Thanks, glad you like it.
Tyre wear and grip was fine with standard Pirelli Diablos, did a trip once with the stickier Corsa's and they were dead by the time i finished.
Best time of year is NOW, sat in the office, depressed and want to go back, roll on July.
Being serious, best time depends on where in Europe you want to go, but anytime from May to Sept is normally fine, but of course August and the further south you go the hotter it gets.
When we do Morocco we only go in Spring or Autumn, you'd be mad to go down to the Sahara in summer IMHO.
As for riding abroad its great fun, don't worry the worlds a small place, you can either do it on your own, with a group of mates or there some good tour companys i know that will organise everything for you.
France still remains my favourite destination, easy to get to, great roads and even better food.
If you need any advice i'd be glad to help.
