i'm thinking along the same lines, starting to look at next year...
done two one-week runs to france [one to annecy/the alps] and am now looking at doing maybe a bit more, not really bothered where, or who with, just as long as the roads are interesting.
done a fair bit of touring in the car too, most of france over the years, spain, morocco.
think maybe a fortnight would be my limit, work constraints and all that. gotta save some holidays for the long weekends in the uk!
anyone else?
