Consider my envy registered.

I love the Mosel and have been there many times. The Hartz Mountains I have only visited once, but it was one of the memorable parts of the tour for riding and I will go back.

You're going to have a great time - stay safe.

Pete.

Had a great time, 3275 miles covered, mostly nice hot and dry roads. Very impressed with the capability of the Michelin Pilot Power 3 tyres. Fitted new a couple of weeks before our trip and have now covered 4820 miles, still 2+mm of tread remaining, no squaring off on the centre, have worn off evenly and the grip is awesome, they carry the weight of the bike very well with no uneven wear on the front tyre which I have experienced on a lot of other brands when fitted to heavier bikes.

Booked for next May and July already, how long is it until next MAY??? :sad:
