Recently a club member expressed interest in partnering with other members to plan and execute a group riding trip to Europe in 2019. The specifics of when, where etc have not been determined and so the group would meet and decide among themselves what itinerary would work best.
If this is something on your to-do list, then now is the time to act. You can simply reply to the thread located here:
Forum Thread for Europe Ride 2019
This is not a club-sponsored or funded event. Each person would be fully responsible for the costs of the trip including any deposits. The club is simply setting up a forum thread for discussion and planning among members. You will not be obligated if you simply sit in on planning meetings and/or share your experiences from traveling in Europe. Its only when you commit to the event and put down a deposit that you'll have to follow-through. It should be a great trip and a fun way to get to know members. A ballpark estimate of the all-in costs including airfare, hotel and motorcycle rental would be in the $3000-4000 range but that can change depending on what the group decides to see and how long they want to stay.
If it sounds like something you might like to do, respond to the forum link above and the member coordinating the event will setup planning meetings once he has a few names of possible riding partners.
Note that another option on the table is a group riding trip out West to Montana, Idaho, Utah, etc. If the cost or time commitment of a Europe trip might be out of the question, then a US -based adventure might work for you. The same person coordinating the Europe trip would be willing to coordinate a Western Tour as well.
