[QUOTE="teerex51, post: 1416100, member: 146"] Hey Skoot, when I last saw you this side of the pond in October 2008 I thought I'd never see you again. [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif[/IMG] Glad to see you're planning a grand return and I'll be happy to help locally. I'll work on a few routing options for you, but I'd advise against taking your bike to Venice or Florence (or—worse still—Rome). These are cities that you want to explore on foot. You can safely park your Yammie in my garage (hope my Honda won't mind [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/sicksmiley02.gif[/IMG]) and ride a high-speed train to either city. The Alps, no. You need to diligently work your way up and down the passes like you did eleven years ago on my tricked-out 2005 FJR Having run an epic Tour of the Pyrenees back in 2008 (with our late friend Don) I can also give you some good pointers for that section of your trip. If you play it right, you can take in a big chunk of Europe in sixty days. [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
