For the past 3 years weve been once a year to Europe - once to Nice, twice to lake Garda. Four of us on bikes, week long trip. Our other halfs fly out and meet us out there for a few days in the middle of the trip so not all good! Great roads but one major problem. We are loaded down with luggage - side cases, top box, rear seat bag, tank bag and slinging it around the mountain roads is...interesting to say the least. This year, new idea. We've rented a 4 bed villa with pool in the south of France - this one: http://www.homeaway.co.uk/p673159a

Plan is, we leave on a Friday, get there on Saturday. Our other halfs also fly out on Saturday. We unload our gear and head to the mountains while they sunbathe each day. They fly home on Wednesday, we stay until Friday (or Saturday) and have the time of our fucking lives.


Sounds like a plan!

Sorry Steve - why ruin an interesting post with foul language? It's a real put-me-off.

Sounds good, love the south of france, enjoy!

Apologies. Edited. I've deleted 'wives' and changed it to 'other halfs'!

Well in my experience most boys have more fun once they get rid of their women

sounds like a good trip and you all have done it in the past so why not enjoy yourselves

sounds great, were doing something different this year, been to france/belgium the last 3 trips with the ugly bunch, had great times. This year 3 of us have just booked a week in Goa (india), hiring enfield bullets for four days to pootle around on, going 10th of march.

I like the sound of that. It'll be like when Top Gear did something similar. No messing about lads!
