Recently the old ball an chain has been moaning at me about me always going on bike adventures abroad and that we never go away.

Which is about right, i cant think of anything worse than sitting on a beach for a week, a day tops.
So anyway, i deceided to take the TT round europe.
took me a while to perswade her to drive to the Nurburgring, but i managed it. Very Happy

Looks awesome mate, well done! I've always wanted to do a trip of Europe i a nice car/bike...I reckon I'd head down to southern France maybe Monaco or something and then over the alps to Italy...then back over to Germany/Netherlands Very Happy

Can't believe this hasn't had any replies, how did you find driving on the left? and did you camp or stay at b&b type places?

Looks cool, how many days did you go for? Cause that's a fairly long list of places.

driving on the right is easy, somehow i kinda prefer it, only annoying thing is overtaking.

Went for 6 days, which is alot less than i had orginally planned, so ended up doing a bit too much driving to stay on schedule.

not alot of pics as my phone did die

Still think i prefer touring on a sports bike though, the alps are more fun and you just get the bigger sense of adventure, but thats not to say it wasnt very enjoyable.

Cool Wave!

I know what you mean about driving on the right, it seemed better for me too.

I got back from a trip to Northern Spain a few weeks ago, took best part of a day to get from Manchester to Santander. Most of that time was 17 hours from Calais to Santander.

Petrol in France is a piss take, I'm sure you noticed! Was €1.27 when I was there in April.
Tolls were expensive too but the roads were good.

Did you really participate in this apparent sequence of events?

I avioded all toll roads from calais, they are expensive and boring, plus you get to see the country for real.

You are quite right, and i used to have a good one at that, but it got ruined when i took it out on a peddlo and a giant wave engulfed it.

Im too cheap to buy a new one aswell.
