Great post to see what others are up to and maybe get inspired to do more trips 1) January - 2 wks Thailand Golden Triangle on with mates to celebrate a 60th 2) Scotland - West coast date TBC April? 3) Spain/Portugal - Needs to be planned, May? 4) IOM Classic TT 5) Something off-road?
Hang on I haven't finished this year yet... Just booked Santander ferry for next Sunday, heading for Portugal via the Picos, away for 11 days. Will decide what I'm doing next year over the winter but likely to include a Roscoff to Le Havre long weekend. Girlfriend's Grandfather is in an Operation Overlord war grave out there and she's never visited it.
I am gonna try and convince madam to come to Croatia for her 33rd at the end of April. Plan to drive from here (Geneva effectively) to Split via Ancona in the T5 with the newly acquired (but still not collected) Hypermotard on board, then take the boat over to Brač and spend a week tooling around the island. I did it in 2016 with my ex and it was an absolute blast. Then drive back home via Slovenia, stopping and using the bike when the mood takes. May will see a trip to Mugello, hopefully camping, again with the T5 and the Hypermotard. Later in the year T5 to Gdansk where it will be staying for a week or so for repainting, boat to Stockholm, riding to Helsinki and then boat to hers in St. Petersburg. All, some, or none of the above may happen!
I assume your won’t tell your current squeeze that you’ve already done this, as I can guarantee that if you do it will go down like a cup of cold sick.
Ha ha ha ha, I certainly won’t but she’s pretty smart so she’ll catch on quick enough when she twigs how surprisingly well I know the island!
I’m going Madrid then near Valencia next week then Milan and Rome (possibly I’ll know today about Rome as if not Rome I’ll be frantically searching for work) then it’s Slovenia to see folks and collect my kl 250 I left in Slovenia last week I was riding it around last week loved it even had Debbie on the back yes I was actually riding a motorcycle not just talking about them I knew Slovenia was perfect place for quiet riding. Sorry not next years plans but for me having half a plan no matter when is miraculous
White 1260 Multistrada, see you on the quayside or on-board (will try to remember to wear one of these for ID purposes)
Jerez MotoGP (fly drive) Mugello MotoGP (fly drive) Austrian MotoGP on the Multistrada with Mrs Tyke, via Germany to Murau, then after the MotoGP on to Innsbruck via the Grossglockner...Grindelwald for a couple of nights, see if the Multi can get up the Eiger!! Then back home through France to Rotterdam.
I’ve got Portimao booked for April and the NC500 annual trip booked for August. I’ve got a week or so free the first week in October and really want to go to Romania for the transfagarasan and transalpina but need to find someone that’s wanting to do it with me
Only got the Manx planned for 2020 the accommodation is booked Would like to have a look around the Mossel Valley
50/50 between going to Mugello or WDW with some like minded women (for a change), we will be on a bunch of different Ducatis, and figuring out a light touch road trip without overly planned routes, and nice places to hang out for a few days will probably get figured out between now and March. Getting the right group of people together is probably more important than route planning, as there's nothing worse than being stuck on the road with an absolute a**e with a dreadful attitude.
