Hey as owner of new europe map  why not bite the bullet and join Nick and me.   
That is if Nick doesn't mind ;)

You said you were getting a satnav, put your route in the machine then tell it to avoid motorways.

I use Formule 1 hotels in France at about €35 per night and join the dots from hotel to hotel.

Me and Midden are going on 12th or 13th July for 3 weeks, mostly camping; Ardennes then Alps - anyone welcome along. I'm going for the riding and scenery, Mids has arranged to meet a goat called Heidi in Switzerland  :lol
I'm wondering if the Euro Fazermeet will coincide; we're planning a visit to the 'ring on the way back, you never know.

No Midden, that's NURBURGRING!!!!!!  :lol

For some reason, I thought it would be a good idea to try and amputate my thumb with a drill and a piece of aluminium!

After the blood had stopped pouring, and the swelling had gone down...

The photo doesn't do it justice. The pice of ally spun round at speed, and hit my thumb at 45 degrees. It's really quite deep, bled like stink, and now throbs like a motherfucker!

rebuilt the front end of my KMX200 after the left front fork seal sprang a leak and covered my disc with oil, fortunatley was green laning at the time so didn't need the frt brake too much.
 
Nick, Red pity you're going a week earlier than me, I'm off to Malta for my middle duaghters wedding and riding down and back, leaving the uk on the 23rd July getting to Malta on the 29th (via Sicily) and planning on getting home on 9/10th August.
 
Christo, think that for your own safety we'd better keep you away from anything that is powered  :lol
