Longest I have ever done is to Estoril 500 miles i one go, my pillion has done 5yes 5 miles in one go, and that was for a coffe in Sotogrande tough eh!

When on a trek, we stop at half tank and empty tank which means roughly every 80 miles but then we did 4400 kms last August, two up all the way and it was fun. Except for the Glasgow rain.

I thought you biker types were all hard and tough?

I drove from Stafford to Barcelona in a Caterham, in the summer and only stopped to fill it up with fuel (this was quite often!) and the ferry crossing at Dover.

13 hours of non-stop hell

I'm just gonna go for it, get a good sat nav, Major stops will be Barcelona and cos its the misses on the back Paris, the rest of the stops will be what I find on the way.

Does anyone know whether you can just turn up and board the Eurotunnel, this seams the quickest n cheapest method with a bike.

There is the difference ShinyAndy, admittedly with 18 hours of ferry break in the middle but Sevilla to Perth, Scotland = 18 hours of non-stop pleasure, apart from the Glasgow rain and the overnight pleasures too

Great experience if you haven,t done it , well worth the money i thought;
