Guest Col city fan Posted 18 January 2014 Posted 18 January 2014 We're both getting our way. July on the bike, August on one of Stavros' finest !! I meant what bike?
Deucalion Posted 18 January 2014 Posted 18 January 2014 I meant what bike? Oh right!! At the beginning of August I chopped in the ER6f on a Bandit 1250SA (My profile pic is me and the other half on the Bandit). It's black, fully faired and came with touring kit, so good for the Belgium trip. Can't wait for the Spring when I can get a few more miles and really learn to ride the thing.

Both very nice bikes buddy. The Bandit GT is a super tourer.
whoareyaaa Posted 18 January 2014 Posted 18 January 2014 Going Skiing for a week on the 12th of February in France cost around £500 each for me and the missis, not too bad really should be fun never been before... any tips would be appreciated.
RonnieTodger Posted 18 January 2014 Posted 18 January 2014 Either Ayia Napa or a return to Magaluf. Undecided. I literally have the tv show as a starting point I can't begin to imagine! Good luck Maybe there'll be loads of filthy birds! It was quality from my experience
clare Posted 18 January 2014 Posted 18 January 2014 Lanzarote (Puerto del Carmen) for a week on 2 April. Long weekend at Center Parcs in mid-September for my friend's hen do. That's probably it for me this year. Got a couple of weddings to go to which will be expensive, but am already thinking about plans for 2015 when weddings won't get in the way!
Deucalion Posted 18 January 2014 Posted 18 January 2014 Both very nice bikes buddy. The Bandit GT is a super tourer. The ER6 was great for me but not great two up. The Bandit is so easy and lazy to ride. But...if you open the throttle in 6th gear at around 30mph you are massacring the speed limit before you can say 'aaaaarrggggghhhh'!! Just hate having it sitting in the garage doing nothing. Roll on Spring !!

RowlattsFox Posted 18 January 2014 Posted 18 January 2014 Orlando for the first time in September, cannot wait. Got Norfolk broads in June with my girlfriends family, never been on a holiday like this so not sure what to expect.
Soar Fox Posted 18 January 2014 Posted 18 January 2014 Where would people recommend for a week in England? I've only been on holiday once in England and that was Devon around 14 years ago.
Guest Col city fan Posted 18 January 2014 Posted 18 January 2014 Where would people recommend for a week in England? I've only been on holiday once in England and that was Devon around 14 years ago. Go to Newquay mate. Beaches, bars and birds... you'd love it...
Haydos Posted 18 January 2014 Posted 18 January 2014 Where would people recommend for a week in England? I've only been on holiday once in England and that was Devon around 14 years ago. I always loved the lake district when I was younger. Not sure where in particular. Have you got kids?
Soar Fox Posted 18 January 2014 Posted 18 January 2014 I always loved the lake district when I was younger. Not sure where in particular. Have you got kids? No mate I'm 26 and the other half is 25. I'll be driving so not bothered about location.
Unabomber Posted 18 January 2014 Posted 18 January 2014 Where would people recommend for a week in England? I've only been on holiday once in England and that was Devon around 14 years ago. Go to somewhere in Cornwall and visit the likes of Padstow and St Ives.
Guest Col city fan Posted 18 January 2014 Posted 18 January 2014 No mate I'm 26 and the other half is 25. I'll be driving so not bothered about location. Anywhere in Cornwall mate..
Deucalion Posted 18 January 2014 Posted 18 January 2014 Go to Newquay mate. Beaches, bars and birds... you'd love it... Like other people I think Padstow is the best area of Cornwall. It is getting more crowded though and it is a bit pricy. As a leftfield option you could go to the East Yorkshire coast. I really like Whitby but any of the coastal towns, such as Bridlington, Scarborough or Robin Hood's Bay are really nice. You have a coastline similar to Cornwall but the locals are friendly and it is cheaper.

Riding over the moors and down into Robin Hood's bay on a warm summers night is almost unparallelled.
marbelladave Posted 18 January 2014 Posted 18 January 2014 We're away at the end of next month. Mrs MD's birthday treat, planning to hire a convertible and take a drive...... "On a dark desert highway. Cool wind in her hair" And stay overnight at that hotel...... http://hotelcaliforniabaja.com/
ScouseFox Posted 19 January 2014 Posted 19 January 2014 Got back from a week skiing in Borovets, Bulgaria. Boss is all I can call it. Have a full scran and get completely whammed every night for about 30/40 quid, my kinda place . Can't ski for shite though, and whoever decided to put ski lessons between about 9 and 10 in the morning after about 2 hours sleep on an uncomfortable bed with no decent breakfast is not my mate. I only made one lesson, that was on the 5th day and I spent the whole time just trying not to shit myself. Ended up just asking a mate who's good how to ski, he just told me to start moving and fall over if you can't stop . Was funny just spending 6 days laughing at each other hurt ourselves though, as you'd expect. Absolutely loved the week, Bulgarian locals were all ridiculously friendly (and fit) to us, too, which was a nice bonus. Going Skiing for a week on the 12th of February in France cost around £500 each for me and the missis, not too bad really should be fun never been before... any tips would be appreciated. My only advice is if you actually want to ski then go to the lessons. It is much, much harder than it looks and should be .
ousefox Posted 19 January 2014 Posted 19 January 2014 Where would people recommend for a week in England? I've only been on holiday once in England and that was Devon around 14 years ago. Can't beat Northumberland. Plenty to do and stunning scenery.
Tevez Posted 19 January 2014 Posted 19 January 2014 Dubai for a week in June. Can't bloody wait. Anyone ever been?
lavrentis Posted 19 January 2014 Posted 19 January 2014 Whilst I'm in Athens trying to organise a trip over to zante but it's my greek mates idea of hell.
cambridgefox Posted 19 January 2014 Posted 19 January 2014 Going Skiing for a week on the 12th of February in France cost around £500 each for me and the missis, not too bad really should be fun never been before... any tips would be appreciated.Lessons,if you can get 3 days of private lessons( same cost of 5 days group) but you will learn more.However group lessons are funny and great way to mix,but can be a lot of standing about.Dont decide like I did the first time that after one lesson you can ski,I was lucky I didn't injure myself or others.Stick to gentle slopes to practice,they usually have a nursery slope or 2.Where are you going in France?Enjoy it.
