:thumbup1: Busy schedule! Looking forward to seeing you in Orange in a few weeks time.

That's a long withdrawal! :funmeteryes:

Please take it easy as you adjust to the 'motorcycle invisibility' that we get on bikes. Particular hard to adjust to after a long period off the bike and driving cars.

Have a great trip.

Three years? Wow. Have a great (and safe) ride guys!:scooter:

we may see you on the road
 

Hi Grant and Susan,
Look for us in the Vancouver airport on the 23. We fly out then too.
Pick up our bike the 26 and will be in Geneva the 28.
Will pass by the Germany hu location but can't make it since we have a weekend ferry to catch in Italy.

Hi Susan and Grant,

I dont know where in Switzerland you are going to be, and I also dont know where the Touratech shops are, but you are welcome to stay at my place in Bern - Weissenbühl - near the city center - in the beginning of June. Just send me an email.

Greetings from Bolivia

Hi Susan and Grant,

If you can post your draft itinerary of Germany to UK, would be a pleasure to meet you when you get into the UK and ride along with you to the HUBB UK event.

for all who are thinking about it! :thumbup1:

Good on you Grant & Susan! You both deserve to do this trip after all you've been through in the last few years. I'm sure you'll have lots of fun. I hope to see you at the HUBB UK in June or perhaps on my journey up there from Kent?

Go have fun kids...

Lovely Ride
 

Such a great trip to be part of, and I would have loved to ride with you guys, especially after Grant's health scare; unfortunately I'll be out of Europe.


Have fun, ride safe and enjoy yourselves, I know you'll have a ball.

Europe Ride
 

Hi Grant and Susan,

We met at the Queensland HU Meeting last year. We will be at the German meeting at the end of this month. It will be great to catch up again.
We would also like to ride with you to the UK Meeting if that is possible and maybe to Switzerland also
See you in Germany
Ride safe

Hi Susan and Grant! We wish you sunny days and excellent times in Europe as well.

We are sorry that this time we will miss you on the road. But next time.... :)

Greetings from Romania!

And so it begins.
 

Well it's been quite a day, but Grant & Susan were warmly welcomed today by me and the Touratech team. After a long flight and not feeling 100% with some sniffs and a slight cold, they braved a few hours at the site and brought along some flyers, stands and a new banner. I 've even had a sneak preview of next years calendar, ( but you won't tell anyone will you!). Our little space looked great and we were soon talking to some locals.

At the end of the day they were officially presented with a 1200 GS by TT for their European tour, but we were lucky enough to have it by our stand all day, with the excellent company of Anne Girardin's Alaska to Ushuaia 650 GS.

It was to to greet Hubbers, Tinoo; Calvin from Alberta; and Phil in France, just starting out on his Balkan raid

We're in a little tiny town called Kappel, a few kilometers from Niedereschach, getting organised and prepared for the Tourach Travel Event this weekend - they're expecting 10,000 people, so we should have a good crowd for our featured talks, one every day! the tricky part of course is language - we'll be doing it in English, in Germany...

After that, we ride to the UK on Tuesday so we can be at the HUBB UK, our biggest event of the year. Thankfully it's MUCH smaller than the TT event! For the ride, you can join us! See the Facebook event information here.

Hope to see you somewhere along the way :)
