Well then, that might make for some interesting meanderings.  Last year when in Turkey we took a drive in a rental car and I had my GPS with me.  I forgot I had the setting on 'shortest route'.  That is not something you want in Turkey but it did make for a very interesting scenic trip as we climbed up and then down a very steep mountain track  ;D

Depends who's providing the destination coordinates...
Lets say, the 'French' way is different...  ;D ;D ;D

It was my little brother (GARMIN user) who was leading the pack @ the French Connection...  :-*

Providing the right GPS coordinates will help as well... And not allowing your little brother to lead the pack with an English make motorcycle and an American make GPS when you have combined Norwegian & Dutch intelligence and 2 TomTom SatNavs does the trick too...

Love my new TTR400!  ;) But unfortunately, its the closest by VCIM meeting for me since 2003...
In 2003 I had to travel for 80 (!) km...
This year only 295  :P And with an Kiwi on a Transalp backin' up!

I don't know (or care  ;D ) what a TTR400 is  ;)
I believe this VCIM will be great, as usual, because of the people, as usual. :)
On the other hand, you have longer trips in the next two ones! (specially 2017 is very very very promising! :) even though the exact place is known only to within 500 km, to my knowledge at least  ;D )

Regards,

Josep

Very well spoken, Josep!  VCIF_ThumbUp

A TTR400 (TomTom, SatNav on smartphone, or any Garmin) is a device, which helps you to avoid boring motorways, and preventing some persons making comments that certain parts of Europe are boring.... because they travel by paper maps...  ;D ;)

Not yet time for me to prepare my trip, but I probably ride first the deutsche alpenstrasse (from west to east). I listen for all proposition from end of this road to Winterberg  VCIF_salut  ;)

So now you can listen and see.

Please see the link below.

http://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=xcensaevyztxjgjy

This is the "Deutsche Motorradstrasse" part IV, which is a circel, but which touches at the south east your way east via the "Deutsche Alpenstrasse".

You can addapt this following trip-proposal up to the middle of Germany along the border to Austria and via the "Bayrische Wald" (border to Czech Republic) up to SCHOTTEN, a great MC-meetingpoint
http://www.biker-treff.de/treff/Falltorhaus+Mototreff+an+der+B+276.html
which is located at the "Vogelsberg".

From there on itīs only few km to VCIM18.

Please feel free to take a part of it and program your Garmin/TT or just take a part of the GPS-data which you can download.


Greetings from the South of Germany
