Who’s going abroad this year

[Andybow]

Seeing as I’m piss bored of this weather, Started looking at photos of various trips we’ve done over the years and dreaming of dry warm roads in sunnier places, We are off to Spain and Portugal again this year, picos and austurious own to the Douro Valley
Got a fine trio of bikes to go on this year, we’ve got a sdr1290, tuono rr and mt10, perfect sport touring bikes!, we are really roughing it by staying in some lovely Paradors.

A week with two mates camping on the way to visit another mutual mate in zurich. A 2005 bmw gs, 1999 R1 and a harley 1200 of some sort. The chances of side of the road maintenance shenanigans is very high

Riding to nurburgring from Essex 21st and 22nd. Similar bikes to your lot plus a gsxs1000 and a multistrada pikes peak

Ride all over Europe for 9 days mid June... That be a 4000 mile ride with spa, some racing and potentially nurburgring thrown in

I'm getting to the age where I think I need to do these things sooner rather than later .. and a Month off request has been agreed so won't need to do silly miles .. So I'm taking the Africa twin DCT to many places I've never been before

[cmaguire]

On the cusp of committing to an escorted holiday in Corsica/Sardinia with a mate. He has a Street Triple so we'll be on similar bikes unlike last time, which I think makes it better. We like the escorted idea because, although we'll no doubt ride without any of the others, the idea of hotel and dinner already sorted is a winner.

Me

Heading out on Friday with a few others for a weekend of off-roading through Transylvania

Sooooo looking forward to this, one for the laugh and two, to clear my head of lots of shyte. I hope there’s not too much boiled cabbage

Amen to that, be interested how you get on with the AT, a month off sounds amazing doing that route
