Hi There
Does anyone know of any European trips happening towards the end of May this year or end of June? Looking at 5 or 6 days.
Cheers
Stuart

That's would be good although I could not go till 28th or any time that week after, the last time I went to Baden Baden we got the 6.30am Eurotunnel and managed to get there in a day - its quite a slap but worth it :)
That's a shame as would definitely been up for that, thanks anyway

Cheers
Stuart

Just a day out then.  We don't get to the hotel until the 27th.  The return trip we intend to do in one hop but a few will linger a bit.  As you say a good slog but no problem.

Is this Falcon Motorcycle Tour of any interest to you, http://www.motorcycle-sport-touring.com ... -tour.html

You may notice someone 2 up on an RT in the video.

You might be better off changing the date of the title to get more interest in this thread ... It's now 2017

If you do end up doing it, give me a shout, I may consider it myself, did it in 2013.

A view on the route between Ballina & Clifden.

The "Sky Road" (near Clifden), was worth riding for this view.

We used the ferry to cross the River Shannon between Killimer & Tarbet, it saved us riding an additional 20 miles on motorway.

It was, are you looking for a "guided" or "self guided" tour, the Ireland Tour is "self guided".
