Get own the boat! Ye'll no have tae go tae engerland ( Geordie land isnae engerland)

Instead of hacking doon the shitie motorways ye can sit having a civilised meal on the boat and a wee drink and end up n Holland instead of Frunce. The wine isnae as good in Holland but the Dutch do better beer and yer closer to Norway.

When one is ridin in ye pishing rain on t motorway it will be goin roon n roon in ma heid (like ane o thon crap loop pop songs ) a should hae listened tae wully a should hae listened tae wully a should hae listened tae wully

Italy via France, Germany, Austria & Switzerland. Specifically I'm heading for the Stella as a pal's planning to have his wedding party down there . . . .or should that be "up" there.
Only fly in the ointment is the fact the Boss is planning to take up the space on the back seat where I normally keep my food pack up
Just gotta work out how to carry all her "essentials" and my two pairs of socks n shreddies and the tent!

Well after this years dismall performance which consisted of 1 afternoon out and a weekend in Campbelltown (brilliant wee place) I'm pushing the boat out next year. Off to Bolivia in May, (Renting bikes for 2 weeks in La Paz) and doing a mainly off tarmac route. In the summer plan to take in the Western Isles on my VanVan with my lad on his VanVan (That may change depending on midgie population) and then in September down to SE France and maybe even the Route Des Grande Alps...

May also throw in a couple of sessions clowning around with the lads over a few bottles of Jaeger

The big 'R' Grizz - you?

Just back from a wee birl round the doors. First ride since fitting the new needle rollers and altering the steering (re-Den,
looks nice but steering light and very very slightly vague. , think i'll drop the head next time the tanks off)
I intend next year to spend as much time north and north west as I can next year and doon aroon Mr Hadrians wa', love that area.

Having been Monsoon-ed off in the middle of Sweden 2011, trying to get up to Nordkap late June. I'm off to Morocco in March!

 

[Voyager]

Me i am hoping to scratch the Nordkapp itch in june 2013
On the cheap (ish as possible) so its camping all the way.

Hmmmmm . . I too have the "Nordcapp Itch", and a tent and I've been to Norway, Sweden & Denmark on the bike before and I enjoy long rides (8,600 miles in 26 days circumnavigating Turkey in 2010) . . .

I'll need to think about that. 2012 has been a disaster for me bike-wise, I must do something interesting in 2013.
