France is covered in "Aire de camping" sites which are all free. The ones on the autoroutes are nothing special, buy a guide and look up the ones in villages.
I rode south from Caen on the N roads, they're quiet and quick enough, way beter than the peage. Oradour is worth the trip but needs a good half day really, or the Loire chateaus if you like that kind of thing.
Why not take the night boat over with a cabin and use that instead of a hotel this side?

 I did the banking on a Rocket 3  8) the high part gets covered in debris & bits of rubber. The downhill into Fuchsrohre was my favourite.

That's where me and Meldrum jumped the fence & had a walk up the track  8) got some souveniers, every corner has enormous strips of melted rubber stuck all over the place, peeled a couple off. Found them in my jacket pocket not so long ago.

Nurburgring, glad I went but wouldn't go again, it got very expensive by the end of the week, 4 lap ticket was 80 euros 5 years ago. And the restaurant there is shit, crap food and rude staff. Nurburg's a ghost town by 9.00pm, stay in Adenau if you're going, I'd be tempted to camp next time. Actually I'd be tempted to head to southern France where the roads are amazing and free. D999 anyone?

At first thought it sounds interesting but I reckon the weather could be shitty and your going to end up eating reindeer sausages at some point. And Sweden reminds me of being dragged round Ikea  :o  Head south to Spain or France  8)

Hmm I wonder if Dovi's going to be the dark horse, what with new owners at Ducati and a management reshuffle..... But what a story it would be if Vale could do it..... one more title?

I hate chains, chain adjusting, chain oiling, the oil flinging off, scottoilers etc etc etc. If there are any disadvantages to a shaft drive then they dont bother me........  8)
