'Bucket list' places to ride on the bike

Post by duke63 »

Was reading about this place last night. Vercors region of southern France just to the West of the Alps.

Looks absolutely stunning and is now added to my list.

Anyone for anymore?

Anywhere in Europe or the UK. It is definitely on my bucket list to do a IOM TT/Tankslap rideout/europe bike tour some day!

Duke superb post. Absolutely stunning scenery. Would love to ride there.

Bucket list. Don't have much of a bucket list for riding specificly really. IOM TS weekend id love to join into. A Europe trip (Austria or Switzerland for the scenery) route 66 when I'm older but preferably not on a bike would like a lovely V8 mustang as I have always for years and years said I'd love to do that so can't change that!! Also Maybe next time I visit my mate over in OZ we could have a weekend out on the bikes as last time he had his Gixxer but his duke was still at the garage due to the attempted theft, ignition barrel was screwed and had to wait for parts from Italy to be checked through customs, he was so annoyed as it took months to get it all sorted...but bike was back into his possession a couple weeks after I left haha! Would be in nice sunny weather where I would actually have trust in the supercorsas to do their job(if of course that's what the bike would have on it!)

That's about it...I best start saving haha!!
