Default What's your latest bike trip ? - mine was 13 hours and four countries today

Rode home from Amsterdam today ... took the long way home ... Delft, Rotterdam, Dutch coast to see the dykes, Bruges, Calais, Channel Tunnel ... then home around London.
Its cool living in Europe some times ... even went to Zeeland which is cool as i'm from New Zealand. Got lost in Holland ... can't understand Dutch at all !

My head is buzzing, hands, feet, ears numb, shoulder feels like its being stabbed ... but I'm still buzzing ... great ride and my bike was sweet as all the way.

What trip have you done recently ?

Mat

Mine was to Sturgis and back.About 4,340 miles. No problems,except my speed sensor went bad. 57.00 for a new one.took me a couple of minutes to change it. A great trip,i'm ready to go again.

I will probably go to the myrtle beach fall rally,for my next one,and the last for this year.

Great trip. I got back Sunday from 4 days, 4 states and 2,000 miles (Billings, MT to Minneapolis, MN & back). Cold, wet & windy - know exactly how you feel.

4200 miles week before and after Labor day. Tampa - Smokies - Blue Ridge Parkway - Philly - Chilicothe Easy Rider Rally - Philly - Jacksonville - Tampa. Spent 2 days riding the Smokies, Deal's Gap and the Cherehola Skyway. Stayed with Mo and Courtney at the Kickstand Lodge in Sectoah.

Great ride .......

From here to Florence,Ky. About 650 miles in two days. Other than the flooded part of I-75 and the 12 mile/4 hour detour, it was a good trip. Man, you Europeans got it made. Being able to do 4 countries in a day boggles my mind.

I really miss Europe sometimes. Didn't have the bike when we were over there, but we sure did enjoy our travels over there. Sounds like a wonderful ride!
