Adventure Bike Rider

24 hours, bikes flying out to toronto today. We follow tomorrow for the start of a 3 moth adventure.

12 hours and counting

cant wait, 5 days to go black sea trips on . train out 2.30 sat morning .

A year and three weeks for my next trip away... missed out on this years Europe trip due to managing to have an un-bike related accident and fecking up my clutch hand

3 weeks and Im off to the Isle of Man for 2 weeks then onto Yorkshire and back to Devon. 3 of my leave in one go so I cant wait!

Just finished a full service on the GS.

Less than two weeks, then catch the ferry to Bilbao.

Within a week or two, I will be flying back to the USA for a month or more.
Having no proper work here, I put out 240 CV;s in 12 months, had two interviews, and worked on an off doing anything.
Today I got confirmation of a months trial in Texas USA (Stonecoat.com)all expenses paid, doing what I did over here.
Result.
Not taking my bike though, and thats a wrench.
Not taking my wife though, and thats a wench.
So if I am suddenly quiet on here.................thats why.

Same train I suspect except we catch a ferry from Harwich on the 28th get off the train at alessandria and ride up to the dolomites and on to crotia...........who knows we may even bump into each other

Well this Friday morning I leave Towcester, meet up with my brother and a couple of mates at Oxford to head of for a long weekend in France and Belgium. It will be the furthest I have travelled on my bike and the first time I have been abroad for 14 years. Excited and nervous, yes, but at least the others have done this trip a few times. Biggest worry? The kids play up and wind the missus up making it more difficult to get away on the bike. Watch out for report next week!

Sounds a blast. you will love it over the channel. Just remember that roundabouts are done the other way round and the traffic lights are odd. Get used to scanning the right side of your road to see signs and lights etc, sounds odd but your head is used to looking on the left..... Its worst when you get back and you relax a bit. Days later you will wonder what side of the road you are supposed to be on.
Ride safe.................

Cheers. The other guys have assured me that thee is a lot less traffic over there. Should be nice after battling with British MWays!
