Did a European trip in 2016....did it again with a higher degree of confidence in 2017...so now I am absolutely hooked and my brain is never away from planning trips for the future.
If you have been abroad give us the low down to wet the appetite.

Ireland is worth a visit. Do all your European trips soon, before we have to get visas and other Brexit associated paperwork. :moto: :moto:

I might even tour Scotland.... :rofl: :moto:

Saw your pic's on FB, especially the ones of the cold, snowy mountain tops....... remember thinking "that can't have been fun"

Your enthusiasm for motorcycling is admirable...... wish I had an ounce of that.

Tiiimmmaaayyyy

It's addictive that's for sure. Finding amazing roads, with good weather is the best. All topped off with a nice beer or two on the evening.

It does sound appealing, as long as it's not hour after hour of motorway. And your pics did look great!

The textiles coped well...and those pictures were at the top of one pass...drop back down 500 feet and it was sunny and 15 degrees warmer.

Very little motorway to be fair. Mostly great B roads and some spectacular passes.

There is some nice bits in England. Heard the locals are a bit funny though.  ;)

When I got off the ferry from Italy/France the first thing I noticed was how crap and busy UK roads are.  I did 950 miles in one day and the last 120 were by far the worse!

They do seem to know how to lay tarmac properly in other countries that's for sure.

Greetings from the Italian Alps. Motorcycle touring is fantastic. End of.

Tomorrow's roads look even better than today's, and the weather even warmer.
