Who's going where this summer?

[Andybow]

just reading the last few threads, There's a lot of anger and moaning from lots of people,
So on a lighter note who's doing what and going where on there bikes this summer?
I'm off in a few weeks riding through France again and cannot wait!

[R1 Dave]

IOM TT for the whole of race week. Not been before, always wanted to go, cannot wait!

[Birky_41]

Nurburgring this weekend

IOM on race week

Lots of track days and road rides but otherwise thats it for me

[Andybow]

Love the iom for TT week, Lucky gits !!
Where you both staying?

[MrGman]

Another IOM TT race week here

Brands GP end of june (along with a few more TDs hopefully)

Ring in august but in a car

Also trying to think of somewhere else to go but undecided yet, keep thinking scotland or i'd love to do italy as i've only ever been into the far north of italy, what holds me back on that though is the distance involved just getting there!

Still, not a bad year planned so far

No idea! A mate goes every year and he's sorted out a cottage for 4 or 5 of us to crash in, £1000 for the week split between us.

Ive booked 3 weeks bike road trip across USA next month, and then the Cannonball bike run in June to IOM then NC500, plus the usual weekend stuff. So many thousands of bike miles to ride over the next couple of months

I same, last year was right by the seafront but mates were literally by the bridge at Ramsey. We did a hotel they did the house share

Needless to say after seeing the price difference were doing the house thing this year too

Another TT-er here. Then a France trip in August/Sept by which time the Supersport S should be nicely run in.

Yep...theres actually a couple of "cannonball" themed bike events; an endurance event in the USA on old bikes http://motorcyclecannonball.com/

And in Europe for >10 years they have the Cannonball bike run. I did it last in 2014 around Spain, finishing in Pamplona for bull running. Its kind of like a semi organised touring holiday with different nice hotel each night and plenty of people to drink with. 35-50 bikes at the start and you get each days route during breakfast and off you go ....at your own pace naturally

Just for a change our little group Is riding into Eastern Europe this year. We're all meeting in Hanover then onto Berlin for a few days. Then it's into Poland and from there we're going to wing it. Can't wait.

We've done home stay a couple of times, can highly recommend, easily beats going to a hotel

That's a bit of a change to the norm! Always fancied going over to Poland etc, next year we may go down to Croatia

The Old Gits (all 27 of us this year - including a few who are regulars on here) are off down to Provence in early June for a week of blasting around some of the best roads in the world. I would say I'm counting the days but I'm almost at counting the minutes!
