Congratulations Mr&Mrs MJ :laugh: (get the PW50 on order)
Things have changed, fingers crossed will be able to do all of the ATRC on the 640.
Have a two week shut down in August so looking at a possible tour of Ireland
If the proposed weekend shift ever evolves (fri-sun) then it'll give me more time for a few days away and a couple of trips down to Poole bike night
"The trails of the world be countless, and most of the trails be tried.
You tread on the heels of many, till you come where the ways divide.
And one lies safe in the sunlight, and the other is dreary and wan, Yet you look aslant at the Lone Trail, and the Lone Trail lures you on....
....Bid good-bye to sweetheart, bid goodbye to friend, The Lone Trail, the Lone Trail, follow to the end.
Tarry not, and fear not, chosen of the true;
Lover of the Lone Trail, The Lone Trail waits for you"
Just about to set of to Overijssel in the northeastern part of the Netherlands for The International BMW GS Easter Meeting 2013, then heading of to Spain Portugal and if time permites Italy.
Plus as many ABR rallies as i can.
Isle of Man for a long weekend in late April, MAG into the valley rally the weekend after, Ireland ABR rally the weekend after that one, a very busy 3 weeks. Late June a 9 day trip to Austria/Italy alps with 10 mates, then early Sept another 9 day Germany/Swiss alps tour with the girlfriend. And a few weekend of camping thrown in between all this, that arn't even thought of yet. :laugh:
I'll be starting off with a trip to France over the early May bank holiday weekend then it all gets a bit hectic:
Oschersleben 29/30 June for a weekend of classic racing.
Home for a few days then off to the Stella followed by 2 days at Lake Como, 2 days in the Black Forest, 1 day somewhere near Verdun then 3 days at Chimay for another weekend of classic racing.
We're off for yet more classics at Gedinne over the August bank holiday weekend and I'm toying with the idea of going to the classic Bol D'or at Magny Cour in the middle of September.
Somewhere amongst that lot I want to squeeze in a few enduros then do the Hafren and the Cambrian rallies.
I can't be bothered with circuit racing in the UK these days because everything about a UK race meeting is a rip off compared to paying under £20 for a full weekend (including camping) in Belgium. They don't give your wallet a hammering when you buy beers and at Chimay the organisers supply wood for fires which is something you'd never get at Donington.
Whitsun week, nip across to Spain on ferry, meet up with the wife and kids in Barcelona for a couple of days, then over the pyranees, turn right at the cross roads to monaco then straight up through France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. Nip back across the channel just in time for tea and scones...hopefully
