Neither one of us has ever been to Europe. We are BMW enthusiasts and would like to rent a BMW in Germany and take off from there for about 4 weeks. Has anyone out there ever done touring through Europe? How about solo ie; not in an organized motorcycle tour such as Beach's or Von Thielmann or Motoraad Reisen. Where do you find out about where to rent BMW's ? If you're one of these people who has done this before, do you have any suggestions for someone new to the european touring scene? Will I be ostracized for not wearing full length leathers? Are there any countries to absolutely avoid? What must I do about special driving licenses and insurance? Anything else you might want to pass on like when the best time of year to do this tour might be? Thanks for any and all responses. -- Robert N.
