If you're ever in the neighbourhood, I'm sure I can offer you some good tips on how to spend a day or two...
Might even be able to provide a place to stay.  Just let me know

I have been abroad a few times (Austria, Switzerland, UK, France, Holland, Germany, Greece), but if you look at it purely in distances, it's not that impressive.

In my previous replies, I automatically assumed that you were American.  Don't know why...
Funny that you're Australian: when I'm in England, people often ask me where I'm from.  And when asked to guess, they usally go for Australia 

They can't really put their finger on my accent (because I don't really have ONE accent). I think it's in the way I pronounce my o's.
My 'accent' has just grown over the years, don't really know where the Aussie influence came from...

lol cool... well Janx is a yankee sounding term.. 'old Janx Spirit' in a song or something... thats now how/why i use it though..

travelling is not all about distance though... i reckon your 7 countries counts for a lot!

yeah local tips on the area and maybe a lounge chair to nap in would be great! one day though .. (sigh)

you must be picked as Aussie .. cos of the 'classy flash factor' ... all us Aussies are 'dead-set full-on stylemasters!' .. you could consider it a compliment to be identified as Aussie!! .. (oh, we humble too!!  ) ... dont listen to those Yankee drongos!! .. they reckon we are uncouth and coarse yobbos .... well maybe SlipperyMongoose is .. but he is 'special' ... the rest of us would be fine at the fanciest restaurants anywhere in the world .. so long as the meal size is 'man size' and not 'one of those poofter portions' ..

bahahahahahhaha

I already sold the Vespa last week, but the new owner didn't have space for it immediately, so we agreed that I'd drive it over there later.

And that was today...
Funny: only 300km on the GS500, and already the Vespa felt like a little toy bike.

Friend of mine drives a V-strom, and says he has the same feeling when he gets on my GS.

It's all relative, I suppose.
