Yeah

Yeah, I thought I implied that but wanted to make a 2 week trip out of it by going to Spain as well. So the answer is YES, interested.
Cheers Pete and no chilli sauce on mine please.

Fantastic.
It will not be the end of May. When the dates come out they will be posted. Provisional dates are no good to us. Soon.
As for the route, believe you me, everybody will have to contribute. I've been there before and have some ideas but I think we will be better off considering other people's opinions and knowledge of better routes.
Cheers mate

Let's get things rollin'

Well your the kebab man who can if you want me to have chilli sauce and jalopino peppers then so be it...I sometimes like it hot.

Talking of hot, what's happened with this thread, there appears to be no more interest so far, is it too early for peeps to think about fun in the sun? I have never biked abroad and want to change that PDQ, personaly i would like at least 2 weeks through as many countries as pos, stay and drink somewhere different every night (a different woman every night wouldn't go a miss neither). That will do me fine, not much to ask, i am easily pleased! I am ready to start looking forward to it now so come on chaps/chapess' lets start further plans with the interest we already have.

Names so far:

Pete the Greek
Who ate all the kebabs Fatos Bertos
Mike with Kylie bike
Man of Bronze the Doc
Me

If i have missed anyone, let us know!

Let me count 1 erm 2 err 3, and 4 and err 5, thats grand, five go mad in Europe. Not too big a group either which has it' s advantages. :beer:

Think it was Wiz who went to France recently for the day and posted a friends discount code for the tunnell, does anyone know if we could use this (if going via France)?

Have a good week everybody....

Back on the trail

Right lads
The Monza WSB in on MAY 18th.
If the trip is for monza only, a crossing should take place on the Thursday the 15th, ride more than half way to Milan and stop overnight. Friday morning ride the rest of the way, sort out hotel AND we are ready for big time beers.
Saturday, mess around Monza, watch practice then Superpole.
Enjoy ourselves in the evening, where ever, plenty of places around Monza or Milan or what ever.
Sunday watch racing leave the circuit, more beers and fun.
Monday mid morning head back. Monday evening sort out hotel, light on the beers. Tuesday get late afternoon crossing and easy back home. 6 days minimum to enjoy it. Possibly 7 days, depending of how the group feel

Lets dont forget that the Moto GP at Le Mans is on the following weekend. Perhaps a combination?

Some feed back please?

Oh bollox

Errr Pete so you're no longer interested in going to Spain as well then?

I would like a 2 week holiday next year and I understand some peeps cant get away for that long so I may have to arrange something else. :cry:

XXscraper - wait a min

Listen mate nothing settled yet. Lets see what the common interest is first. Spain is still a good thing.
I'll be honest with you. Me and San have booked a holiday to Volos in mainland Greece for two weeks from the 8th of June.(property to buy search) The biking holiday will be addition to that. Quite fisible to go to Spain from Monza for 10 days.
Don't rule anything out.
If it is only Monza for a blast there and back, San won't be coming.
I am just trying to get a feel of whats what at the moment.

Sounds Interesting

Show of hands time please

Allright geezer, it's just that you havent mentioned Spain in subsiquent replies so I read into that and think......

There is no reason why some can just do Monza and others can carry on for an extended trip in Spain. So...

OK lets have a show of hands for who wants what over a max of say 2 weeks. Personally i'm thinking Monza, South of F then into Spain. :beer:

Who else is interested?

Ok mate, but propably all will do Monza and after that fantastic weekend, some will choose to do South France and Spain, some GP LeMans or there'll be other ideas.
Personally just Monza, then Spain for 4/5 days then LeMans then back home. Regard it as a lads do.
If nobody wants to do that, Monza and Spain bringing the wife as well.
Lets see what the interest is.

Sorry XX~~

Monza then Le Mans @ a push for me!!

Why not all meet up @ Monza then those who wanna do Le Mans and go one way - those who wanna do Spain can go the other way?

Just make sure Doc brings the compass though LOL

Could be up for this run.
My father lives in Marbella so might go & see him after the run.
keep us posted on the out come & we will see what happens.
Anyway i would probably get bored of waiting for fat burt to keep up so a one way ride could be good !!!.
:} :} :}

further confusion (complication?)

First, definitley up for Monza on the 18th.

But I/we will have to join you all en-route, as I/we will be coming from the North of Germany (Hamburg).

So this will rule out Le Mans for me/us, probably Spain as well.

So I/we will probably aim to meet you at the overnight stopover on the outbound route, and part company again at the same point on the return leg. Any idea where this point may be, roughly? got to start planning these things you know, what with wedding bells in the air and all that.


Keep us all posted Petrosc.

Mike, Andrea

and of course, Kylie

Fun in the sun

Great, thanks for everyone who has inputted, at least we are getting a feel for who wants what. I could do with some more interest with the Spain idea as don't want to go by myself :violin:

Le Mans is OK but lets stay down south in the SUN, God we get little enough of it here - take a look out of the window! :dunno:
