Cooltours Motorcycle Touring Europe Tip #3; Make A Decision!

As lengthy explained in my tip #2, travelling in Europe can be widely underrated re the amount of time needed to get from A to B or, the other way around, is often by far overrated of what you can do and see within a limited range of time. Especially people coming from overseas do often expect to be able of using the same calculation-basics for their trip planning than they are using in the US or AUS. Let me say it loud and clear: It is NOT, it is NOT, it is NOT. And equal important: This does not at all depend on the riders ability or skills.

To avoid too much of disappointment, there is one safe, reliable and extremely simple way: It is my magic formula no. 2 and it is: MAD = MAKE A DECISION!

Again I must ask for your faith; Once you have done a decision for one or two main target-areas for your motorcycle trip, you will not regret! Much more, you will get rewarded for your decision. Your win:

• By far easier and very much more relaxed travelling
• Way more time to enjoy what ever you want to enjoy

• Freedom to change your plan anyway and immediately

• Occasions to stop for taking one or more pictures

• SEE and FEEL the places you have been, and not only know the connection-highways between these places.

Now, that we found out that there’s no way around making a decision; WHAT- or WHERE-for should we decide than? Going for a nice dinner at a cool restaurant brings out the same question each time: “What do you have?!”

So, what do WE have to offer here in Europe, you might ask.

I have spent some time to make the google map below. It show’s you (very roughly) the main areas where a motorcyclist can have fun in Europe. There are some areas maybe we can discuss to be on the list or not, other’s are not there but easely would be worth to be in there too. All of these areas have 4 things in common:

• I can tell you about in from very own, in depth knowledge.

• You will not regret having done your decision exactly for the area you did decide for. All of theme are worth a journey around half of the globe to be discovered by you on the back of a motorcycle. I’d most definitely bet on that if I’d know you better;-)

• You can spend at least one week in either one of these areas with motorcycling only. You will not ride the same road twice.

• It is easy and safe to ride there.

Now, as we found out that there’s so much choice, and that actually we can’t go wrong at all, if only we decide for one or two of these areas… Well, WHAT shall we decide than for and HOW do we find out what’s best for us…?!

Well, that’s maybe the toughest thing of all your travel, but, as everybody knows, the anticipation of something is major part of a whole thing and not rarely loads of fun anyway.

So, that’ll be my next instalment than, hopefully I’ll make it to that earlier than to this one!
