Excellent stuff nick. Touring Europe isn't cheap, what with the price of fuel etc. but if your a biker, the experience and memories mean far more than money. Places like the pyranees, Swiss and French alps etc have to be done to be believed. And the lack of traffic is unlike anything you will find in blighty. I've been hooked since my first foray on a '88 zx10 to the bol dor back in the early nineties. All the stuff you read about foreign coppers nicking you and fining you gazillions of euros on the spot for speeding won't be a worry once your off the motorways, which I avoid like the plague anyway coz there boring and have tolls. I know you already really appreciate your bike already, once you've done Europe you will be even closer to it, just like all relationships I guess, the more you go through together, the more you bond
