I hope to make it from J14 M6 if I can get time off. Looks like the German G2G is going to be too long for me so I may as well do this one. Should know on Monday when I go back to work. I hope to use the tunnel as I dont like ferries.

I'm thinking about it Dave, but I haven't mentioned it to Mrs Matlock, so not definate yet [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hide.gif[/img] . If I do go I'll be making my own way home and spending a few days at my Dad's place on the west coast, south of Nante. I suspect Ivan & Pete are up for it - what do you say guys?

my girly wants to join in for the MT and RTT (it would be useful as she speaks fluent german and pretty good french/italian etc)
but i aint havin a pillion plus camping gear for 2 weeks, it really messes up the handling
so guessin it may cost me a DAS course.....and probably another bike [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img]
hmmmm [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doubtfull.gif[/img] maybe i should start lookin for a bigger bike for her....if its sat on her driveway blocking her 125in it may persuade her
Rtt 09 - Guest - 01-12-2008

well i may have just acquired another one [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hidden.gif[/img] but its a bit big for her [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/evillaff.gif[/img]
she wants a 400-500 to start with
thinkin either bandit 400 or a GS500
both easy to work on and lots of parts available

I always liked the Honda CB500 - virtually trouble free, runs like a sensible bike up to 9K then goes a bit mental for a 500, handles well, easy to maintain and it's a twin!
