What plans/ideas.....

[Icefever]

.......do you guys have for your next foreign trip abroad???.

When we had a ride out last Sunday, over a cuppa we talked about the trips that we had just been on.  Rob & Pete both talked about possible trips for next year....what's on your mind now for 2018??

Charlie and I may cross the Alps to northern lakes in Italy.

Five of us from Northern Ireland are going to Northern France next September

Good question ice. Maybe a run down to my mate's house in the south of France, or maybe a few of my workmates and I may finally buy some chicken chasers and have a run to Wales or Scotland.

The Pont de Milau is awesome,  we went over it on our way down to Narbonne about 3 years back.

Done some of the planning but still working on;-

(If/when contract is renewed for next year other wise it's Skeggy!)

Did a similar trip in 2012 going south to north in Norway then back thro Sweden but we did it in 2 weeks (on a Guzzi Stelvio) and to be honest I was knackered when I got back so we're spreading this out a bit, the only long ride is from Helsinki to Oulu but as we'll have been on the Baltic ferry for the whole of the previous day it should be ok.

Corsica next year.

Been on my "biking" bucket list for a while now, and recommended by numerous other bikers.

Ferry from France is cheap as chips (relative to what we get charged to get to France or Spain) and if you give it even just a quick glance on Google maps, it certainly looks like biker heaven.

Cheers

Just back from 2,579 mile round trip to Croatia. Maybe Italy next year and take in a WSB round, possibly Imola.

Hopefully western Scotland, Applecross, Torridon etc

August next year ferries and hotels all booked. Just a waiting game now

Day 1 Home to Hull Ferry
Day 2 Zeebrugge to Bastogne, Belgium.
Day 3 Bastogne area sightseeing and museums.
Day 4 Bastogne to Mosel Valley, Cochem, Germany
Day 5 Mosel Valley sightseeing and wine tasting hopefully.
Day 6 Cochem via the Eder Dam to Bad Grund in the Harz Mountains, I go every year, love the hotel and the area is fantastic for bikes.
Day 7 to Day 16 enjoying the Harz Mountains.
Day 17 Bad Grund to Ijmuiden for the ferry home.

I usually clock up 2500 to 3500 miles over the holiday. Depending where we venture out too. Have been known to cover 500 plus miles on odd days out.

Went to the Harz for the first time this year for the Suzuki SV meet, really lovely must get back and spend more time there. Preferably on a more comfy bike!

My old work team are back to The Picos next June but I have no bike at the moment AND I shall be in the U.S so that sort of counts me out  ... but the year after I think they are looking to finish Spain and or start Italy. I have permission for an extended 3 weaker up to Nordkapp with a chap from work who is of RTW experience so to him it is no more than "a wee trip" ! keep you updated.

No big trips planned, but a long camping weekend in Somerset in May, A short tour of Normandy in June and a short tour of ireland in July, all with Club-Kawasaki members

[Tregosy]

Route 66, as much as is possible, Chicago to Santa Monica Pier on rented HD's! The rental company doesn't do GTR's!!
