It's not a big trip, but it is to me......
Hi folks!
I'm new to this forum and new to biking too.....
I passed my bike test in November last year and I was unsure about what bike to get. I knew that I wanted to get something which would see me and my weary bones alright on a longish journey, a CBR 600F or something like that....then, for my Christmas, I got both of Ewan McGregor's and Charlie Boorman's DVDs (Long Way Round and Long Way Down) and now I have the bug and a have been branded "obsessed" by my girlfriend!! Is this normal???
Anyway, I have now booked a test ride on a BMW 1200GS Adventure and I am looking for somewhere to go to really get a feel for what it will be like to go on an adventure. I plan to leave Rochester in Kent (England) at 10am on Saturday 17th January and I have the bike overnight until I have to be back in Rochester at 2pm the following day.
Can anyone suggest a route which will have a bit of off road that I can go on for my first journey? I have a tent and sleeping bag but there will be no panniers on the bike, a cheap B&B might be an idea en route.
This, to me, is a really exciting trip and I would love to hear from anyone about their first time adventures and suggestions on where i could go.
It feels great to have a purpose and a goal and I now know why i wanted my bike licence so much.
Speak soon,
Scottie
