Finally joined up
 

Hi all

After a long time of 'lurking' and trawling all the good info on here, I have finally registered and become a contributing member of this forum. Am currently in the process of trip planning for 2009 and 2010 and once these are a bit more final I shall publish them for discussion and disection!!!
I have done a bit of UK and Europe riding / touring and will often go away on the bike for 5 / 6 days and come back having covered 1,000 miles or so, so I am quite used to long days in the saddle as well as short days of only 40-50 miles and just admiring the scenery!!

Hi Jambuster!
Welcome to the HUBB!!
What steed do you ride?

Ah! the M25......that great car park round London. Welcome! Glad you've stopped lurking and started well by contributing! It's the right thing to do.....

Good roads!

Bonjour Monsieur! Remember, England is part of the UK and is IN Europe! Tut-tut!

Good roads!
Enjoy!

Thanks for the welcome guys. My longing for longer journeys started after a brief 4 day trip to Germany. Once I had been there and back on the bike, going out on a sunday was never the same again. I am now in the process of planning for 2009 and 2010.
At the moment I ride a Kwak Versys 650, which while not the prettiest bike, its reliable, cheap to run and comfortable for all day use.
