I really enjoyed reading this especially as I met you all at Hex's party, and I recently did a big trip for me to aberystwth (4 hours there and 3 hours back).

How many miles or kms were you doing a day ? How many hours a day were you riding ?

Did you ever wish you were on tourers like a deauville rather than sports 400s ? I guess a tourer wdnt have been so much fun around the nurburgring Smile

Sounds like you had a really good time, glad you enjoyed it.

Couple of comments!

1 - You look so much better with your new haircut Maurice! Thumbs Up

2 - Why does Mike always look so tall in photos? I'm sure he hasn't been on the occasions I've met him. Or maybe he was veering towards the horizontal then? Razz

Superb story Maurice. Me feels envious now. I'm interested i how much was spent in total for the whole trip. It's always been an ambition of mine to do Europe by bike. I was wondering why Claud hasn't made a post for a while!
