touring,crazy idea

[red98]

yes same here pitternator,would`nt be able to do this as unfair on swmbo to fly alone with kids,swmbo likes to spend time with parents and loves malta,nothing there for me so hiring a bike when iam there is not an option,roads are worse than bad    aswell....
 
 would be better going with a small group but as you say there will be some arguments.and i am kinda fixed in my destination and also would be good to spend time with the kids
 
 not looked at ferry crossings yet from italy to malta,as polarbear has said this my well be an end to the idea
 i do like the idea of the motorail,means i can skip france and spend more time in italy,the whole reason for the trip 
 
will have to get a move on as swmbo is keen to book

Does anyone know if there is a similar service in Germany. I'm hoping to go down to Munich sometime this year and so far it seems cheaper and easier to fly down and hire a 600 than ride? I would prefer to take my bike if rail was an easy option?

There is from Dusseldorf - see the first of those two links above for a map.

Maybe this year, given that we appear to have more 'active' members (and it's only February!)?

I'm trying to drum up interest in the Madone des Motards event in August. Time allowing, I might organise a week of riding in Brittany as well, if anyone is interested?
