Vianden 24 - 3 night motorbike blitz to Luxembourg
Luxembourg Sept 24
Lux or Bust
So at the last minute I’ve joined a few pals to zip over to Vianden for 3 nights!
Le Shuttle is on my doorstep and by morning we were on the French motorway, heading east. A quick bite to eat in Givet, and we criss crossed into Belgium and down into Luxembourg itself.
Vianden is on the German border and is a quiet and pretty town. Our hotel Belle View is convenient and has a garage for our bikes! Very handy.
Dinner was up a the Dutch restaurant (it’s owned by a Dutch bloke) and they do a mean horse steak.
Day 2 took us over to the Nurburgring and east into Germany. We were looking at dodging the rain today, which was coming in from France. After a coffee at the Nurburgring, we headed north east to find the elusive bend that a couple of us found a few years ago. We found the bend, but needless to say the camera’s were not on! It’s not that great a bend, but is quick and sweeping. As we headed west, the heavens opened so a steady blat back to Vianden for dinner.
Day 3 we followed KevKam on a nice ride up to Bikers Ranch for lunch, then twisted back through Luxembourg dodging the rain again!
Day 4 - no video today as it was a blat back to blighty.

Dambusters, Wankum and the home run - Day 7 - Change of plans

Germany day 7. Had a good nights sleep at the Hotel Sonnenhof who even gave me a snack goodie bag for my onward journey! Lovely little touch. Change of plan (again).

Germany day 6. Did something daft last night. Went drinking with a couple of Welsh guys and now I’m suffering for it. I should have known better.🤣 The two British bikes that were parked up were owned by a couple of Welsh brothers (Dai and Dai)? who are doing a dam busters tour of historic places. We chatted way past my bedtime about bikes, touring and life in general. I awoke in my ‘cell’ to lo...

Germany day 5. A bad nights sleep. Unfortunately my room was right next to the stairwell, so I could hear everyone’s comings and goings and doors being slammed. It rained last night but luckily had stopped by the morning but still a wet bike to start isn’t fun. I had another 400km to get through today, so I started off on the autobahn for about an hour, heading towards the Czech boarder. This p...

Germany day 4. So change of plan this morning. Last night after a quick check of the bike it was noted the front pads are awfully worn already. Ooops! Found Triumph Autohaus Am Hafen in Trier online. Google translate with a phone call and an hour later I’m drinking coffee in the waiting lounge whilst the technicians replace the front pads! What a fantastic service! Initially the guy asked if I ...

Luxembourg day 3. Hard days riding today, only 300km but it was exhausting work. After breakfast we rapidly tootled around some of the best roads Luxembourg has to offer. Many fast and winding, wooded lanes, with perfect tarmac and limited traffic except dawdling German bikers, generally getting in the way. We headed up to Esch-sur-Sure for elevenses! This pretty village is settled in the bend ...

Luxembourg to Colditz 24 - Day 2 Today’s jolly jaunt took us on a 360km round route from Vianden in Luxembourg to the Nurburgring for morning coffee. No one was racing today and the track was closed to the public (again). A shortcut to the Ahr valley to try and find a magnificent corner (yes, it’s a thing) that we found last year, but the shortcut was too good and we missed the elusive corner, ...
