Book me a double room John please for me & Rosemary. 
I'll send the booking form &  deposit in the post asap.
Been thinking of joining you for some time.
We'll see you in Scotland  in August but we've booked our own hotel as the tour was full.

Brave lad.  I know it well.

Yes, it's on the list David. Did it a few years ago in the car. Beautiful part of the world.

We found the roads in Killarny smelly & full of horse sh1t from all the horsedrawn carriges.

The "Ring of Kerry" was full of tourist coaches, some much nicer quieter places to go.

Exmoor in February.
Norfolk in April.
Eiffel mountains in May/June
Tewkesbury OR Utah in July


No other plans yet...

Exmoor in FEBUARY!  Do you own a 4 x 4.

Well at least you know it won't leak  8)

Assen Moto GP, Cologne. Luxembourg, Belgium in June. September - Extremadura.

The west coast of Scotland up to the highlands, Wales and anywhere in between and down south that I haven't been to.
I've spent years touring the UK and still keep finding little gems that I missed. 

Took some friends around Normandy in June this year, so our plan is to go to Luxembourg in June 2017 with our usual overnight stops in Ypres out and back.


Went there in 2008 with another group, and when I took these friends to Vianden whilst touring Belgium in 2013 they wanted to go back to stay.

2 weeks in June, South of France and the Alps. Might try the Motorail/Autotrain service to save some mileage and saddle time. Hotels and possibly some camping(yet to be cleared by herself)
10 days in Sept/Oct Northern Spain, Pyrenees, possibly down to Madrid.

My parents live on the southern edge of the Sierra Nevada mountains in Spain. For the past few years I have kept talking about taking a couple of weeks off in the summer to ride down to them via France, do some touring using their house as a base, and then back home again.


As I will have the RT under me this year rather than the GS I reckon this is the year I am definitely going for it.

For me it is another Spain trip, this time we will go North to the Picos and Pyrenees, half our usual group are going to Morocco, I went there in 2011, very nice but I have an RT not a GS now. Although the roads are really good so an RT would suffice. I do like all the toys and luxury that the RT has.

Planning a 10 day trip in July from Cochrane, Alberta to Zion National Park in Utah. Make a quick run to the Grand Canyon in Northern Arizona and then home stopping through Yellowstone and Glacier National Park. Should be awesome!  I took my Triumph Bonneville to California last summer so looking forward to a trip in comfort! Cant wait. Love the RT!!
