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.
I would love to hear how you get on. We're looking for alternative destinations for future Old Gits trips.

Wheels and Waves in Biarritz in June.
Riding to Geneva at the end of August, meeting some mates and riding down towards the med on the route Napoleon and some "balcony roads". R1 is just the bike for the job,

I've done a few of those roads, some a scary as the oncoming traffic literally give you bugger all road space, amazing places though, gorge du dalius is amazing, just of route napolean near castellane, we're down there in june

Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, Italy and Germany for me in June.

First ever euro trip, myself on the S1000r and a friend on his GS Adventure.

Praying for decent weather as it's rained each time i've visited in the past.

TT here too. Back end of Practice week and half of race week. :-)

Apart from that, not a lot. Lots of ride outs, few car and bike shows, maybe a bit of BSB, and the odd hill climb. :-)

3 day Castelloli track day with No Limits this weekend, Isle of Man TT for practice week & 'middle' weekend, couple of UK track days in July then out to Spa for a two-dayer mid August with BikersDays.

Need to book something late Summer / early Autumn. Might also go to Valencia for MotoGP then do the Monday to Wednesday straight afterwards at Cartagena with No Limits. Will try to organise / get interest of mates / herd some cats this weekend over beers.

Another TT-er here. Then a France trip in August/Sept by which time the Supersport S should be nicely run in.
Definitely test riding one of these - they look perfect for road use (after my mistake of toe-dipping into the 'adventure bike' world last year).

Heading to Istanbul later in the summer with my best mate from school, can't wait.

Provisional route.



Pencilling in 3 weeks but we're both pretty flexible so might take longer.

It includes the Transfagarasan highway which is the bit I'm most looking forward to.
