I’ve been back just over a week now from my most recent ride on my Z1000 SX, where I set off without much of a plan. I had got dates in the diary a while back when I booked the P&O ferry from Hull to Rotterdam and a return (DFDS) ferry from Dunkirk to Dover […]

My travels took me from Holland, across Germany, down through Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, France, Luxembourg and Belgium … and then of course home.
