Recently went to look at this trip and found the site had gone tits up. I’ve now repaired it and have just enjoyed a pleasant hour or two remembering a memorable trip. I hope others may look again too?
FYI I’ve done a couple of trips to Europe since going to America. One last September when I rode with my pal Andy to see the MotoGP at Aragon. We rode home spending a few days in the Spanish Pyrenees. The weather was great.
Andy and I also did a trip to Portugal via Spain earlier this summer. The Portuguese coast roads down the Atlantic coast were awful – but we found some great roads inland coming back from seeing the World Superbike race at Portimao.

And the Portuguese hospitality and prices were superb.
Italy in 2014 ………….
Cheers – Peter.
