Bike through Europe > Turkey & back £900?

[Rod York]

I really enjoyed the whole series of vids, watched them last night and watched others on your channel, good to see the whole family on the bikes too.

Would I be up to a challenge like that? Well who knows?

 

Well I have a few family commitments ( eldest is in GCSE yr)- but I have a cunning plan or two brewing.

If you would like to come along- do drop me a line- I enjoy meeting new people (as long as you are not totally crackers!)- I don't have dates yet or a firm destination...but it will be videoed & it should be entertaining...but not as alternative as 3 eyes 2 bikes & 1 passport!

( that was beyond my expectations- I can tell you!)

Hope you get in touch & thanks for watching

Great story! I still haven't watched the 3 last parts of it (I'm saving it for a quiet moment with a )!!

So, just for the sake of it...would you rather have done this trip on your own??

 

savour the moment!...

[Rod York]

Just sat and watched them all so far. Subbed and can't wait for the next one!

 

Sorry- I have just realised I have not answered or even thanked you!

I hope you enjoyed them & enjoyed the sting in the tail!

...Definitely not. there are some people who can comfortably travel on their own & I take my hats off to them. Me (believe it or not )- I like to talk! & at the end of the day- I enjoy talking through the days events & plans for the following day.

I enjoy learning new things (welding being an example) & If people achieve something further...then I enjoy it even more.

(my jobs have always been in that line of work)

Would you consider travelling alone or would you prefer a small/large group- if time/£ were no object...and to where?!

[Rod York]

Whos up for the next challenge?

 

What have you got in mind? Any plans as to where, when, how long yet?

Just curious. Not signing up just yet

 

Lucifah- that to me sounds like an "I'm in" type of post- Sniper is dead...long live Lucifah!

I have a couple of ideas, but as I mentioned before- a few family commitments...Nothing too heavy though!

Drop me a PM if you are considering a trip- It would be nice to chat.

Those last vids were worth the HOBGOBLINS (I watched the old stuff as well..Nice)

I can really feel how much you wanted those cigarettes that Sniper brought you 24h later!

To be honest it's been a long time I haven't travelled alone and I kind of miss it. If the circumstances are good, I enjoy riding with some specific friends of mine. On the other hand I like having my other half as a pillion. Pff, one can't have it all anyway...

Where to, you asked??Anywhere I'd say...That's the easy part. For start I'd like to see the northern lights.

Given your job title...I think you may have the tenses wrong in your reply....it should read not where are [strikeout]you[/strikeout] off, but instead ...we!

Are you up for it?

I need to get my Sh1t together, but there's a short vid planned out soon...you might be interested.

Well, I've got say I'd love to do such a tour some time, because there's lots to learn while having loads of fun along the way! That said, I also have a couple of commitments, which will make it difficult this year.

I'd hate to sign up too early just to bail out last minute.

If you could drop a few clues, that would help.

As somebody else said: The "where" is not very important. But for me the "when" and "how long" is, if that makes sense.

You sound quite ambitious, and the next challenge won't be the last challenge by the sound of it. Any plans for spring next year?

[Rod York]

Lucifah- OK- update!

I may be organising a trip in Sept and then perhaps one in March(dependent though)

at my site, im currently trying to establish how long people could comfortably manage & their preferred location & style of sleeping/bikes to be taken.

drop me a line if you have any prefrences

Regards

Rod

[Rod York]

OK people- April 01st 2015 seems like a good date...gives people 06 months to organise their "stuff"

[Stu]

you will probably be better starting a new thread for this

[Rod York]

Sir Stu!

if that's what you advise..then it shall be so!

...ideas for the new title/trip would be appreciated!

..."mongs in Morocco"....?? answers please...anyone...I have the route/ the timings...but the title evades me....

"rodders does Rabbat?"...."sniper goes for brown...camel winces???"...entertain me for a while!

Rod

When it gets going- I will move it to movies, unless you suggest a better location ( The bin!)
