I'm gong to Scotland in May for 5 days. So far that's it for this year, though a weekend in Wales and a weekend in the Peaks green laning is definitely on the cards.

I might take my XT to France when I visit the in-laws as well. I have a Yamaha Raptor out there but I'm more comfortable on a bike than a quad.
LOL..Kids yes, but all grown up, which is good, as they can look after the dogs!

Married, yes, but she always comes along:)

Same here except my wife has her own bike so I don't have to carry 2 lots of luggage and a pillion. It's a good job she has her own bikes because she doesn't like riding pillion after letting me take her on the back of her old Bandit for a quick spin over the mountain on the Isle of Man.

Sure once my wee one is old enough to stay home alone, the wife and I will start doing bike trips again, but since he was born she doesn't like going on the bike with me in case something happened that orphaned him. I too am all too aware on the rare occasions that she has been on the back that I have both his parents on one bike.

Still I only have one child and one pillion seat, so once he's old enough to reach the pillion pegs and can be trusted to hang on properly, I'll be able to do more camping trips under the premise of spending quality time with my son ;)

Also now my wife has a Mini Cooper Convertible she'll be able to tag along on things with the roof down, enjoying the drive as much as I enjoy the ride.

I'm getting it all planned out ;)
