Goodies problem solved!

...but then again, hands up who wants to ride all that way IN FEBRUARY!

what about tying it in, the week before WDW? - for example on the Friday?

Late May/early June would be quite nice:)

Otherwise, wouldnt mind going again in Feb, but by plane

Might as well do this in May Ant, and have WDW '06 thrown in. Or fly down in Feb like this year, and last year.

Would be a good idea Flanks:saint:

Was also thinking of adding a day trip to Venice , as its only 1 & a half hours from Bologna, whilst we are out there.

Bologna is about an hour from Rimini. So, won't be far off 3 hours.

Also, I know a rather nice road from Forli to Florance.

Chicken, that's a bit of a boring route.

How about this one - only 3730 miles round trip taking in lots of interesting sights :smug:

Ducati meat ball run next year sounds like a great idea

The quick way round,

Let’s say 100 entrants ripping round Europe with some back up.

One truck with luggage delivered to the hotels day in advance, for unencumbered scratching.

One truck with spare bikes for mishaps and mechanical failures following in hot pustule.

Nice hotels ready to accommodate the whole lot each night, to wash, eat and party.

I like it, I like it a lot, lets do it wile you still can.



And the factory trip stick to the plain in Feb and save your bike for the meatball:eureka:
