Hi guys, newbie here. Names' Jerry. I live in Dartmouth and ride a BMW R1200RT 07 for my sins. Love the bike as I regularly tour Europe. Planning my next ride to Spain in march 15 and have already booked our holiday to Italy, for Sept 15. My partner normally flies (carries all her luggage!!! there and back) but likes to be a pillion on ride outs)) so I can enjoy the ride down, mostly on the twisties. I'm not a racer, done all that, but enjoy making progress. Would love to hear of other touring guys out there. J

Wow, sounds like you have your tours sorted. Does she take helmet and jacket or you put it on the bike?

Welcome by the way!

Hi Kata. Thanks for the welcome. Deb carries her gear on her flights. I normally get to the hotel day before and pick her up/drop her back to airport and make my way back home in slow time. Works well for us. What do you ride?

Welcome

Hi ya and welcome along. Might see you on the rttb this year then

Hi and welcome mate

Hi and Welcome,
If your Spanish tour includes Extremadura maybe we can meet up for coffee!

Although Extremadura is a pretty big place (the size of Wales)

Wow. Cracking idea.

CB1300 and a GSXR1000. The CB I ride, the GSXR I wobble about on.

Hello from a fellow RT rider

Hi and welcome , RttB will be a piece of pee pee for you, great day out though .....

Hi Jerry, welcome along

Nice to have folk on here that do a bit of touring too... although I think sending luggage ahead of you is inspired!!
