Hi All
I've been lurking here for a while but the suns out and I've just been for a blast! Looking forward to being more pro-active this year and meeting up with some of you folks. Off to Croatia and the Dalmatian coast in June anyone coming??

Paul, welcome along. Just time I see from the dates of your trip to get back from Croatia and then get yourself to the Cotswolds for the annual GTR meet.

 :185: PG ... the trip looks great, but you will be disappointed when compared to our Cotswold meeting  :laugh:
That looks a stunning ride .. have you used the company before ? Take a look at the BMW Bike Tours ... they too look to be excellent stuff, but alas at a price !
Enjoy the forum and don't forget to post your pictures when you get back ! :yes:

Paul, if you are serious about going to the Cotswolds meet, (and it would be great to meet up with you), get some accomodation booked. The venue itself is fully booked unless you want to camp, but I understand there are B & B's in the area as well as a Premier Inn.
