The German blurb, run through a basic translation says:
Tour description
At the end of May we start our motorcycle holiday with the destination Corfu. We, Günter and Elvira, both crossed the middle of fifty, have been married for countless decades and have three children. Meanwhile, they are full-fledged and we are not yet grandparents. In this way, we have been able to afford intensive motorcycle holidays for several years. Our goal is to experience the whole of Europe by motorcycle. We get a little closer to this every year. Elvira drives on her Hornet 600 and I on a BMW R 1200 R Classic.
General information about the motorcycle tour
Our goal is to experience Europe by motorcycle. But since we both prefer "only" fixed roads, this tour scared us off a little at first. Even the many unknown countries and border crossings were not necessarily inviting for the chosen route at the beginning. But you have to leave to experience new and unknown things. So let's go on the trip. The intensive impressions have remained in our memories to this day and we hope to be able to repeat this trip at some point.

Accommodations
We have not booked accommodation long in advance. With the relevant online platforms, a daily booking was no problem. Internet is available in all countries. All accommodations were on a very good level, sometimes we were surprised in the most positive way. The overnight costs (with breakfast) amounted to less than 1,700,-- Euro for 24 nights. German is spoken in many houses. With English you can make progress everywhere.
Outbound journey
We always start our tours on our own axis from home, with the aim of arriving there healthy again. Certainly, this means that a few kilometers of motorway can be unwound, but it is worth it to us.
Food
Good restaurants are not difficult to find. Countless bars for smaller stopovers invite you and the catering in the supermarket is also problem-free.
In short, pretty good advice and answering most of the questions we see asked on these pages. Neither of them are what I’d call Adventure (with a capital A) motorcyclists, so would probably cover (by experience and aspirations) most of the punters on UKGSer. In other words, if they can do it, so can you. For example, if anyone wanted to replicate their jaunt, it would be easy to put the bods’ home town of Kelberg into Kurviger and have it create a route from say, Calais. Then, away you go; one instant holiday with no more effort than that.
