Biking holiday recommendations…

On a bit of a side note I’ve been searching for a decent list of biker
friendly accommodation, does anyone have any decent links or know of a
decent book?

 

Just about any hotel on the Continent. Seriously.

Have a look at this forum

You can read the threads without subscribing. If you have a query
then register. It's free and you don't need a GS.

GS riders are some of the most widely travelled of all bikers.

That's pretty much what kind of trip I have planned for Malta 2006.

 

Bear says...

So would I, if it was made by a Japanese company. I swear I'll never own
a BMW unless it is given to me FOC.

 

Great. Good to know. Not like the uk then? I've lost count the times
I've been told 'sorry no bikers.' Hard to resist kicking up a stink in
reception, I wouldn't like to add to the already tarnished image biking
sadly has...

 

I'm currently in the planning stages of a Santander - Le Havre trip for
late this summer, having done the Algarve on a hired bike last autumn
and a mid-week break in Le Mans the summer before.

Always looked at the organised trips, but the cost and the fact that
you're tied into doing what's been organised puts me off them.

 

Not like the UK *at all*.

Fair's fair, they've been letting any old scumbag leave for years now.

Really? I've been riding bikes for over 12 years. I've never had a
problem with a B&B or hotel in the UK. I find that most places are
enlightened to the fact that someone riding 10 grands worth of bike,
with a grands worth of clothes on their back, is likely to be a good
source of income.

E.g. after I stayed with some friends at a place in Fort William the
owner added a page to his website specifically targetting bikers.

That's not a very nice thing to say about Cab

 

It wasn't supposed to be.

Salad Dodger says...

You couldn't possibly have meant me, I've never lived there.

 

Bear says...

Bike? BMW? Bottom end? Box?

I think we've covered everything there.

 

FOYRNB. I'll have you! Name your roundabout. ;-)

 

Is this a bit like the old Commando comics where you have to know who
lost the third round of the FA cup in 1936?

 

That's about my experience (without the 10K bit). Fiona and I went on a
bike tour in the UK for our honeymoon. We didn't have any problems and I
was in the jeans and scruffy red lined jacket school of bike gear.

 

Bruce's Scouse accent was enough......

What's the test?

- talk for 15 minutes about the weather?
- eat over-cooked vegetables?
- whinge about the bloke in the queue in front of you?[/QUOTE]

Nah. Moan that you can't get a decent curry in France.
