It's about 100km less according to >Google maps, but it was a *coach* FFS OK, it's clear that we need different categories. I mean, getting on a plane is, imo, a much lower level of commitment and dedication than travelling by coach, so I would agree with you. My best is probably Venice to Huddersfield. By motorcycle (hey, back on topic!). This sort of subject usually brings out stories of 17 year olds flogging unsuitable 125s up the M74 in snow, etc. So I guess the scoring system should take machine capability and weather into account. <fires up spreadsheet> I may be a while... -- Champ We declare that the splendour of the world has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed.
