Bollocks to that. Save your money and go in Summer, but for longer.

I have been saving for this summer since late December, and now have £1600 stashed. This would be plenty of money for a reasonable length tour - I don't see why anybody else would be incapable of saving up enough cash in time for this summer. There's nowt stopping you but yourself.

Well i have multiple trips lined up, no where far as yet, just little weekends away into derbyshire or yorkshire.

But if you wanted to sort something proper out, like a 4/5 day tour somewhere in the UK i would be up for that. (Cant go out of the UK i dont think, cos of my liscence)

What's up with your licence?

A 33bhp is fine as long as you're 18.

Well i havent looked into it, just assumed that the 33bhp thingy was just a UK liscence until it reached the end of the restriction.

Hopefully your going to tell me i can go abroad with the A2 liscence?

Dave,

I'm thinking of doing some Europe touring probably late August early September. Haven't sorted anything out yet but thats what I am leaning towards. Was gonna see if any BCF'ers were doing anything around that time aswell! What do you reckon?

Erm yeah sounds good. Although i will have to be a bit weary of distance, due to the current reliability of the GS Laughing

But im not gonna sit at home and cry because it ocasionaly gets problems, so yeah i should be up for it.

Could try speaking to another few BCF'ers too.

Anyone interested?
