    2013 Europe trip

    I found your previous thread. 2 1/2 months in Europe would be awesome. Keep in touch and maybe we could meet up over there.

    2013 Europe trip

    Have you dealt with Stefan before? He is really easy to work with and very competent. My plan is to go in September, but it's subject to change if we decide to go to the Isle of Mann TT at the end of May.

    2013 Europe trip

    I am thinking at least three weeks. I agree that late May is a little early for the Alps. We were there during the first week of June, and many of the passes were closed (including Stelvio and most of the passes around Andermatt). In 2011 we were there during the middle of June and everything...

    2013 Europe trip

    I am planning on a trip next year. I am waiting to hear back from a friend who may be going, but has to wait until the end of this year to see what his schedule looks like. My plan is either to go again in late May, or wait until September. I agree that the weather would be better in Southern...

    2013 Europe trip

    Just got back from the trip yesterday. Wound up going for a month, two weeks with a couple of friends on rental bikes, and then two weeks by myself. Other than a minor traffic accident in Bosnia involving one of the rental bikes (very minor damage and no injury), everything went great...

    2013 Europe trip

    I am leaving the bike for a couple of years, and plan to return each year for a month. I will undoubtedly be in the UK during that trip as well, and usually visit during May for the same reason. Maybe we will see you there. I guess ADAC does not do green card insurance anymore, according to...

    2013 Europe trip

    Leaving May 25 for Heidelberg, with two friends, then down to Dubrovnik, Croatia for 3 days. Taking the ferry from Croatia to Ancona Italy, then on to Arabba, Italy for a couple of days in the Dolomites, followed by two or three days in Andermatt, Switzerland. Then we plan to play it by ear as...

    2013 Europe trip

    Shipped it out of Los Angeles last month. It was about $1,200 with insurance. I plan on leaving it there for a couple of years, with Stefan Knopf in Heidelberg. His website is knopftours.com.

    2013 Europe trip

    I am shipping my bike to Heidelberg in October 2012, and plan to spend two weeks on the continent. Haven't firmed up the dates, but sometime around the end of May to the middle of June 2013. I also have not decided on any exact route. I did a Beach's tour a couple of years ago and had a blast...
