Firstly hello everyone, I have been a lurker for a long time and I've have found all the stories very inspirational and have at last plucked up courage to go on a trip myself.

Reading all your rtw adventures i guess my adventure is a little lame but for me its a big step into a new world!

So do you have any ideas where I might go based on the following.

I will be riding my beloved Vespa GTS 250cc which will happily sit at 70mph.
I will be going in May from Friday night for 8 nights.
I will firstly be going to the Hook of Holland and into Amsterdam.
And my way home will be Calais back to London.
I will be staying in hotels, hopefully as cheap as possible.

I'm thinking Holland (at least Amsterdam , Germany (though i think the great roads are to far away), Brussels - Bruges, France - Dunkirk, not sure where else? Or what I'm missing?

I would be happy to ride around 100 - 150 miles a day and prefer if it was a fun ride.

Happy to go on the motorways when I need to get somewhere but would like some nice roads to ride on based bearing in my I have a scoot.
I do love the twisties be it country roads or just riding along the coast.
On occasion i'm happy to go through a jammed pack city as its fun to filter through, though not for to long though!

I would like to stay in some nice cities, Koln ? etc? and do a little sight seeing during the day their or elsewhere and at night have a little drink, live music and maybe the odd night at a club. I'm ready to meet some sexy European ladies lol

I wanted to see some of the historic war memorials etc in France.
I wondered if I could get to the Nürburgring ring and hire a car or brave it on the scoot - now that would be legendary if I survived.

It would be nice on occasion to stay at biker, scooter hang-outs?

Sorry for the long mail, but don't laugh I'm so excited, i know its not rtw!

Any suggestions or comments would be great.

thanks
