Testing the future
i bought my vfr750 in frankfurt and rode it back via the nuerburgring, but then it's built for that kind of thing
a mate of mine who lives near frankfurt rode his (can't remember what he has exactly, something like 8 year old zx7?) to the alps last year and was destroyed when he got back. wrist was bolloxed as was his knees.

Went to Moto GP in 2005 on my Aprilia Mille R with my mate on his Ducati 999s 
Went over to Roscoff in France from Plymouth then rode down to Valencia approx 1700km. Watched the racing on the saturday and sunday then spent 2 days on the beach before riding to San Tander in northern spain to catch the ferry back to Plymouth.
By the sea in Valencia
In the mountains somewhere
At the circuit
Had a cracking 10 days and will be definately going again this year

we went to Spain in 2005, done around 2200 miles in 10 days on my GSXR600 was no problem, worst thing was the luggage giving high speed wobbles 
We went to Portsmouth-Santander on the ferry then went to Valencia and Salou. got a photo in the other link about bikes in the general discussion section
wasnt too much of a problem with cramps/aches... mor probs with sweating ya tits off
