May I ask whereabouts in Yorkshire.

I'm planning an April trip to North Carolina to attend a BMW MOA event, then a trip in September into Nova Scotia.

All booked For hopefully 3 sunny weeks & great roads 8)

Going to do the NC500 in April. No Ferry or tunnel, no rip off Euro prices and brilliant scenery and roads.

Going to La Rochelle in France for a few days at the beginning of May    Ride down to Rouen Thur's and stop overnight before onward to La Rochelle for 3 nights, Then ride up to Berck on Monday for the night before travelling home Tue's. In June There's a few of us going to Dorset for our annual 'Jolly Boys' weekend Fri to Mon, That'll be on the H-D though  8)  July, Nothing planned yet? But there's talk of a long weekend doing the SWC 300. August is the RT weekend in Leicester (weather permitting lol) and usually a few of us (couples) go glamping or rent some log cabins somewhere for a long weekend. September? I've always fancied just setting off on the bike Fri morning for a few days on my own and going to France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy then back up through France then home, 2017 was looking good for it till the good lady had her accident and I became an equestrian servant, Maybe 2018 is the year? Here's hoping!!

Nova Scotia few years back. September, after kids back to school. Hardly any traffic. Am sure you know, but Cabot Trail on Cape Breton Island is a must. End of season though, I had rain every day. After did a clock wise tour of Nova Scotia, took the ferry from Digby to Saint John New Brunswick. Expect heavy winds as you enter Nova Scotia and the fog in Halifax. Enjoy your trip!
May see you in Fontana, if weather permits!

Early August - from our home on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, Canada (West Coast, on the mainland, north of Vancouver, BC) a buddy & I are heading down the Pacific Coast (Hwy 101) through Washington State & Oregon to Northern California, then east into the mountains & back up north through Oregon & Idaho.  We'll end up back in Canada in the Kootenays (south east BC),and then make our way home through the sunny Okanagan.

It'll be a bit of a whirl-wind trip, averaging around 400km of riding each day.  Mostly camping, but we'll hit a hotel every couple nights through the trip.  A grand total of just over 3600km in 8/9 days - for my first ever motorcycle trip!!!  Beyond excited...

Hoping to travel on the bike down to N Italy and across to Slovenia, up to Ljubljana and Lake Bled, and then back via Salzburg and Innsbruck to get the Autozug back to Düsseldorf and then back home!
