anyone else, so they tend to make it easy for you. As long as you have the essentials sorted, like breakdown, insurance etc, it's not really any more difficult than doing it in the UK. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
