hi from London
 

hi everyone. despite being interested (some would say obsessed) by motorbike travel for a number of years, i always lurked but never joined HU. Im an active member of other forums including ABR and Ukgser, all forums have their uses but ive come here for inspiration and maybe a bit of advice in the future sometime.

Done a few european trips but never been outside this continent on a motorcycle, that doesnt stop me dreaming of it and at 30 years of age, im hopeful that a ride to far off shores will be on the cards. on 10th july I am riding off road through the pyrenees so got that to look forward to.

I currently ride an almost new BMW G650gs Sertao. Ive owned a load of adventure machines including new R1200s, xt660z, f800gs etc... Im terrible for changing bikes because 1 minute my interest is in long distance comfortable travel and the next i want to go away and do something rough and challenging. Pretty happy with my Sertao at the moment for a number of reasons which I will not go into on my intro.
And thats me :)

my trusty BMW GS Sertao

Welcome Dan

Always welcome here in Idilevo Bulgaria (home of Doug's Motocamp) - only 600kms further to Istanbul and a new continent of Asia !

I am also on the ABR site

thanks matey. i followed you on your RTW. enjoyed the vids in Russia with the moby music. planning on doing some riding towards your way, mrs is polish so want to stop there also.

Hello Dan
 

Bout the same here really....done eu loads, never further, really want to. Funnily enough I was looking at the maps to see about riding to Auschwitz last night. Always wanted to go, but the ride doesn't look very entertaining. But I might be wrong :innocent:

auschwitz is well worth a visit.im not sure about the ride as i flew there with the mrs haha. i have always enjoyed riding in germany though so id think it was decent enough. if you do go, make sure you get the english tour else you wont know the significance of specific blocks, rooms etc...

is anyone able to tellme why i have to log in twice everytime i visit the site even if i click remember me.

Hi Dan, nice to know there are some Hubbers around this part. I also travel from time to time around Europe, although not too far yet.
Have a great time and nice adventures. :mchappy:
Marco.

thanks for the welcome marco. ride safe
