Yamaha MT10. This is my road bike, however I think I'd struggle to get it in the camper. It may fit if I remove the top box, screen and mirrors which would be a bit of a faff when wanting to go for a ride. I'll have a go at squeezing her in for a future European trip I'd like to do. I'd love to go around Germany, but just taking the bike alone would kill me, as I'm not up for 10 hour rides anymore. A couple of hours is enough for me.

Kawasaki ZX10R. This is my track bike which is a bit of a play thing. This will easily fit in the camper and it would be great for hitting some European tracks on a road trip adventure.

Why not trailer it? We do. Great to be able to tour a motorbike when you get there.šŸ‘
Hi David and Sally,

My camper is a race van conversion and has a good garage space. If I can fit it in there, then that would be easier and more secure than a trailer. However, I'll bear the trailer idea in mind and use that as Plan B. šŸ‘šŸ¼

What bike do you guys have?

Arron.

Ha ha Wikky,

I've had my shoulder down before. This was at the same time as my entire body was sliding along the track. The trouble with doing trackdays is you get drawn into stepping out-with your talent and ability and it usually doesn't end too well for the bike or rider. šŸ¤£ Fortunately it's been nothing more than damaged paintwork, a couple of bolt on items, my leathers and pride that get damaged.

Arron.

Hi and welcome to the motorhome fun madhouse, as said there are a few of us on here that have a two wheeled bias, so you are in very good company. (y)

Hi Ian,

Nice collection you have there. Portimao is one of my favourite tracks, it's like a rollercoaster!!

Hi
If you do get the chance to visit Germany with the bike, make sure you visit the Harz mountain area for a good few days. As good as the Alps in my opinion but more flowing. We were on a GS 1200 at the time and had a great time.

Iā€™ve had pretty much everything over the years ranging from 500 two strokes to a Hayabusa.
The current mount is my old school retro which I recently restored to how I like them looking.

I'm impressed by everyones collection of bikes. I didn't actually realise that within the camper van / motorhome community so many people ride.

Good job folks. šŸ‘šŸ»
