Yip. Stelvio pass via the Nurburgring (again). Also a visit to my good friend in Bagni di Lucca and a stop off in Austria and lunch at lake Di Garda. I'm pretty sure Amsterdam will find its way in there too. It has a habit of doing that... ;)
-
Yep,, Austria in June for a week, then probably a week exploring on the slow way back
-
Chech republic, Moto GP Brno, 4 of us later in the year,may stop at Colditz Castle because we are tourists :)
-
Pay the extra for the extended tour of Colditz its well worth it , Stalag Luft 3 ( Great Escape ) is about the same distance the other side of Dresden too
From Colditz heading west go through the Harz mountains then drop down to the Dambusters dams
Also if youre coming up from Brno stop by at Kutna Hora for a look at the Church Of Bones
Well you did say youre tourists :lol we did all that last year and it was a blast
-
I do a tour of the Alps every 2 years (on the 'blade not the FZ6!) and it's due this year so can't wait. Usually go end May but may be going later on this year (Aug/Sept) due to one of my mates moving house. The usual route is Newcastle - Amsterdam - Germany (300kph on the Autobahn which is mental!) - Switzerland (Furkha/Grimselpass etc) - Italy (Lakes/Stelvio etc) - Austria (Gross Glockner) - Nurburgring (tactical move to go on the way back just in case....!).

Aye young lad, reminds me of the time I was at Colditz Castle many years ago.

As mentioned earlier, Mohne and Eder Dam are worth a visit also. Especially the Eder, imagining them fly over the hill by the castle in the dark, swoop down to 60 feet, then missing the hill after the dam. Riding away after following the river downstream also brought it home what it must have been like for the locals.
ps I think you can stay overnight at Colditz now. When I was there they were 1/2 way through doing it up and restoring it.

Just the booked the ferry from Barcelona to Palma so off to Mallorca in July via my sisters place in Chigney France. My first tour just hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew... :o

Shame we're not all going at same time. Even if not riding the same route could have a target place and time........
Could be a real Meet the foccers ;)

Germany in July for two weeks with my brother. Me on the thou and him on his 1200RT :)
Don't know where yet though.

1000 and a 1200 such luxury. Clearly the 600's are the hard foccers :) especially the Red600's :D

Isn't there a Fazer International meet in the Eifel area of Germany each July where some of say we will go, but nobody actually does.
There is a thread on the meets/rideouts board.
This one http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,2648.0.html (http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,2648.0.html)
If there is one for 2014 I'll be interested.
