Certifiable Old Fart
FJR Forum European Motorcycle Trip from June 25 through July 10, 2011.
There’ve been 7 FJR Forum Members who’ve been sending private messages between them regarding the planning out of a Europe Forum Ride:
Old Michael, Fairlaner, Orestes, Big-D, Dr. Rich, beemerdons and teerex51.
Since the 3 possible trips will range from between $4K to $6K+, I wanted to give all interested FJR Forum members eighteen months to save up for this!
We do not need to reserve our bikes and flights until this time in Year 2011!
We would NOT need to reserve our lodgings until Easter time of Year 2011.
Note: My budgets below include airfare, bike rental and room. NOT booze!
Proposals decision will be made from your input between now and 12/31/10!
Proposed Trip 1 – Central Alps and Dolomites. We would fly into Frankfurt, take the express train to Heidelberg and rent our bikes from my old friend Stefan Knopf: https://www.knopftours.com/Web-Site/Rental.html
I, and my BMW Moto Club AZ Beemers, have been renting from Herr Knopf for many years. Most economical bike rentals in Europe; nice K75’s.
One of the beauties of this trip is that we would be able to link up with old time FJR Forum Friend Stef – teerex51. Between Stef and I, we will plan an Alps and Dolomites pass bagging route that will knock your socks right off!!
Budget: The estimated cost of this trip is $4K. I led this exact same AZB trip in May 2007 for $3K-, so I’m absolutely certain it can be done for $4K.
Proposed Trip 2 – Republic of Ireland and Ulster, UK. We’d fly in to Dublin and party for a few days. Good friend Seamus MacTreinfhir, also a close friend of SkooterG, is a Dubliner and he’d take us on pub crawl of Dublin that’ll be just one short step of getting us all arrested; Aye, Begorah!!
Once we sober up, we'll take the 2-hour train ride from Connell Station in Dublin to Belfast Central Station; rent our BMW/Honda bikes for 6 days from:
https://www.irishbike.com/index.html Seamus has a nice 6-day route laid out!
Seamus says since “The Troubles” are calm; Belfast is a fun party city now!
Budget: Estimated cost of this trip is $5K. Will be my 1st Eire M/C touring.
Proposed Trip 3 – England, Wales, Republic of Ireland, Ulster and Scotland.
We would fly in and out of London, England. We’d rent our bikes for 10 days from https://www.rental-motorcycle.com/europe/uk...don_rental.html
Fairlaner will lead us through England. Orestes leads through Wales and Scotland. Your FJR Forum Irishmen, Old Michael and BeemerDonS, with able help from Seamus, will lead you around “Yer Maun’s Emerald Island”!
Budget: At the very barest minimum, the 5 regions Isles trip will be $6K+!!!
