Cool fatboy, be glad to have you on the whole tripfatboystew5 said:Yo Tonymac - put my name down to help out fella! Only skimmed the posts as I've not been online for a while but would be happy to do the whole round the UK trip or take part in one 'leg'.
Why not get a group that are going to complete the whole journey and then others can join for various sections close to them?
No flaw m8, the first route was 3500 around the coast line of england scotland and wales. the route on the map above is only 987 miles so the is a diff of 2500 miles ish.fatboystew5 said:Think there is a flaw in your working out here! How many miles is this route? A previous thread mentioned its around 3500 miles round the UK. I don't care what anyone says, your average speed is going to be around 45 - 50 mph (even on a Blackbird!) so to cover 3500 miles will take 77 hours, or 8 days if you are riding about 10 hours a day (which you won't!) so it's gonna take more like 9 or 10 days!
I appreciate that your route doesn't go right round the coastline, but still looks like a bloody lot of miles to cover in 2 days!!
Thoughts?..........
