Not much riding news posted currently, and most of you will know WHY by now. We were hacked by Russian cyber criminals and I had to take many of my websites offline to clean and resurrect them. EuropeRides was one of them.

We’re back on-line now and hopefully I’ll be able to get the travel forum back too, somehow.
We ARE in France yet again and we ARE riding here, so there is stuff to tell you and show you….. as soon as I have the time again!

Thanks for your patience and apologies for the time lost.

Check out the ‘Fuel Info’ tab under Road Info. I have added more links to sites about fuel prices in Europe. I will continue to add interesting sites. Some are in local language, but most have some way of entering a city or region and will then show pumps and prices. Check back regularly for more new!

From one of our relations we received word that he has a special offer in May! Riding a 1200 or 850 GS in the south of Spain and a stay in a wonderful villa INCLUDED.

He writes "…. I am offering 1 weeks rental of a GS1200 or GS650(Twin) for 550 euros. This price INCLUDES stunning accommodation, insurance and airport shuttle. I hope you agree that this is a great deal….".

Well, we agree. Unfortunately we can’t take Marc up on it ourselves since we will already been traveling through Germany, Switzerland and Italy at that time. But maybe YOU can !!??

One of the things I hate most is riding in the wet. I’ll do it when needed, but not with actual ‘pleasure’. So for all of you like-minded riders I have added a tiny little picture on the right, showing the overall rain activity in Europe, in miniature. Clock on it and you’ll be taken to the wonderful ‘Meteox site’ with LOTS more information on the weather all around Europe, and in multiple languages.

At least you’ll know whether to bring your rain suit along or not (mine’s always with me).
