Might take you up on your offer then you would surprised 
Started a new job just over 12 months ago, the previous place there were a few lads with adventure bikes, me been a sports bike nob I didn’t go with them, they did Croatia, stunning ride, places and pictures etc. They did France and Belgium and the war stuff too, missed out on a couple of real life experiences there if I’m honest. I love my bike and bikes but like I say, if I get another next year it will be something along the lines of a sport tourer, just need to find one that I really like that’s all

The 500 goes through the Highlands, we did sky via the ferry as well. May go back again same time next year.
Looking at Istanbul in may via tunnel down to Ancona night ferry to split. Back up through Bosnia, Croatia, Switzerland and France.
Get a comfortable bike and come along.

Dropped on with the weather then. Think I might do it myself next year or the Scottish highlands, sky etc. Beautiful country, used to go up the west coast for holidays a lot when I was a kid with my parents, simply stunning, on a bike, something else

We left on Saturday morning in sunshine and had good weather and only saw a shower on Wednesday and two Thursday but two more heavier ones Friday on way home and told it has been bad down south. The roads were great and very little traffic, the food was great and dirt cheap compared with the rip off south.

Well, back from the 500 Scotland, 2000 miles. If anybody here know any of the film crew making the crown program for Netflix please say a massive thanks from me. The hotel we stopped at a mile from John o'groats saw us in the bar and these people were in there on their last night and 2 were playing guitar's and harmonica and singing, mostly sixties to eighties stuff that none of them looked old enough to have known, the petite shy blond was fantastic, only wish I had taken my phone and video's it. Ramdom night added to a great trip I will never forget.

I think Jorge will call it a day at the end of this season.and I wouldn't blame him. I always thought he shouldn't of moved from Ducati to join Honda,he had the bike sorted and would of been a big threat to Marquez.as much as I admire Marquez as a pilot I don't like the behind the scenes of Honda. I think, and its a big think, they threw **** loads of money at Lorenzo just to fck him up..id love for him to get fit, join Suzuki or even back to Yamaha then flick the middle finger up at honda. he was 45 seconds behind Marquez at argon riding with a broken back he has nothing to be ashamed of..his a class rider and id like to see him back on the grid when fit.

Just see a interview with Lorenzo. Thought he was going to burst into tears. The guy has lost it he’s a broken rider and it looks like he might not come back from it. He is so far of the pace for someone that’s a 5 time world champ. Think that last fall where he broke his back has broke him too. Hopefully I am wrong and once again we will see him back on top.
