....ah you only hear the bad stuff here because 90% of forum activity relates to problems and problem solving. I have been blessed with wonderful experiences on my bike too. It gave me the oppurtunity to explore in full such wonderful places abroad on my bike.
It started with my first trip abroad to The Highlands Scotland in 2000 and I got the bug after that. I haven't drank or smoked in donkeys years, so I manage to put that money towards a decent holiday each year and treat myself. This included trips to Cornwall, England, The Pyrenees, St. Tropez, Canne, Drive the famous streets of Monte Carlo in Monaco, Black Forests of Germany, Northern Italy, Switzerland, Austria, a visit to my sister who lived near Alicante in Spain, Nostalgic visit across Normandy, the beautiful coast of Brittany....and not to mention some of the lovely sights on my own Island.
This year I'm going to try to get to the Giant's Causeway and go for a little putt all along that coast up there for a week. That was the plan last year but wasn't fulfilled when I crashed a month before my holidays and I was laid up for 3 months.
