if we're doing it over 2 days, reckon we should avoid as much of the M'way(zzzzzzzzz) system as poss. very outline plan

31 Aug, travel to LE, B&B cos I ain't camping at my age at that time of year.

1st Sept, travel to just over half way, B&B

2nd complete run to JoG, B&B

3rd Aug, head for home

Just been given a copy of autoroute 2007 so could start working on a route.

As for doing it in a oner some peeps off Bikers Oracle have just done that and they were all totally shagged at the end and they were on tourers, they also used the motorways and were "making progress". oh and one of the bikes blew up about 2/3rds of the way.

i still think your all mad to do it in one hit , not saying it cant be done just saying when your tired mistakes can easily be made ,and ultimately the goal is to finish it safely .

our trip is split into 3 days to enable us to stop and enjoy the experience and hopefully get some fabulous photographs along the way ,we are still looking for 1 more replacement rider if anyones up for it???

[chicane]

Agree doing it in a oner is pretty dangerous as both bikes and riders are being pushed very hard so either could 'fail'. Maybe just me but I want to enjoy myself and 400+ miles is a fairly comfortable days riding.

[DG]

MMmmm maybe you're right. Even though it would be a reet feather in ya cap to say that you've done the trip in one day. But safety has to be the key.

I'll have a caht wi the missus and see if she can get the days off and I'll keep every one posted.
