Seeking other travellers in Europe
 

Hi guys,

My girlfriend and I are two-up on a DR650. We left Heathrow, London mid March, have been around Ireland and at the time of writing are heading south along the west coast of France to Spain.

We'll likely go anti-clockwise around Spain (including Portugal), then see Italy, Switzerland, South Germany, Austria, Czech, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Bosnia, Serbia, Macedonia, Albania, Greece, Turkey...
(then Georgia, Azerbaijan, ferry over the Caspain sea, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakstan, Kyrgyzstan, and so on until SE asia).

We don't have a set agenda, other than reaching Turkey around mid August.

We're really keen to meet other motorcyclists in Europe to travel with.

Looking forward to having a beer :)

In France and Spain, I would stop in MC shops and ask about "local" rallies, events, meetings and such. I randomly ran into TWO such events in the South of France (April). Who knows what you might find. One rally had about 1000riders from all over France ... the other only a few hundred.

Very welcoming (Brit plates on bike) Most are just there for the weekend, but a few were traveling. South of France and Pyrennes get LOTS of bikers from EU, UK and beyond. The local shops usually know the scene and I saw poster advertising rallies. Remember, France has 5 times as many bikes as UK.

They are out there! Better if you speak French for finding travel partners.
Also, lots of riders cross from S. Spain on Ferry to Morocco. Simple and easy trip to make ... instant traverse into a bizarre new world.

All right mate , soz don't understand Facebook and don't want to !!! but where are you now ? i'm in SW France 46350 and leaving for Georgia at the end of May , give us a yell if passing

I leave UK on 8th Aug solo and hit Turkey, Istanbul 14th August where I meet my wife. Then travel around for 2 weeks inc Georgia, before taking a week to travel back to UK. 2up / camping.

I'm looking at leaving the UK early next week all being well. Heading east through Germany, into Poland, then Going to drop into Slovakia after a visit to Auschwitz. Shout if you're going that way :D
