Default Going around Europe

My mate may not have the funds to do a european travel in June and going around europe would suck with no-one to talk to!

Are there any groups of like-minded people and where can they be contacted? I don't know anyone that has a bike, can afford 2 months travelling and doesn't have committments.

I'll do it on me bill if need be but would rather not.

I've booked a ferry from Rosyth (Edinburgh) to Zebrugge on the 20th June and I'll be heading down to the south of France. I'm going by myself with a tent, leathers, helmet and some sun cream.

Don't worry about doing it alone, you're likely to meet other folk on bikes in any campsite you stop at. Or you can bring a spare helmet and convice a fit French bird to ride pillion with you!

I'd love to but I doubt I'll be up to it by June... If anyone's up for a daunder in august, say, I'd be well up for that.

Go by yourself... back in 1989 I did a round the world trip . took 1.5 years to do, but really enjoyed it, Austraila in a cage, but New Zealand on a Suzuki GS550E brill time and bill memorys, Do it or you'll be sorry later in life... Keep safe.
