Gents, Thought i would throw it out there, I am leaving from Hull to Zeebrugge on Sunday 6th September at 18:30. When I get to Belgium I have 2 days to get to my pals house who lives near Annecy (600miles) - may do it in 1 depending how I feel. Rest day in Annecy by the lake - then a 4 day tour to south of France and the alps with my mate and some of his French forum buddies. So far there is 6 of us, 4 lads and 2 girls - all good riders on a mix of bikes - buell 1125, a BMW K13S, a RSV1000, TL1000S, GS1200 and me on the Multi. Age group of the bunch is late 30s to late 40s I realise im new to the forum, but if anyone is fancying a week or so off work, away on some of the finest roads in Europe - drop me a note for a chat.

Annecy D5 to thorin gleres, right there d55 up moontin and somehow link to le grand bournand D4 to cluses. Then D902 knee down to Thonon les bains. Return. Repeat.
Wish I could get a pass at such short notice to do this, but there is no way that's happening. Next year I am determined to do something like this. Have a good trip!
Well Saturday is the big depart... Hull to Zeebrugge Ride through Belgium to Luxemburg City for lunch.. chill a few hours, people watch Luxemburg to Nancy in France for a kip.. Next morning Nancy to Annecy lake, meet up with the french crew.. rest day Annecy depart on 3 day Mt Blanc (up and over) - end up in Monaco day rest in Monaco.. Monaco to Annecy on some amazing south french roads (so im told).. Annecy to North France, sleep back to Belgium, ferry to Hull.. Home.. Bike is now on 1321 miles, i expect this shall rise somewhat by the time i return!.. cant wait... So far the bike is great - had to adjust the gear shift a little as my new touring boots are clearly thicker than my previous sport book and made shifting a challenge, so all set.... YIPPPPPEEEEEEE (not excited, at all...)
