Default Recommend me...

A weekend away please peeps.

For me and the missus, bear this in mind, she's a woman (), we have no transport so its down to trains and buses(she's not allowed on the bike), we have around £250ish quid.

I tried Brighton as the train there is really cheap, but then you pay more for hotel etc.

She's agreed to camping though which is a bonus Had things not have got in the way last week the AR would've been perfect

So somewhere we will enjoy but be able to chill out, all in one. Sea is a bonus.

EDIT: Would be for the 25th to 27th July.

first things first.

go to www.skyscanner.net and work out the cheapest flights for those dates - it's really clever like that.

then go to www.laterooms.co.uk and find somewhere to stay.

I found Valencia very good - easy to get to, cheap, and lots to do.

And how long have you been riding? With respect, girl's scars go a lot deeper. Whilst we're happy to walk around looking a mess, it could cripple a non-motorcycling girl's self confidence. I've got no idea about your riding style but have noticed the off posts And presumably she wouldn't have the full kit.

As for a holiday? A ferry to Amsterdam can be pretty cheap. Not as seedy anymore either apparently

Since November 06 mate, the first 2 were stupid, naive, over expectent off's, as in trying to get as low as poss in the rain on cold tyres for the second. It had been a year in March since I had came off. The one the other day I don't really know whether its me being used to the CBR and GSX-R brakes and didn't get much out of the SV a few times and expected not to when i cam off and locked up instead.
