Three 400's, 6 Countries....

[Claud 14.7 to 1]

lmao quality pics guys.

Was a right laugh trip was. Nice to see these two were so open-minded as well with all the countries and all. Never forget Maurice's phrase books, quality.

(I was wondering where this thread was lurking. Thread turnover is mega fast these days on BCF)

Great, recommend touring to anyone. Woohoo, roll on next Summer.

EDIT see someone's changed my avatar.

Good write up too, thank you

Claud had massive panniers on his bike, brushed them on a cars front wing as he overtook. From my view behind, it went like this:-

Superb post, sounds like a real adventure. One day...

[priller]

Top read, how many miles did you do?

[McGee]

One day it has to be done rookie.

And top read.

[EuropeanNC30R...]

Cheers I forgot to take a clock reading before we left, doh. I believe it was in the region of 3000 miles, not including the mileage in Britain.

[-Ali-]

just reading your first trip and would like to say that i went to gap this summer, has amazing trials motorbiking around it. bit of an off topic post

[EuropeanNC30R...]

A fair distance to go for trials, did you take a bike down in a van or hire one down there?

[quacker_boy]

awesome stuff maurice sounds like you guys had a total blast, me and my dad will be riding around the world in two years time i think on BMWF650s

[-Ali-]

maurice i travelled with my parents in their motorhome so we just stuck it inside. Its one of these big americian ones

[greatmoorred]

thanks mate.

[SimonB]

That is a brilliant write up it has inspired me to do something similar although on a smaller scale.

Well done

[Jman]

that trip sounds totally rad! i'm definatly going to be doing a trip like that one day. its good to hear you guys got around safely and had fun.

anybody interested in touring should check out the latest (MAR '06) issue of bike magazine, theres a free mag with it with loads of useful info and places to visit in each continent around the world, also things to avoid...

[anders]

Good write up, thank you glad you enjoyed it!

I did sort of notice they looked like nobs after I drew it, thanks for pointing it out though

[crm250]

Leaving for spain in the 13th of may, cant wait. not quite as extreme as your trip but last year managed 2600 miles in the week on the 916 (before the rectifier melted in true ducati style)
Am going to tempt fate by using the 916 again, just sold one of the NC's so its the duke or the RC
Duke every time

[colin1]

happy melting
